Using Analytics and Player Together
Njord Analytics and Njord Player are designed to complement each other. When used together, you only import your log file once — everything else flows through automatically.
How it works
On the water
└─ Instruments log data
At the dock
└─ Upload log file to Njord Analytics
→ Races and legs detected automatically
→ Whole team can view and analyse data immediately
Before the debrief
└─ Open Njord Player → File → Download from Njord Analytics
→ Race structure and comments load automatically
→ Add video/photo files (aligned to the timeline automatically)
In the debrief
└─ Play back video alongside live data and map, all in sync
What carries over from Analytics to Player
When you use File → Download from Njord Analytics in Player, it pulls:
- Processed boat data
- Race and leg structure (start times, mark roundings)
- Comments and sail changes logged on the water
This is a snapshot — changes made in Analytics after the download are not reflected in Player automatically. Download again if needed.

Player without Analytics
You can use Player without an Analytics subscription by loading log files directly from disk. See Loading Data. Data loaded this way is not available in Analytics.
