Collaborative Coding

Collaborative Coding lets a second analyst over-code and quality-assure the data in real time, on a separate computer, without interrupting the main coder.

Set up the main coding computer

First, make sure the main coding computer is receiving the collaborative coding feed.

1. In the coding screen, open the View menu and select Incoming Data Feeds.
2. Select Manage Feeds and check that Collaborative Coding is ticked.

Set up the collaborative coding computer

1. Set up the match the same way you would to code it, but choose Collaborative and the innings (for example, Collaborative – Innings 1).
2. The Collaborative Coding Controls screen appears. Test the connections, check the boxes are ticked, and choose the coding options you want to code.
3. When you're ready, select Start Coding.

Collaborative coding workflow

Once you select Start Coding, the video of each delivery the main coder has entered appears, and you can start your workflow.

Give the main coder a head start. Deliveries reach you after the main coder has entered them, not at the same moment, so let them get one or two balls ahead before you start.

For post-match collaborative coding, the video can come from AMS blob storage, as is done for some events. If the video isn't there, an error message tells you it can't be found.

Where to go next

• Coding Process: the standard coding requirements for every delivery.
• Incoming and Outgoing Feeds: setting up the data feeds into and out of Analyzer.
• Coding Standards: what each event means and when to use it.
