FINISH LYNX TIMING GUIDE

Finish Lynx is a computerized digital photo finish timing system that has the ability to single-handedly time and photograph every competitor during a given race using fully automatic timing (FAT). Fully automatic timing is the contrary to hand timing races (eg., with a button timer or an ordinary stop-watch). Thus, reliability on hand-timers is eliminated and their man power can be used elsewhere in contribution to the meet. The Finish Lynx photo timing system is heavily utilized in athletic events around the world from the youth & high school level all the way up through the collegiate & world class level.

Due to its digital photography of finish line motion, all doubts, uncertainties, and disputes of finishing places are instantly resolved. With the capability to capture 1,000 sequential photographs per second, Finish Lynx photo timing is highly accurate in determining the place positioning of close races that would ordinarily be difficult to determine by human perception.

The Finish Lynx photo timing system also utilizes the ability to process wind gauge readings, the ability to maintain a running-clock on scoreboards and displays, and the ability to time each race to the nearest ten-thousandth of a second (0.0001) which serves as an innate tie-breaker for every race. Due to the brilliance of both Finish Lynx and Hy-Tek, results can be calculated and printed electronically within a minute after the completion of most races. Since the Finish Lynx timing system is completely computerized and digital, it serves as the most accurate and effective method of timing and determining the outcome of races today.
