SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Catapult Group International Limited (ASX: CAT), the global leader in performance technology for elite sports, has announced a series of innovative updates to its Football (Soccer) Pro Video Suite.

These enhancements aim to provide teams with deeper insights and time-saving features for the upcoming European season. The latest upgrades include improved workflows, smarter presentation tools, faster calculation capabilities, and new time-saving automations.

The Pro Video Suite comprises three main components: Focus, Hub, and MatchTracker. Focus allows football teams to capture multi-angle video during games or practice, tagging data live or post-events for future analysis. Hub extends Focus’s capabilities with a cloud-based publishing and sharing platform, enabling real-time distribution of presentations and insights across various team departments from any location. MatchTracker, a powerful data analysis tool, connects multiple datasets, including wearable data, to video, enabling quick filtering and visualization of insights.

To prepare for the upcoming European Football season, Catapult has introduced several enhancements:

1. New time-saving automations: The latest version of MatchTracker streamlines the analysis of athlete data with video. Updates include an automated wearable data import process and auto-synchronization of match periods, significantly increasing the efficiency of combining data by 95% compared to its initial launch.
2. Real-time live workflows: Catapult’s Pro Video now offers live analysis capabilities, enabling instant sharing of video and data across multiple wireless devices. This feature, previously utilized in leading Formula One teams, is now available to football analysts, facilitating real-time insights for coaches and athletes during matches.
3. Smarter Presentations: The Pro Video Suite’s presentation tools have been enhanced to streamline coaches’ delivery of performance insights. New updates allow for easy movement or erasure of player positions with a single click and improved pitch annotations, making cross-team communications clearer and more effective.
4. Faster Calculation Tools: Catapult has introduced a no-code solution that enhances analysts’ control of live data visualization. The new Calculation Wizard enables the creation of data windows using custom datasets, providing lightning-fast access to data.

Catapult CEO Will Lopes expressed confidence in the Pro Video Suite, stating, “Our Pro Video Suite is becoming the most powerful video tool in sports. The industry has been conditioned to use video tools solely for tagging and editing, but our customers desire more time and better insights. With our latest innovations, the upcoming European Football season will witness significant improvements in time-saving and insights. We are dedicated to providing coaches with the tools they need to unleash their team’s true potential.”

Catapult’s commitment to empowering coaches has contributed to its rapid growth. By offering cutting-edge solutions, the company continues to revolutionize the way coaches analyze and elevate their team’s performance. The Tactics & Coaching (T&C) business line, including the Pro Video Suite, has experienced substantial growth in Soccer, Basketball, Rugby, and Motorsports. In Fiscal Year 2023, the EMEA region achieved a growth rate of 14.1% compared to FY22, while APAC grew by an impressive 32.1%.

Catapult’s ongoing innovation and dedication to providing valuable insights to sports teams position it as a leader in the field, setting new benchmarks in the world of elite sports.
