  • A "mic setup" button has been added to the prompt that appears before creation of an internet lesson.

  • New video control button graphics
  • Bug fixes
5.0.489 1/13/2004
  • When using a DV camcorder in VCR mode, the V1's playback controls are enabled to allow operation of the camera's VCR controls.  The "slow" button are re-mapped as "fast" forward and reverse buttons in this mode.  For "slow" motion, hold down a "step" button.
  • Initial support for the Accusport Vector launch monitor has been implemented.  If version 2.2.2 of the Accusport software is running, then minized before the V1 is opened, variables such as speed and launch angle are copied to the V1 database.
  • It is now possible to use the V1 Processional version as an Academy "student."  Simply use the Authentication mechanism on the Options page.  You will be permitted to "move" video to the Academy; these will be automatically assigned to your default instructor as configured through the website.
5.0.483 1/5/2004
  • Internet Academy site and sport information is now maintained per-instructor.  This information is displayed along-side each instructor name found on the "Start, Options, Exit" page.  After selecting the correct academy information on the Options/Hardware/Internet page, you need to re-authenticate each Instructor account (re-entering an instructor's password will allow you to use the "Authenticate Now" button).
  • The current instructor's Internet Academy site and sport information now flows into the IGA.MDB database.  This allows a single system to correctly process video in and out of the V1 accross multiple academies, site-IDs and sport-IDs.
  • A work-around was implemented for newer Dell PCs experiencing an issue when running in 2-camera mode and attempting to switch between split and single camera views.
  • Bug fix: exchange of DV video between two pro systems via an Internet academy would result in a video field-order problem (video moves forward 1 then back 2).
5.0.481 12/18/2003
  • Bug fix: some users reported crash when switching from full-speed video playback to slow or pause.  Only occurred when not using "rgb draw" playback.
  • New behavior: the Multiple-Exposure timelapse mode now displays only the key-frame positions themselves, not each frame as it did previously.
  • The updater now first checks the last-known application path before resorting to disk search for the application.  This will allow you to update installations on the D:\ drive, or anywhere else on your system.
5.0.476 12/3/2003
  • Bug fix: IGA.exe memory management
5.0.472 9/2/2003
  • The "virtual keyboard" now features the @ sign and the underscore (_).
  • If a live-video source can not be initialized at startup, the user is shown the "Current" bin and the live-video troubleshooter is not displayed.
  • Some Windows98/Me startup errors may be resolved with this release.
5.0.470 8/21/2003
  • The IGA lesson recorder now correctly checks for the proper initialization of the microphone.  Without an audio track, the lesson will not pack properly.
  • The updater now correctly checks that ALL files are properly updated before declaring a successful update installation.
  • Bug fix: "large fonts" caused IGA lessons to be recorded incorrectly (video shifted and enlarged).
5.0.469 8/5/2003
  • Bug fixes
  • Improved IGA lesson audio quality 
5.0.468 7/18/2003
  • Further lowering of lesson/video packing priority to reduce CPU load
  • Increased tolerance for dropped frames during the first 10 seconds of recording
  • Continuous recording limited to 5 minutes to prevent exceeding 1GB file size; beyond 1GB, the Trim function will fail.
  • Bug fix: Trim would display incorrect file times when working with non-30 frame/sec video (PAL included)
  • Bug fix: Update notice now forced to top and modal to prevent appearance of v1 being "locked up" when update notice opens behind main window
5.0.465 7/10/2003
  • IGA interface now will unpack video recorded at 360x240 resolution
  • Software automatically attempts to re-install missing video codecs
5.0.463 6/24/2003
  • New behavior: RGB-output with full-motion playback now displays a single field at a time as opposed to the two interlaced fields simultaneously.  This method may appear more smooth on some displays, but is somewhat less efficient.
  • Expanded support for USB 2.0/webcam-style cameras.
5.0.461 5/27/2003
  • Bug fixes
5.0.458 5/9/2003

