Dartfish is state-of-the-art video analysis software tool that is fast becoming an industry standard in figure skating coaching. All skaters can benefit from this tool, from recreational to elite competitive!
Dartfish allows the coach to capture video with a remote control, DV camera, and a laptop computer. The computer allows the coach to store and analyze huge amounts of video material quickly and give appropriate feedback almost instantly. This speeds the learning process and creates a safer learning environment. It is possible to publish the video to CDROM, DVDROM, or by email. This makes consulting and distance learning a snap. Imagine being able to send your individual program to a coach, technical specialist or judge using this detailed video analysis tool to provide feedback on skills, technical elements, provide the levels of ISJ elements performed, etc. The possibilities are enormous!
