Intro

Dear customers!

We are glad to present you a short guide on using new version of InStat Scout Video Platform. The material contains
illustrations and print screens as well as descriptions of the functions demonstrated on these pictures. When using the
material you'll find the answers to most of your questions about how different InStat Scout functions work. However we
won’t cover here such issues as “how to analyze a match”, “how to prepare yourself to the next opponent” or “how to find a
new player for your team”. All of these questions can be explained by InStat’s managers during special presentations. Here
is just a technical instruction or “manual” on how to use InStat Scout’s functions.

23
Functions of Team profile
When you go to Team profile the following tools are available to you:

 Creating a video summary on the team
1 A video summary is a new tool in the InStat Scout platform, which allows to create an informative video summary on your future opponent in only a few clicks. It will include the
aspects of the opponent’s performance that you are interested in.

Tool interface consists of a top panel and fields, reflecting the following aspects of team’s performance:

· Attack
· Defense
· Counterattacks
· Opponent’s counterattacks
· Set-pieces attacks
· Opponent’s set-pieces attacks
· Penalty shots
To start working with this tool, left-click on the large button ‘Create the
· Opponent’s penalty shots
team playlist’ at the top of the team profile page.

a b с

First, you need to customize the settings in the top panel, namely:

a The number of episode replays

if the same episode relates to different aspects of the game, select how often it may be repeated in your video summary

Total duration of the summary

b This can be done by using the arrows allowing to increase or reduce the duration of the summary, that appear when you move the mouse cursor, or by typing in the numbers on the
keyboard. NOTE: if you want to fix the total time of the video, you need to click on the «lock» icon. In this case, when changing the number or duration of individual aspects of the game,
the total duration will not be changed.

с The number of matches subject for analysis

25
Next you can see the total number of episodes in the summary

By default, InStat offers its most optimal set of episodes on various aspects of team’s performance. But you always can change the content of the summary by increasing or reducing the duration
of the video on various aspects of the game.

For changing parameters left-click on your preferred aspect of the game for example the Attack (as in pic. After this different types of attacks, the number of episodes and the duration of the
video for these types will appear on the screen). When you move the cursor to a specific type of attack, you can change the number of episodes of this type included in the final summary
(with arrows on the left or the duration of the video) using the icons on the right. If you don’t need some types of attacks, you can remove them by clicking on them and deselecting; you can
also add the types of attacks to the final summary.
You can also choose the number of matches for analysis different from the one in the main summary. This is true, for example, for penalty shots, which are not usually analyzed on the basis of
last 5 matches, but on the matches throughout the season.
So, if you are satisfied with the changes made and do not want the system to change the duration or number of the episodes in this aspect fix the result by clicking on the "lock" icon next to
that action.
So after customizing all the settings, you can download or preview the summary by clicking on the relevant buttons at the bottom of the screen. Or go back to the match profile without
changes by clicking cancel.

 Goals typology
2 There are diagrams of Goals typology in the upper left corner of the team profile under the name and the team’s logo. The diagram on the left refers to the goals scored by

• the blue sector shows the percentage of the goals scored after set pieces of the total number of goals
• the yellow sector shows the percentage of the goals scored after counterattacks of the total number of
goals
• the red sector shows the percentage of the goals scored after positional attacks of the total number of

or "opponent’s" to review opponent’s sides of attacks in the matches against this team

The arrows in flanks of attacks can be interpreted as follows:

• The length of an arrow indicates the average number of attacks the team creates in this direction per game (also this amount is specified below under the arrow, the first
digit)
• The height of the filled part of an arrow describes the efficiency of attacks developed in this direction - the percentage of attacks completed with shots (also this percentage
is specified below under the arrow, the second digit)

When you move the mouse cursor to the arrow, you can see the number of attacks per game and their efficien y + the average number of shots in attacks in this direction per game.

favorite playlists on the player.
These video summaries are played in InStat’s standard video player, and contain the number of episodes indicated on the relevant buttons.
Player’s best actions and his mistakes are determined by InStat specialists during the analysis of the matches according to specific methodological algorithm. However, these
best actions and mistakes may differ from the opinions of some InStat users, and this is obvious, since the opinions of InStat analysts and coaches may not be the same. Episode
search on the player works the same way as for a team, but there is no option of choosing other players.
Player’s playlists are part of the favorites system and will be further explained in more detail in the relevant part.

36
3 Player’s position and action points
Another small section of player's profile is his personal information and his action points. Note that player’s action points
are shown for his recent 5 matches, and player’s positions (percentages) are calculated based on his 50 recent matches.
Player’s strong foot and his control over the weaker foot are determined automatically, because every shot and pass
performed by a player has an additional characteristic – the foot it was performed with.
Please note that sometimes player’s anthropometric data may be missing. In this case, if you want to add the details of
your team’s player to our system, please contact the InStat representative, who works with you.

This will take you to the built-in editing software and will allow you to work with the frame on which you’ve paused the video. It works as follows:

6. If there is something you don’t like in the video, you can delete unwanted objects in the layer manager, change the settings for the time of pause and the drawing, or add
new objects.

Playlists
Working with playlists in Episode manager
The current version of InStat Scout contains a few tools that are extremely convenient for users to work with playlists (edit, create and manage the playlists).
Playlist is a set of episodes created by customer while working in InStat Scout. Basically every single video in the platform is reflected in the playlist mode. However not every playlist you work
with becomes a part of your InStat Scout profile. Sometimes you just share or download episodes as video files and quit without saving it to work with them in future..
If you want to save them as the playlist (not as video file) you need to add it to Your playlist.
The most common way of doing it is to add episodes to the playlists in Episode manager.

b a

a Activate your playlists tab clicking on the black tab on the right of the episode manager. You will see the list of your playlists. Drag and drop your episode to one of them.

b If you drag episode into the episode manager, playlist's title in episode manager will be changed to My playlist.

Favorites
Favorites service is the special tool quite similar to playlists. The difference is that favorites playlists are not located in one place, they are related separately to players, teams and tournaments.

1 To add episode to favorites you can use the “star” icon near to episodes in episode manager (you choose the “color” of episode as in tags system and player/team/tournament
where the episode must go to).

2 The second option is to drag and drop it to My favorites folder in Your playlist tab.
