Observing-V 4+

• Purpose: Coding and analysing video recordings. Examples: scientific analysis of human or animal behaviour, analysing and assessing television reports or programmes, monitoring progress in sport activity, … every videotaped events, that should be converted into data for documentation and for further processing like statistics.

• Coding is done by means of code-systems the user tailors to match exactly the needs of his investigation. Setup of a code-system in a couple of minutes.

• Intuitive layouts. Additional 'in-window' infos making superfluous accessing the software's manual most of the time.

• Integrated demo video that comes pre-coded and may be used to test the software's processing feature. The demo video may be used also to exercise coding and to test user's self-made coding-system or the Observing-v's proposed coding-system.

• Key features:
> Terms to describe observations can be generated ad libitum
> Each term is laid down in a central depository called the Catalogue
> Terms can be edited, deleted and classified at any time
> Terms can be classified deliberately into a Code-System
> A general content-free Code-System is provided
> A Lexicon is available to exemplify and define Catalogue terms
> Camouflage of data to protect privacy

> A particular Template is used to characterise an Observation Task
> The number of Templates is unlimited
> Easy setup of a Template in a couple of minutes
> Templates can be copied and edited
> An observation Session, i.e. observing and coding, is started by calling a Template

> Catalogue, Lexicon and Templates are covered in a Project
> A Project may contain more than one template (observation task)
> Number of Projects a user can set up is unlimited
> Projects are saved and accessed discretely
> User's access to his projects is protected by user name und user password
> Number of users is unlimited - no additional fees

> Coding of observations with one mouse click
> Coding may be stopped and resumed at any time
> Local date and real time tagging of data
> Computation and graphics of descriptive statistics
> Filtering of data
> Data export
