Optojump Next is usually sold in preconfigured KITS.
The most common kits are:

• Kit Optojump next 1 mt. single
• Kit Optojump next 5 meters
• Kit Optojump next 10 meters
• Kit Optojump next extra meter

(all with 1 cm. resolution)

The 1 mt. Basic Kit includes:

• 1 Optojump Next Transmitting Bar (TX) with integrated interface (1cm.)  
• 1 Optojump Next Receiving Bar (RX) with integrated interface (1cm.) 
• 1 Bag for OptoJump Next 
• 1 USB A+B Cable  
• 1 Optojump Next Adaptor
• 1 Webcam for Optojump Next with support  
• 1 Stand for webcam 
• 1 extension USB Cable       
• 1 Optojump Next Software  
• 1 USB Flash Drive with manuals, video, pdf and other material

The webcam, which takes up to 30 frames a second, makes it possible to film the athletes while they are doing tests. The images, automatically synchronized with the numerical data and graphics, will be saved in the database and will always be available for analysis or comparison.  Optojump supports up to two Webcams and the software supports only particular brands and models supplied by us (as the hardware and drivers must have particular features).

Sure ! Purchasing the "Kit Upgrade" made up

• 1 Software Optojump Next OB
• 1 Serial Number for Activation
• 1 Professional Webcam
• 1 Stand for webcam
• 1 USB Flash Drive with manuals, video, pdf and other material

you can use previous version Bars (with some limitations like lower resolution, no bidimensiona systems, etc).

The Software (in the "OB -old bar- version") must be activated and registrated via internet with the supplied Serial Number.

• Complete re-design of the bars 
• Triplicated resolution (1 cm. compared with 3 cm. in the previous one) 
• No connection cables between the transmitting and receiving bars 
• Distance between the bars of up to 6 metres 
• Possibility of analysing a walk and complex movements, for example, a shuttle test
• Possibility of putting together a two-dimensional system 
• Rapid mounting thanks to the convenient connection stages 
• Video analysis with webcams (up to 2) synchronized with the events acquired and possibility of making comparisons between the different tests of one or more athletes without the need to export the data to other software supports, which anyway would not allow consultation of the image archive
• Transport made easy thanks to the new bags 
• Doubled autonomous use 
• Native USB 2.0 interface 
• Software completely rewritten in .Net and with technologies of the latest generation

Users of the previous version can however take advantage of the new software features (including video analysis) by buying the "Kit Upgrade" that includes software also compatible with the old bars, a tripod and a webcam.

Of course, but in this case perhaps it is better to buy the “Optojump Next Kit for extensions” which already includes the right adaptor and the trolley for multiple meters.

A "normal" desktop or notebook with Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Vista SP2 or Windows 7 OS is usually enough to  run Optojump Next software without problems. Please run Windows Update before the software setup.

Minumum and suggested requirements are:

 

You can even run the software on less powerful PCs (like netbooks) with some limitations: you don't see real-time video from webcam but you can save and see later the movie.

Optojump Next need Microsoft .NET Framework (automatically installed from our setup if not found on the pc)

The software is officially supported ONLY on Intel PC with native installations of Microsoft Windows (from Xp Sp3 to 8) and not in virtual environment.

Optojump Next software was developed on Windows Systems with the Microsoft .Net Framework. There is no native version for Apple OSX
It is possible to run Microsoft Windows in native mode (boot camp) or in virtualized environments (Vmware, Parallels, etc.) on modern Apple computers. Therefore, the answer is YES.

We have done some tests with OptoJump Next Software on a Apple Mac Book Pro (2011 machine with i7, 8Gb Ram, Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8).
The software runs very smoothly and without problems with a virtual machine hosted inside VMware Fusion 3.1.4 (Windows 7 Pro 64bit 1 core, 1.5GB di RAM).
We tested only 1 webcam (Logitech C920)  instead of two, due the lack of third Usb port.

However the software is officially supported ONLY on Intel PC with native installations of Microsoft Windows (from Xp Sp3 to 8) and not in virtual environment.
