To help you better
understand how the camera gets a picture of the finish on your screen we
have designed an animation of how a FinishLynx® image is assembled.
Click on the button below and move the animation window to one side of
the screen. An explanation of the image is provided below.
The animation on the Finish
Line side of the simulation shows 35 "images" of the
finishline shown one after another. You will notice that it looks like a
moving picture of competitors moving through the finish line. The
animation on the Monitor side shows these same "images"
placed one beside the other in a way that mimics how the FinishLynx®
software assembles the images. Each image represents a fractionally
later moment in time. Reading a time is simply a question of identifying
which "image" contains the moment when a competitor crossed
the line by placing the hairline there. Because the images are
time-indexed by the software, the competitor's time is instantly
displayed when the hairline is positioned. |
FinishLynx® is the world's
most popular and versatile digital photofinish and timing system.
