01: Introduction

Overview

Paint 9 is the sports analysis tool. Paint allows you to record live video, import files, stream live video, and add graphics to all, with an easy to use UI and toolset.
Paint 9 comes with a comprehensive set of tools for visualizing different facets of your chosen sport, or for highlighting individual player performance. The tools range from simple tied to field freehand lines, to fully 3D arrows and an interactive formation tool for tactical presentation. The look and feel of all inserted objects can be totally customized using standard image editing software to make the built-in tool set capable of fitting your brand or production look-and-feel.
Paint's built-in disc recorder allows for easy ingest of footage, in up to 3 channels of HD and 1 channel of UHD. The disc recorder can be exchanged for, or complemented by, an EVS control interface. Let the EVS operator prepare the sequences for analysis and let the commentator control the play out. No more “roll the clip, please...”.
