Creating Innovations, Solutions
and Powering Commitment

Whenever a new BatSense device is used by the player, it needs to be first registered and then connected to the App. Without registering, a new device can’t be connected directly to the app.

Take the sleeve and place it onto the handle of your bat. Ensure the notch on the sleeve is aligned vertically to the centre of the bat face (flat side of the bat).

Once the sleeve is in place, take BatSense and place it into the sleeve (ensure the doublearrows on the device and the sleeve are matched while placing the device)

Use the key and turn the sensor clockwise until you hear a click which confirms the device is placed firmly into the sleeve and the user can start playing.

To turn on, simply click once.

To turn off, press once and then continually press and hold the button on for 4 seconds.

CAUTION: When the session is over or when the BatSense is not being used, it is recommended to switch it off, as otherwise, the idle battery will start becoming low on charge. Repeating these mistakes will decrease and/or damage the battery’s overall shelf-life.

Click on the BatSense icon placed on the top left-hand corner of the Home Page. Available list of BatSense devices will appear which are ready to connect. Click on the device you choose to connect with and proceed to set up.

Keep in mind to ensure the Bluetooth and Internet is always turned on before attempting to connect with BatSense.

BatSense can be added in two ways:

1. From Connection Page

Click on BatSense icon on the top left-hand side in the Home Screen. Here, list of available devices which are previously registered will appear. To add new device, click on BatSense icon on the top right-hand side. New device will get registered and then you can proceed to connect the new BatSense.

2. From Profile Page

Click on Profile in the Home Screen. Click on Settings. Select BatSense and ADD BATSENSE. Register the new device and proceed to connect.

BatSense might not be getting connected with app for the following reasons:

1.BatSense is already connected to another device.
2.Bluetooth is rejecting the pairing request.
3.BatSense device is out of range (30 meters is the range limit)

Click on BatSense icon on the top left-hand side in the Home Screen. Here, list of available devices which are previously registered will appear. To add new device, click on BatSense icon on the top right-hand side. New device will get registered and then you can proceed to connect the new BatSense.

2. From Profile Page

Click on Profile in the Home Screen. Click on Settings. Select BatSense and ADD BATSENSE. Register the new device and proceed to connect.

You can try the below mentioned steps to solve this issue. Very simple and easy to perform.

Bluetooth Pathways Blocked

Check your Bluetooth Page on the Smartphone. If there are 8-10 devices already registered on your Bluetooth Page, it might be potentially blocking the pathway for the BatSense device to get connected with the phone. It might make the BatSense invisible to the app. You can try unpairing the needless devices and try connecting again.

Reset the Software on BatSense Device

You can do this by fast-pressing the button on BatSense four times, twice. Press 4 times, allow 1 second gap and then press 4 times again.

Unregister and Re-register

Try unregistering the BatSense device, clear the Bluetooth pathways and register the device once again. Try connecting now, it should work.

Kill the App and Try Again

Sometimes, there might be firmware glitches within the app software, you can try killing the app and opening it again on the phone. Try connecting now.

You need to be connected to BatSense to rename it. Click on BatSense Icon on the home screen. Click on the Device you want to change the name of. Click Edit

Calibration is the process of helping motion sensors placed inside to gauge the direction in which the batsman is batting. This is to ensure the wagon wheel plotting is accurate and the bat swing is measured correctly to help give the right parameters.

Calibration is also required to help orient the BatSense device with the 3-Dimensional (3D) ranges it will be dealing with so that BatSense understands the difference between a Bowler’s end and a Batsman’s end.

If this is the first time the BatSense is being connected to the app, as soon as the device is connected, the app will automatically prompt the pop up and ask you to calibrate.

Follow the three steps as guided by the computer fed voice.

Step 1: Please swing the bat in the form of 8’s in the air.
Step 2: Please place the bat facing down with the handle facing the wicketkeeper and the stumps.
Step 3: Please place the bat facing down with the handle facing the bowler and the stumps.

Calibration is successful.

1. When using the device for the first time.
2. When using the device on a new pitch with different ends.

Go to Profile, click on Settings. Choose BATSENSE from the available options. Choose to ReCalibrate

USB Cable is provided as part of the package while purchasing a new BatSense device. You can unpin the hook on the BatSense device and plug in the cable along with the other end being inserted into an adaptor or USB Port whichever is available.

This might be because the battery in the BatSense has drained down completely and is out of charge. At no other point will be the BatSense fail to switch on. We recommend you to always maintain a healthy battery level (more than 80%) at all times, especially before going out to bat.

Battery Level is indicated with the following colours which appear on the sensor

Green: Battery is more than 80%
Amber (Yellow): Battery is between 20% to 80%
Red: Battery is below 20%

Status Indication

Blue: This light appears on the BatSense device when it gets connected to the App. White: White light appears when the device is on but is not connected to any phone.

Colour Indication on BatSense while starting a Live Session

In-built feature that helps you to capture videos of you batting on your smartphone and automatically saves it in the app for viewing anytime.

Auto-Trim: Another important feature is the auto-trim facility that is enabled in the app, which means only 3-4 seconds prior to the shot and 3-4 seconds after the shot is played, is captured. Unnecessary pauses and interval between shots is automatically edited out disposed by the app. For every shot, only the 7-8 seconds of batting video is captured, nothing else.

Slow-motion: This feature is also available which can be immensely helpful in detail analysis and correction of batting techniques.

Comparison of Shots: Any two shots across any session, day or month can also be compared. Slow motion is also available while comparing the two shots.

You can only compare shots which have been captured using Smart Video. If you have recorded a session without turning on the Smart Video, you will not be able to compare those shots.

To compare,

Calendar > Date of Session > Session > Click on Shot that you want to compare.
Click on the three dots on the top right-hand corner and click on Compare.
Then click on the video you want to compare.

