Laptop Coaching Presentations

Point-HD Trainer on a laptop allows coaches to give team talks easily at any location, the laptop can be used as a one on one presentation or connecting the laptops monitor output to a projector or large screen display allows for presenting to the whole team. The laptop configuration is useful for coaches who would like to prepare presentations at home or on the road, coaches can record the annotations with voice over and save these as video clips to play out at the next meeting.

side text next to picture "With Point-HD Trainer, the display output feeding the external monitor/projector can be set to any resolution supported by the graphics card and display device. For example a typical laptop resolution maybe 1280 x 720 and a HD display could be attached to the laptops monitor output, with Point-HD Trainer you can set up the secondary display to a full 1920 x 1080 resolution, which allows the audience to view presentations in full HD."

Desktop Coaching System

Point-HD Trainer can be run on a desktop computer fitted with a graphics card with two monitor outputs. This configuration is useful for coaching and briefing rooms which may have an existing AV installation or where a permanent type of setup is required. The first video output from the computer is sent to the coaches touch screen monitor, this monitor could be located either at the front of the room in a lectern or at the back on a conference room table or even a larger touch screen monitor located at the front of the room. The second video output from the computer is sent to a second large screen display or projector, this will show the output from the Point-HD Trainer to the team players, this output will only show the video and any annotations being made by the coach, it does not show the tools or buttons from the coaches control screen, this allows the players to focus only on what they are being shown by the coach, rather than being distracted by the tools and buttons. Unlike conventional white board applications - with Point-HD Trainer you can help focus your players on retaining the key messages, rather than the players wondering what tool the coach is about to use next!

External Computer Inputs

The PHD-2012 when combined with the XV-RGB-E1s input module, allows external computers such as Apple Mac Books, Ipads or PC's to be input as the background to the Point-HD. This allows users running 3rd party coaching applications on other computers to feed their computers output into the Point-HD Trainer. For example a video analyst can cue up video on their laptop running the 3rd party application and feed that into the Point-HD system so that the coach can annotate and draw over the external video in real time.

Interfacing with iPads and Tablets

By connecting the PHD-2102 to a wireless router the system can be controlled via a wireless tablet or iPad device. Please contact us for further information.
