Showcase Panel

The Showcase Panel is a dedicated presentation environment inside Metrica Nexus. It is designed for coaches, analysts, and performance staff who need to present video analysis clearly and efficiently during team meetings, live sessions, or remote workflows. Showcase opens in a separate window and allows you to control playback, navigate through clips, draw temporary visualizations, and customize your interface for touchscreens, second screens, or large-format displays.

This article explains how to access the Showcase Panel, how to load your clips, how to use its visualization tools, and how to configure presentation settings to match your workflow.

Accessing the Showcase Panel

You can open Showcase from the Organizer using any of the following methods:

1. Right-click on a clip or folder

• Select a single clip, or

• Select a folder containing multiple clips

• Right-click → Play in Showcase Panel

Multiple clip selection is not supported.
If you open Showcase from a single clip, Nexus loads that clip directly.
If you open Showcase from a folder, Nexus loads the entire folder and displays the first clip unless a specific clip was selected inside that folder.

2. From the top menu

Go to the menu bar → Showcase → Open Showcase Panel

3. Keyboard shortcut

• Mac: Command + P

• Windows: Control + P

Showcase Panel Interface

When Showcase opens, you’ll see a clean, presentation-focused layout designed for live analysis.

Sidebar (Playlist)

Located on the left, the sidebar displays all clips in the selected route.
You can click or tap any clip to switch instantly. The active clip is always kept in view as you navigate.

Playback Controls

Located under the video canvas:

• Play / Pause

• Previous / Next clip

• Timeline bar with time tooltip while scrubbing

• Playback speed controller

  • Center: 1×

  • Left: 0.25×, 0.5×, 0.75×

• Hold left side → rewind

• Hold right side → fast-forward

• Swipe → navigate

• Pinch → zoom in/out

Visualization Tools in Showcase

The Showcase Panel includes a dedicated set of temporary telestration tools designed for live explanation. These tools appear below the video and include:

• Arrows

• Rings

• Shapes and zones

• Spotlights

• And any visualization you add to the Showcase presets

Temporary Annotations

Annotations drawn in Showcase are not saved to the file.
They exist only during the live session.

Undo and Clear

• Undo: removes the last drawing

• Clear: removes all visualizations

Customizing Visualization Presets

You can customize which visualizations appear in Showcase.

How to add presets

1. Open the Visualizations Panel in Nexus

2. Right-click any visualization

3. Select Add to Showcase Presets

4. Any visualization inside the Showcase folder will appear in the Showcase Panel

This lets you personalize Showcase with your preferred styles and tools.

Player Tracking Indicators

If your clip contains player-tracking data, selecting a tracked visualization will show red triangles indicating available player positions.

You can toggle these indicators using the Show Player Tracks setting in Showcase Settings.

Showcase Settings

Open the menu bar → Showcase → Showcase Settings

Here you’ll find several options to adapt Showcase to your workflow:

Visualize Controls

Choose where interface controls appear:

• Left

• Right

• Both sides

• None (clean full-screen mode)

This is useful when presenting directly on a large screen, or when a “copilot” controls playback from the main Nexus interface.

Touch Mode

• On: controls stay visible at all times

• Off: controls fade out after a few seconds of inactivity

Autoplay Media

Automatically advance to the next clip.
Showcase recognizes pauses inside clips and respects your playback behavior.

Clear Visualizations on Playback

• On: drawings disappear when playback begins

• Off: drawings remain visible during playback

Use Cases

The Showcase Panel is ideal for:

• Team meetings and match reviews

• Live tactical presentations

• Pitch-side or dressing-room touchscreens

• Second-screen workflows

• Analyst-to-coach remote control (copilot mode)

• Large-screen or projector environments

Summary

The Showcase Panel gives you a powerful, flexible way to present your analysis in real time. With its dedicated window, touchscreen support, temporary visualizations, and customizable settings, Showcase helps you deliver clear tactical insights across any presentation setup.