Automatic:

Instructing the app to detect the shots automatically and trim the videos accordingly. Shots will be captured when played, without any manual intervention. Auto-trim facility allows the shots to be clipped within 8 seconds. This means that the time between each shot and extra footage is omitted and only the shot is captured for each ball. To view the captured shots, player can view after the session is ended by going to the Calendar. Or even use Video Gallery option available on the Smart Video screen at the bottom.

Manual:

Here, the shots are captured for the entire session without any intervention by the app. If a players wishes to stop, they will have to do it themselves. Auto-trim feature is not available. This option is usually preferred by players when they want shots of themselves from different viewing angles within the same session. They can change the camera position with each ball. With this option turned on, the player or their accomplice need to start and stop the video after each shot.

This option gives flexibility of viewing their technique from different vantage points within the same session but involves more effort and possibly more hands. In this option, there will be only Videos available and no Parameters and 3D Bat Paths. They can be viewed only after the session is ended, by going to the session played from the Calendar screen.

Once connected, click on Smart Video in the home screen. There is no other way to start a smart video session.

Click on Smart Video, select Video placed at the bottom-left of the screen. Now, click on Video icon placed on the top right-hand corner next to three dots. This will list you all the video shots recorded regardless of session, day etc.

Click on Calendar, select the Day on which session is played. Select session and go inside to find the list of shots. Video thumbnail is listed against shots which are captured using Smart Video. Click on the video to view. To view more videos here, click on the Video icon placed on the top right-hand corner next to three dots.

Click on the video you want to play, now click on SLO-MO on the bottom left corner. Here, options of various speeds will appear. Select among the four available options to view in different slow-mo speeds.

While comparing shots, click on SLO-MO icon placed to the left of PLAY button. List will drop down to show different frame rates. Choose one and compare shots with enough time to notice even minute details.

Since Match Mode is a feature that uses Smartphone only to start and end session while being disconnected from the phone for the entire session, no video is captured.

Each shot is trimmed to a maximum of 8 seconds in total. This includes the frames which capture the shot played and a few seconds before and after the shot is played.

Go to Profile. Click on Settings. Choose Camera section. Select which Camera side you want to use.

Smart Videos are captured and stored in the phone’s internal memory. They are not sent to cloud. This means that even if you login to your account from a different phone, videos will not be available for shots which were captured using Smart Video

Since the videos are stored in the internal storage of the phone and because they are not sent to the cloud, Smart Video will not be available for viewing in any other device. Even when the same account is logged in from another phone, Smart Video will be available ONLY in the source phone in which the video was captured for the first time.

Go to the Smart Video Shot you want to share and click on the Ellipses icon (three dots) placed at the top of the screen. You can proceed to share through any available medium including Mail, Social Media etc.

Match Mode refers to a mode where the Player doesn’t have to carry the smartphone with them to the pitch. All the shots played during the session is captured and stored by the BatSense in the device locally.

Smartphone is required to only Turn ON/OFF match mode. All the captured data is then transferred to the app manually by the player by using the Sync button that is prompted automatically when Match Mode is turned off.

Once the Match Mode is turned on, BatSense gets disconnected from the app to help conserve its battery while the shots are captured and stored in the device locally. After turning off the match mode, syncing of the shots can be done manually which will transfer the captured data to the app. Match Mode data can then be accessed through the Calendar available on the home page.

When to Use Match Mode: Match Mode can be used during Live Matches and Sessions where a player doesn’t have to carry the smartphone along with them to the pitch.

BatSense should be placed on the Bat and connected to SmartCricket.com app. Once connected, Match Mode can be turned on by clicking the icon in the Home Screen.

The player can now step on to the ground and leave the phone behind.

Once the session is complete, the player can re-connect the BatSense with the app and sync their session data.

To turn off Match Mode, player has to follow the below steps.

1. Click on the BatSense (this is done to switch on the Bluetooth allowing BatSense to connect with smartphone)
2. Go to Connection Page, click on the connected device.
3. Pop up appears, click Turn Off.

Once the Match Mode is turned off, it will automatically show a toast message saying “shots data unsynced”. After this, please go to the Device Page and click on Manually Sync.

Similar to a recorded/played session, the player can view their Match Mode stats by accessing the Calendar on Home Screen and choosing the date and session played using Match Mode.

Phone is only required to Turn ON/OFF the Match Mode. During the Match Mode, the BatSense is disconnected from the phone to conserve its battery while the shots are getting captured and stored in the device locally.

After Match Mode is turned ON, BatSense gets disconnected from the app to help save its battery to capture and store the shots being played by the player. Phone is away from the BatSense and also disconnected through the entire passage of Live Action. Therefore, Smart Video feature is not available for shots played during Match Mode.

Kindly try to avoid playing Shadow Shots. Avoid returning balls using bat as well. These things will get counted as actual shots and might tamper the accuracy of the dataset. We understand that shadow shots are an instinctive thing and that they are hard to be avoided. And we have taken this into consideration to come up with filters to tag these shots as SPURIOUS. So, we do have a mechanism to ignore these shots but sometimes when a player uses a proper backlift to play a Shadow Shot, the technology is not equipped to discern the difference and may capture these as real shots. Therefore, to the extent that is possible, kindly avoid playing Shadow Shots during the course of the innings.

Additionally, many players have habit of returning the balls back to the bowler using the Bat while playing in Nets. The app is taught to avoid counting these as real shots too, but on rare few occasions, these are also captured as shots. Therefore, players are requested to use anything but the bat to return balls. They can use their hands, feet etc.

Colour Indication on BatSense during Match Mode

600 balls is the capped limit of maximum balls that can be played during Match Mode. Additionally, when used continuously, the Battery can last a maximum of 6 hours.
