Abstract
A multimedia analysis system for capturing and comparing sports performances of a player is provided. The system includes at least one video camera for acquiring a plurality of sets of video data of player performances, with the location of the at least one video camera being substantially the same when acquiring each set of video data. The system also includes at least one storage device for storing the plurality of sets of video data, at least one processor for mixing at least two of the sets of video data, and at least one display device for displaying the at least two sets of mixed data. The processor substantially synchronizes and superimposes the at least two sets of video data to form an aggregate set of video data. A launch monitor may also be included for acquiring a plurality of sets of flight data of objects hit by the player.
