So, is this product just for techies that want to play with technology, or does it have real benefits for a coach. Your techies will love it, and your not-so-techie coaches won't want to give it up. They get higher quality video that they can watch in less time.
Our customers are our best salesmen. After Hope College in Michigan purchased TD Video, it spread to Big Rapids HS, Grand Valley State University, the Philadelphia Soul, Central Michigan University and Adrian College.
Grand Valley State University in Michigan has used TD Video for 6 seasons. 4 of those 6 seasons they were Division II national champs. While using TD Video, they won a record 40 games in a row.
Former Grand Valley head coach Brian Kelly moved to Central Michigan University. Brian chose TD Video for CMU because he was used to taking his video home on his laptop at a reasonable price.
Greg Stoller from Fort Vancouver High School says: TD Video gave us an extra win last year, because we started scouting our opponents.
Saline High School in Saline Michigan is the test site for TD Video. At Saline, our defensive coordinator uses a laptop computer, but using a computer is not something that he does for fun. In the fall of 2003, we gave him his game video on VHS tape, and also on a hard drive so he could view it on his laptop with TD Video. After a couple games we noticed his VHS tape wasn't leaving the office. We asked him why he was watching his video on the laptop, and he replied "the quality is much better and it saves a lot of time". We knew that, but we were glad that he thought so too.
Watch the interception shown below. You'll want to watch it several times. You can watch it again without waiting for a tape to rewind. That saves a lot of time. With TD video you can watch it forwards and backwards, in slow motion or frame by frame - flicker free.
The QuickTime video shown above was produced by TD Video. It was filmed in 2001 during a very rainy game. The video was compressed at one quarter of its original resolution so that it will transmit over the web. The original video file is 26 times larger than what you're watching here and looks better too.
If you can't display the video shown below, you may need to download the latest version of the QuickTime Player from "www.apple.com/quicktime".
