2. "Actualizing Athletics through
Computerized-Video Technology"
The Movement Analysis Company
(TMAC) helps clients actualize athletic
performance using 21st century
products, and procedures. TMAC
incorporates computerized-video
technology and interactive learning into
your existing sports program. TMAC uses
the NEAT (Never Ending Athletic Trainer)
System as a primary component. The
NEAT System utilizes a video capture
card and motion analysis software.
The video capture card works as a
translator that allows standard analog
video cameras, VCRs and TVs to
communicate with the digital language
of personal computers. This enables you
to input footage from old and new
video sources directly into your PC using
your regular camcorder, VCR, or TV. The
user can then analyze the video images
in both a comparative and a
quantitative fashion.
This scientific method of evaluating and
comparing of video footage is applicable to
many areas of health, fitness and recreation, as
well as athletics. TMAC provides personal and
professional advice for all its clients, helping them
to apply computerized -video analysis
techniques quickly and effectively to their
program or situation.
