Film review is critical to winning at all levels of football. Too much happens on each play to see and understand from the sidelines.

But film review is often neglected for some common reasons:

• Limited practice time
• No AV equipment at practice site
• Coaches are too busy
• Too hard to distribute copies of game film to coaches and players

GridRoom makes film review too easy to neglect any longer!

How GridRoom works

GridRoom captures video from your digital camera to your computer via a standard USB 2.0 or FireWire (IEEE 1394) connection. GridRoom then compresses the raw video and bookmarks each play.

Once you've imported a video you can share the video by providing email addresses for everyone who should be granted access. GridRoom uploads the shared video to a central server using a robust transfer process that will resume where it left off even if you restart your computer.

Once the upload completes GridRoom notifies everyone that a new video is available for download. Those who are not already GridRoom users are invited to create an account. Users who choose to download the video are charged a small fee--about the cost of a recordable DVD.

Downloaded videos remain available on your computer until you delete them. Videos are stored using a standard Windows Media format. You can easily watch them using other video players, burn them to DVD, or copy them to other computers.

Sharing videos is just the beginning. Future GridRoom releases will include a variety of additional features to help you collaboratively manage and review your game films!
