How to Set Up a New Venue in PitchVision

This is a quick guide to setting up PitchVision at a new venue. The first time you use PitchVision at a new place, you need to tell it where it is. This vital step is simple and easy.

Most of the time it will be set up where you use it, but if you are in a new place you need to add a new venue.

It could be an indoor school, an outdoor net, or anywhere you can use the tools (we have seen it in diverse places like tennis courts and playgrounds). It doesn't matter the exact details of the location, but you do need to tell PitchVision where the sensors are.

So, open up your PVC app on your Windows PC and click on Setup, then Venues

From the Venue Setup window, click New.

Then type in the venue name. This can be anything you want.

Leave the Crease Mat Position box at 0.00

Before you enter the Pitch Mat Position details, measure the distance between the edge of the mat and the stumps with a tape measure:

This can be any distance you like, although we recommend the "standard" distance in the settings at 2.90m. This gives clearance if the batsman wants to step down the pitch.

If the distance is 2.90m you don't need to change the setting.

If it's anywhere else - for example right up to the stumps for yorker practice without a batsman - change the drop down menu to User Defined and enter the distance you measured (in metres) from the stumps.

Finally, measure the distance from the stumps to the Back Wall Mat, and the height of the mat from the floor. If you don't have a back wall you can still use PitchVision, just leaving this section blank.

Enter the distance to the stumps and the height of the mat in the last two sections:

Click on Save, then close the window with the "x" on the right.

The venue is set up.
