Computerization/Automation
This section not only has items that will automate your meets but gives info on each type of device.
- Laptops: we do not sell laptops (unless bought with a lynx system) since they change too often. Try to avoid using a school laptop if you have to logon to a domain when you power up. It makes it harder to network 2 laptops (one for timing, one for results).
- Networking: Its best to get a small wifi router to connect your timing and results laptops. You can use the wifi if you want them apart from each other but still exchanging data. This is useful for having a seeding station at the clerk, or isolating the timing people from the results people. The wifi can also be used to add a wireless serial port for a clock or wind gauge.
- Do NOT connect your timing camera by wifi unless it is designed for it. They transmit a lot of data and can overwhelm a wifi network. Lynx does have wireless options designed for thier cameras but nothing beats a cable for reliability.
- Serial ports are needed to connect clocks and wind gauges to Finishlynx. Wireless versions require a wifi router on the same SSID (configure the serial port to the router's SSID). SerialLynx requires the Nework Com plugin from Lynx. Others come with their own com port emulation drivers.
- Display clocks - all clocks in this section can be interfaced to a serial port (for finishlynx). Electronumerics clocks must have the RD (remote data) option installed when you buy them.
Ideally, a small meet will have a Lynx camera, with cable connecttion to a router. The timing computer also connects by cable to this router. Cables can be up to 300ft. long. Disable any wifi on the timing computer if its not being used, it may prevent Finishlynx from finding the camera. Share the Lynx folder on this computer allowing guests to connect and change files. You may have to enable the guest account in the Users control panel.
The database computer can be either wired or use the routers wifi. This computer runs the database program (Hy-Tek meet manager, Easymeet, Lynxpad, etc..). This computer should be in the same workgroup as the timing laptop . See the system control panel for naming the workgroups. If your router is using DHCP (most are on by default), it will assign IP addresses to the laptops and camera. Otherwise, be sure they all have the same 3rd number (192.168.#.#). The fourth # of the IP address must be different on each device or you'll get an IP conflict message popup on screen. This is only a concern really if you add a serial wireless device since you usually configure it with a static IP address and SSID to match your router. Make it a high number under 254 (like 192.168.#.250) and write it on the device with a marker.

FieldLynx Networked Field Event Software
FieldLynx is a FinishLynx-compatible software application for the scoring and administration of field events in athletics (track & field). The FieldLynx software connects with your meet management software and allows operators to access athlete listings, score events, and instantly upload results to any computers or scoreboards on the FinishLynx network. Data entry is simple and intuitive and the software easily converts marks between Metric and Imperial measurements. Share live event data across your network so you never have to retype athlete info and results again. FieldLynx offers the complete field results production in the palm of your hand. Adding FieldLynx to any fully automatic timing network will enhance the speed, efficiency and quality of your athletics field events. The FieldLynx software allows users to interface seamlessly with devices and applications across the venue, including LaserLynx EDM units, scoreboards, wind gauges, and most track and field database applications. With FieldLynx, field event results can be entered directly to a Windows-based mobile device and shared instantly with scoreboards, officials, or announcers throughout the venue.
Build a Wired or Wireless Results NetworkMany netbooks and mobile devices can communicate wirelessly on an AirLynx wireless network. FieldLynx devices can also interface with a range of devices simultaneously through a single serial port by connecting to a SeriaLynx unit. When combined with SeriaLynx, FieldLynx mobile devices can connect with LaserLynx distance measurement devices, wind gauges, and compatible scoreboards and displays. SeriaLynx devices can even be combined with AirLynx so devices can connect and share data wirelessly. There is no more struggling to read handwritten notes on soggy paper or re-typing athlete data multiple times during an event. Use FieldLynx to import, export, and share event data effortlessly using .lff files. Connect officials, timers, and event administrators with secure event data by building a powerful FinishLynx results network at your venue.

VeriLynx Video Camera
Under World Athletics Technical Rule 30.1.1, horizontal jump take-off failures are re-defined to include any breaking of the vertical plane of the take-off line. Rule 29.5 strongly encourages judges to use video or other technology to assist the decision process. VeriLynx cameras, along with special configuration of the FinishLynx software, can be used for this purpose. The VeriLynx camera is an Ethernet-based digital video camera that captures full-frame video for field event verification. VeriLynx also has the option of exporting a JPEG of each attempt automatically when marking a frame, and keeping multiple VeriLynx image panes synchronized (time tracking) to view multiple angles.

ResulTV
THIS IS SOFTWARE ONLY. SCOREBOARD SHOWN NOT INCLUDED. ResulTV is a digital display and graphic generation program that produces live results from FinishLynx timing systems. The Windows-based software allows FinishLynx operators to produce scalable results graphics for output on any compatible graphic displays and scoreboards. The ResulTV software can even produce high-quality dynamic images suitable for live broadcast television or internet video streams. ResulTV can display any FinishLynx data (including athlete names, times, ID numbers, lane assignments, and affiliation). The software is also compatible with FieldLynx, ReacTime, and many 3rd-party meet management programs, which allows users to output start lists, athlete splits, running times, and live results. ResulTV is designed to be an operator-free program that displays results data dynamically by using pre-configured layouts. But at more complex events, it’s also possible to have several ResulTV layouts active simultaneously so operators can toggle between layouts with a simple click. This ability for customization means that operators can produce sophisticated, event-branded graphics for even the most complex sporting events. That’s why ResulTV has been trusted at the highest levels of competition, including the USATF National Championships and US Olympic Trials.
Also great for having a spare laptop feed results to an announcer or VIP tent TV's. Check your school's A/V dept for a scan converter if needed or call or email us and we can add it here. Broadcast version removes the Lynx logo on-screen. North American sales only, please contact Lynx for overseas sales.
