That means very tight race results can potentially be lost between the missing video frames. Meanwhile, line-scan photo-finish cameras usually capture at around 1,—2, frames per second, producing more clear and precise results images. Our own EtherLynx Vision PRO camera captures up to 2 0, frames per second —making it the most accurate sports timing camera in the world.

The speed and accuracy of line-scan photo-finish cameras simply cannot be matched by any type of RFID, photocells, or 2D video cameras on the market today. In fact, many sports governing bodies like the IAAF do not consider photocells or video timing systems to be valid FAT because they cannot perform zero-control gun tests to confirm their accuracy. A line-scan photo-finish image is comprised of a series of incredibly thin vertical image slices from the finish line and any object that is crossing it.

EtherLynx line-scan cameras capture these vertical images a thousand times per second or more. Each image slice is timestamped, then combined to create a long, highly precise photo-finish image. As more and more 1-pixel-wide vertical slices are captured and combined, the complete timestamped FinishLynx capture begins to take shape. Click on the image for a closer look. For instance, if it takes an athlete one full second for their body to cross the finish line, then it will take 1, of these thin vertical image slices to create their entire body on the photo-finish image.

EtherLynx cameras capture a photo-finish results images, which is immediately sent to the FinishLynx software for evaluation. Outside the stadium, road races have to be managed that may take in an entire city and even the area around it. Swiss Timing has long been committed to the design and implementation of exciting new technologies that facilitate the task of officials, increase the accuracy of the results, and satisfy the media and public desire for faster, more detailed result posting.

Track and field, with its incredible variety of events, is among the most challenging sports for timekeepers, scorers, and data handlers.
