XOS Annotation Import

What is the XOS Annotation Import?

The XOS Annotation Import feature makes use of the 'Catapult Annotation' import functionality, to import video coded events and Periods from XOS Thunder, as Annotations and Periods to an existing OpenField Activity.

Minimum Requirements

• OpenField version 1.22.2 or above
• XOS .JSON export to be generated from XOS Thunder version 18.10.112 or above

How to Import XOS Annotations

1. On XOS Thunder, generate/export the .JSON file that contains the XOS Coded Events and Periods.
   Please contact XOS Support for more help with this step if required.
   
   
2. Copy the .JSON file to a known location on your OpenField PC.
   
   
3. Open the OpenField Console, and Load or Create an Activity, that is time-appropriate to the XOS import.
   
   
4. Right click on the Activity Bar, and select Import Codes, followed by Catapult Annotations.
   
   
   
   
5. Select Select File from the Catapult Annotations interface.
   
   
   
   
6. Find and open the .JSON file generated from XOS Thunder.
   
   A warning will be displayed if the Annotation File has time periods too far before/after the OpenField Activity.
   
   
   
   
7. A summary of the .JSON file will be provided.
   
   
   
   
   • Rename the Annotation Layer Name if desired.
     
     
   • Choose whether to Import the XOS Thunder Periods (if selected, the Periods created in XOS Thunder will be generated as OpenField Periods after Import).
     
     
   • Select which Categories you wish to Import.
     
     
8. Select Import to import selected Categories and Periods (if selected).
   
   
   
   
9. Add Athletes into imported Periods, if XOS Thunder Periods were also imported.
   
   
10. A Summary of each annotation can be retrieved by hovering the mouse over an Annotation.
