Core Elements

The building blocks of our unique tracking solution.

Choose Your Setup

The quality and coverage of BallJames output data is dependent on the quality of its video inputs. The product works guaranteed on our own BallJames PRO cameras, but might very well also get to high standards based on your own static analyst camera you have in-venue.

Data Delivery

Our data delivery is similar for all set-ups, and very quick and easy:
  • All standardized in FIFA EPTS format
  • Standard output file extension is .JSON
  • Real-time feeds are provided via live streaming API
  • Historical data via REST API or portal login

Coverage Levels

Depending on your demand and input quality, we can provide you with:
  • Standard package
  • 2D positional data per frame: x,y of players and referees, x,y,z of ball(s)
  • Fitness metrics: distances, speeds, intensity runs in various intervals
  • Quality metrics
  • Extended 3D package (beta)
  • 3D data: body orientation and gaze direction of players and referees
