Hudl Sportscode XML format support
We now support the new Hudl Sportscode annotation format for importing annotations to your OpenField timeline.
This has been provided in addition to the existing Sportscode importer, giving you the choice of format for your annotation imports
Optical arm band heart rate monitor support
We have introduced support for optical arm band heart rate monitors, for use with Vector Devices. Optical heart rate monitors use photoplesmography (PPG - using light to measure blood flow) and are a good substitute for a standard chest strap monitor.
- Activate optical HR on your vector devices in the console device manager
- Support for Polar OH1 and Scorche Rhythm+ monitors
- Turn on your Optical HR monitor and Vector Device and wait 10 seconds for them to pair (you will see the bluetooth indicator light turn solid
- Please note: Optical HR arm bands do not measure heart rate the same way as a chest strap. Optical HR monitors use light to measure blood flow and studies show HR values can be slightly lower (with lag) when measured this way, compared to a chest strap
- Please Note: Bluetooth Heart Rate is only supported for Optical Heart Rate arm band devices only. Chest strap HR devices should be used with Vector Devices on Magnetic Heart Rate Mode Only
