Rowing – Canoe – Kayak – Silver Solution

The Rowing and Paddling Silver Solution is a mid-level solution from Lynx that contains everything you need to capture clear and accurate time-stamped finish line images. The Silver Solution includes the EtherLynx Vision PRO photo-finish camera with Extended Zoom and a remote zoom lens. It not only captures 1,000 frames per second, but also boasts a vertical image resolution of 2,048 pixels–meaning no finish line is too wide to be covered. The Vision PRO also includes EasyAlign video alignment, an on-board level, LuxBoost low-light capture mode, and Electronic Filter Control for excellent flexibility in difficult light conditions.

The Silver Solution also includes the RadioLynx wireless start system. RadioLynx is extremely popular among rowing timers because it allows an accurate start signal to be sent wirelessly to a finish line located up to 5 km away. The Silver Solution is for rowing, canoe, kayak, and dragon boat races. It combines a powerful timing camera, wireless start system, and everything else you need to produce fast and accurate results at any size competition.

The Silver Solution is a great choice for most organizations because it offers the features of a professional system at a very reasonable price. The one component that truly elevates it above the Bronze Solution is the Vision PRO camera. It offers several upgrades over the standard Vision, including higher frame rates and vertical resolution, LuxBoost low-light capture mode, an on-board level, and Electronic Filter Control.

A second key addition to the Silver Solution is the RadioLynx wireless start system (and the corresponding software plug-in). Just as the Vision PRO adds a huge degree of flexibility for course and event variations, RadioLynx provides more freedom with start/finish line locations and accessories. The wireless start transmitter beams an accurate, real-time signal to the Internal RadioLynx receiver located up to 5 km away at the finish line. This feature can be especially useful when the start of the event takes place on a floating pontoon. Also, because standard rowing courses are 500, 1,000, or 2,000 meters in length, the extended range RadioLynx can easily span an entire course.

In addition to the high-resolution camera and wireless start system, the Silver Solution includes all the software, cables, and other features necessary to run the system out-of-the-box; all you need is a Windows-based computer to run FinishLynx software. Thanks to the program’s open-interface design, FinishLynx is also compatible with hardware and software from a long list of third-party manufacturers, including the popular Regatta Master management software. The Silver Solution includes a variety of powerful photo-finish features designed especially for rowing. There is also room for a number of upgrade or enhancement opportunities. As your needs change over time, you can add multiple cameras, scoreboards, split timing devices, GPS-synchronization, or higher capture speeds. The Silver Solution is an excellent long-term investment for any size club.
