Each video must consist of one delivery only, filmed in 4k video and at 60 fps. THE APP WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT THESE SETTINGS. Of course, the pitching and impact must be recorded in the video At present, it requires a WHITE CRICKET BALL and will not work with other colors. The 4 corners to click (see above) must be FULLY VISIBLE in the video. Additionally, THE TOP OF OFF STUMP SHOULD BE VISIBLE AT THE START OF THE VIDEO to calibrate the tracker. Once the app icon is clicked, instructions on which corners to click along with which order to be selected appears. Then, the user has to pick the video for review. It may take a moment for the video to be rendered Once a video has been selected, the users can click the "RHB" (Right Hand Bat) button to change it to "LHB" (Left Hand Bat). The button toggles between these two modes. The video will play automatically once rendered so the users can identify that delivery. Then user selects the corners in the right sequence. 2 fingers can be used to zoom the video in (to the center) and 1 finger to click. If the user needs to modify selection, then the "Reset" button is available to clear the corner clicks. Once the 4 required corners have been selected, a "Send" button will appear. After this. an "Uploading video" popup will be visible. After the pop-up disappears, the user should be able to see the OUT / NOT OUT / UMPIRE'S CALL decision. Also, users will see a small yellow and red line drawn close to the batsman (zooming may be needed to see it). The yellow part represents the visible ball path and the red represents the predicted path. The transition from yellow to red path is meant to be approximate and not exact. If N/A is still present after the Uploading Video popup has vanished, then trying again will usually solve the problem. If user wants to upload a new video, the "New" button can be used. When uploading a new video, make sure to click the Reset button.

Review sessions frame by frame and uncover details that are difficult to see at full speed. BATTING ANALYSIS Go beyond runs and outcomes. Analyze batting technique and movement with insights including bat angles, foot positioning, shot selection, shot control and impact-related metrics. Understand how a player moves through a shot and identify patterns across training sessions. BOWLING ANALYSIS Break down bowling performance delivery by delivery. Analyze line, length, speed, deviation, release mechanics and delivery patterns to build a picture of bowling performance and consistency. BALL TRACKING & 3D VISUALIZATION See the delivery, not just the result. Advanced Impactor uses ball tracking and advanced visualization to analyze ball trajectory, release, pitch and impact points. Review deliveries through visualizations that make complex information easier to understand. PITCH MAPS & PERFORMANCE VISUALIZATIONS Turn a session into an easy-to-understand view of performance. Use pitch maps, wagon wheels, delivery visualizations and performance metrics to identify patterns that may be difficult to recognize from video alone. BIOMECHANICAL INSIGHTS Explore the movements behind performance. Analyze key elements of batting and bowling mechanics, including body positioning, movement sequencing, alignment and technique. For batters, examine elements such as swing path, torso rotation and impact-chain timing. For bowlers, review elements such as stride flow, shoulder alignment and release mechanics.