  • User-definable Internet lesson temp/work folder (override C:\iga)
  • Live video troubleshooter appears when live video fails to start
5.0.452 3/21/2003
  • Bug fixes
5.0.395 2/18/2003
  • Bug fixes
5.0.393 2/13/2003
  • Bug fix: Combination of left+right mouse button may have resulted in a crash.
  • Bug fix: Default key positions now correctly reset themselves when the impact point (#6) is reset
  • Bug fix: Use of the mouse wheel would not pause slow motion
  • Bug fix: Transitioning between movies after using the "eraser" tool caused pink lines to appear briefly where the eraser was used.
  • You no longer need to be in compare mode in order to use the Slide tool.
5.0.392 2/11/2003
  • The Slide tool now has "zoom" capability.  When the slide tool is selected, hold down the right-mousebutton, and move the mouse up and down to zoom in and out.
  • It is now possible to record two DV camera streams simultaneously in continuous mode.  However, this feature requires a fast PC with a fast hard drive.
  • "Check for software update" is now an option on the Startup options page.
  • BUG FIX: Key-frame display after a Dual-Firewire capture only displays 4 images.  The V1 was mistakenly setting the "split screen" attribute for these videos.  To fix previously recorded videos, edit the swing properties, and remove the check mark for the "split screen" option, then re-open the video.
5.0.380 12/23/2002
  • It is no longer necessary to use the Options screen to change cameras, or switch between single camera and dual camera modes.  When the "Live" bin is selected, tabs appear which allow you to select the camera or cameras you wish to use.  By default, camera numbers 1 and 2 are available.  To enable a 3rd or a 4th camera, select the coressponding Camera Views from the Options screen.
5.0.373 12/17/2002
  • New microphone setup and audio test process available from Options/Hardware/Internet page.
  • The Achiever button has been replaced with the Spline tool.
5.0.369 11/21/2002
  • Bug fix: now allows setting impact point and other key positions to any frame, and adjusts the other points accordingly to maintain sequential order.
  • Bug fix: an error during IGA authentication on the Options page caused the software to appear to "hang."
  • Bug fix: logo transparency may have been inoperative in earlier versions.  This should now be fixed when using Windows 2000 or XP.  In addition, this version should now support logo bmp's in other than 24-bit color format.
  • Bug fix: a certain Windows system parameter may have caused the video slider bar to behave as though the mouse button was prematurely released.
  • New option page: Hardware Options/Startup.  By default, the V1 senses a non-standard font size and adjusts window sizes so that controls and other bitmaps display correctly.  However, on certain international version of Windows, this behavior breaks the software.  Uncheck the "adjust according to font height" box to disable this behavior.
5.0.361 11/19/2002
  • New welcome/registration dialog
  • Fix: "hand" cursor was missing for the slide tool in 5.0.313.
  • Fix: prevents moving swings to IGA for students w/o email address.
  • Passive FTP transfer option works better with some gateway, firewall configurations.
  • Prevents IGA lesson if less than 100MB + 5 minutes of IGA recording time remain. (At least 100MB must remain AFTER a 5 minute lesson)..
  • Prevents sending swings larger than 10 seconds to student lockers.
  • The "stop" timer is now realtime.  Previously, it would fall behind if CPU load was high
5.0.313 9/27/2002
  • Fixes for Windows 98 systems using Video for Windows capture
  • Fix for Windows 98 systems using the IGA interface.
5.0.312 9/20/2002
  • Bug fix: free-hand draw "single point" caused a line to be drawn to an off-screen point.
  • Bug fix: the "both videos" button used with swing sync always moved both movies to the beginning.  Now, they move to the most recent impact point.
  • Bug fix: 8-key position timelapse with "stacked" compare orientation selected now displays images cropped in the same way.
  • Bug fix: sending a swing to the IGA caused the number of frames in the video to be doubled.
  • Bug fix: Current IGA instructor is now logged off from the IGA when Exiting to the main menu. 
5.0.307 8/15/2002
  • Bug fix: deleting from IGA outbox.

5.0.306 8/13/2002
  • Fixes to IGA uploading process; this version now works exclusively with the Internet Golf Academy website.

5.0.303 8/6/2002

  • Bug fixes
5.0.272 5/17/2002
  • Support for systems without hardware overlays and systems using dual-monitors in "cloned" mode.  The advaced Live Video option "draw video directly to desktop (RGB)" must be enabled.

  • Support for "large" fonts and other system font sizes larger than 100% of normal.  This mode requires a screen resolution of at least 1280x1024, and will use a "window" instead of the full screen.  PAL systems will benefit greatly from this ability, as the entire PAL video window will be visible.
