| April 2008, MacFinish II USB |
|
The MacFinish II USB is the latest version of our famous MFII series. It’s a low Cost system with the MacFinish Interface close to the PC and fully battery powered. This version is limited to 1 camera and has standard 1MB on-board video memory, but is delivered with the “MacFinish virtual memory option” for longer image recordings. Optional upgrade to 2 MB or 4 MB on board video memory, to record races at speeds >1000l/s in the internal memory. The digital MacFinish box is connected to the PC with a USB-cable. The length of an USB cable is normally one meter and can be extended to maximum 15 meter. This is a limitation, but the camera cable can be up to 100m.
Advantages of this version:
• Low Cost system if the MacFinish-Interface box is close to the PC. The MacFinish II USB is therefore the ideal choice for any athletics club, small timing organisation or as lowcost backup system for the MacFinish II Ethernet camera.
• With the optional 2 or 4 MB memory upgrade you’re able to capture a full long distance race even when your operating system of your PC is crashing! After the restart of your computer you can easily readout the MacFinish camera memory.
• No serial ports are needed anymore for your PC, data to the Timing scoreboard goes over the USB cable! Link to Athletics Manager can be done over Ethernet

| April 2008,Wireless portable sound system for start |
|
Microphone & audio transmitter, low-cost or professional portable receiver
Even if you are not buying and using our professional FalseStart system with integrated sound amplification (see page 22), you could be interested in acquiring only a sound amplification system to make sure that all athletes can hear the starter correctly. Not only to listen to his voice (the start commands), but even more important, to hear the starting shot without delay.
Such a delay is caused by the fact that the speed of sound is relatively low (330 m/sec), so you want to make sure that all athletes in a sprint race have a FAIR start = hear the start shot immediately, without delay. For this purpose you can buy a starters microphone + wireless audio transmitter. This microphone can be a “tie clip type”, that can be easily clipped onto a shirt or tie, or the starter can use a headset type.
The voice a the speaker transfered from the microphone and audio transmitter can be playbacked WITHOUT DELAY through a low cost or porfessional portable receiver.

| April 2008, Video Identification |
|
Have you ever noticed problems with the registration of the finish order for a 800m or 1500m race, where 8 or more persons almost simultaneously finished? In the past we used videotapes or DVD recorder & player + TV’s. As the first photofinish manufacturer in the world, we made the full integration of a DIGITAL video recording system in a photofinish system! Of course we started with our professional MacFinish 7.x software, and made it even better.
Our system is already used during several national championship and international events.

| April 2008, MeetManager becomes Athletics Manager |
|
With the name MeetManager people sometimes thought that our MeetManager could be used for all sports to manage the meeting database but it's only available for athletic meetings. Therefor we have launced for our latest version a new name! Athletics Manager.
|
| April 2008, Wireless FieldTerminal |
|
In the past the communication between our Athletics Manager and our FieldTerminal, the device to collect field event information went over our succesfully implemented 12-pole cabling system. Now you can make a choice between a cabled system and our wireless FieldTerminal.
