*If you have a lot of club shaft blur its because the exposure is too high. 

  • Lower "Exposure" = Less shaft blur but darker image. (Low exposure is also required to get the maximum FPS).
  • You can increase the "Gain" to increase brightness. However this will make the image a little grainy.
  • Make sure the aperture on the physical lens is all the way open, this will give you more room to lower the exposure. (see picture below)
  • You can also increase the "Gamma" to further brighten the image and reduce the exposure even more if needed.

This lens has three adjustments, from top to bottom:

  • Focus (adjusting towards the ∞ symbol will make objects further away in the background in focus)
  • Aperture (iris adjustment, will adjust how much light is able to pass through the lens, a more closed aperture will result in a sharper image).
  • Zoom (adjusts the zoom of the lens wide or telephoto).

Launch monitor integration isn't working

  1. If the entire launch monitor section is 'Grayed Out', you most likely have the Basic version of Swing Catalyst. Only the "Pro" version supports launch monitor integration.
  2. Please check launch monitor is enabled, use as trigger is checked and the correct launch monitor is selected. When the "(not connected)" goes away Swing Catalyst is connected to your launch monitor.
  3. If you are not able to connect, please see: https://support.swingcatalyst.com/hc/en-us/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=launch+monitor & find a corresponding setup article / guide; certain launch monitors need to be configured to work with Swing Catalyst.
  4. If you are still having problems feel free to submit a request through our help center: https://support.swingcatalyst.com/hc/en-us

 

Remote Support

Step 1: Open Swing Catalyst and click the "?" button in the bottom left corner.

Step 2: Click "Start Remote Support" button. This will open a small program called Swing Catalyst Remote Support.

Step 3: As long as you're connected to the internet you should get an ID number, please send this to your support agent.
