Precision Timing Trusted on the World Stage
Lynx is the creator of FinishLynx photo-finish technology and a global leader in fully automatic timing systems, line-scan cameras, and athlete tracking solutions. Headquartered in Haverhill, Massachusetts, the privately held company has been advancing sports technology since its founding in 1992.
President and CTO Doug DeAngelis developed the original FinishLynx prototype while a graduate student at MIT. As a competitive runner, he recognized the need for more accurate and reliable race results, leading to the application of digital line-scan imaging to revolutionize photo-finish technology.
Lynx is now a part of Nevco Sports, a trusted leader in innovative technology solutions for athletic, recreation, and entertainment venues at every level. Together, we provide more integrated, end-to-end solutions—combining precision timing with advanced scoring and display technologies—while continuing to invest in innovation, service, and long-term success for our customers.
