Note 1 cSwing is a trademark of cSwing LLC. V1 is a trademark of Interactive Frontiers. ASTAR is a trademark of ASTAR Inc. GASP and Sports Coach are trademarks of GASP Systems Ltd and Sports Coach Ltd. Swinger is a trademark of WEBBsoft Technologies. Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

Note 2 The wheel mouse is made more effective in cSwing by recognizing the Shift, Ctrl and Shift+Ctrl key as modifiers to increase the stepping speed. This makes getting to the frame you want faster. cSwing also use the fourth and fifth buttons on the Intellimouse Explorer to give you quick access to advanced commands.

Note 3 The NTSC video standard is used primarily in North America and Japan. The PAL standard is used in Europe and elsewhere. Using a DV camcorder, NTSC provides 60 frames per second whereas PAL provides higher resolution at 50 frames per second.

Note 4 Added April 2004.

Note 5 The CD version includes the cSwing Pro Library. It can be purchased separately for use with the download version. It is too large (more than 500 MB) to download easily. Call ProShot Solutions on 01403 752 714 for more details.

Note 6 Currently, cSwing only allows overlay for the current swing window. This is the most effective use we have seen with the overlay feature. We plan to add the capability to overlay different swings.

Feature support for other products was determined by information available on the Internet as of July 2004. Corrections may be submitted to sales@proshotsolutions.co.uk
