Saline HS used to spend close to 4 hours reviewing the previous weeks game tape with their players using a VCR. Now they watch that video from a Macintosh running TD Video, and the meeting takes 2 hours. Part of that time savings comes from eliminating fast forward and rewind delays. The other part comes from the improved quality of the video. There's less discussion about what happened in a play, because the players' numbers and field markings are clearer. Saving 2 hours each week for the whole team is huge.
Grand Valley State University used to do cutups using a computer controlled linear (tape based) system. Their video coordinator used to sleep on a couch in front of the system to make sure it accomplished its tasks. Since TD Video gets his work done faster, he sleeps at home. TD Video doesn't have to wait for the Master VCR to fast forward or rewind to find a particular play. When your video is on a hard drive, you can jump from one play to any other play without delay.
Since TD Video will run in a laptop, you can capture video and some game data live during a game. We do that at Saline High School in Saline, Michigan. After the game is over, we're ready to copy the entire game to 6 hard drives for the coaches. You can copy a single camera game from one hard drive to another in about 5 minutes. 6 copies takes half an hour.
Since the 2006 season, we have used two Macs to capture video during the game (also at Saline High School). One Mac is connected to our pressbox camera. The other Mac is connected to our endzone camera. Both cameras are captured live during the game. After the game, we use TD Video's "Import Video from a Folder" command to import the video from one TD Video project into the other. It takes about 10 minutes to copy the video from one hard drive to another, and an additional 5 minutes to match up the clips. One game checkerboarded in 15 minutes.
