2020v1 Argus Quick Start

2.3.1 Live Camera Preview
Here is where you can see the live camera preview. For previous users of TimeTronics Macfinish
software, this is similar to the Window
→
Preview function. You will use this view before the
competition to make final checks as to the alignment of your camera and lens zoom/focus.
During the competition you can use this function to check on the quality of the photo finish
picture and adjust if necessary, in relation to any changing lighting conditions.
2.3.2 Continuous Camera Recording
For those that have purchased the Argus Pro camera, you will have the option of a Continuous
Recording mode. This is whereby the Argus photo finish camera is continuously recording all
footage of the finish line for the past 20 minutes. Therefore, if you have an incident where you
lose Ethernet connection to the camera, have an athlete run under the photocells or forget to
set the photo finish system ready to accept an arrival, you can go back and import finish line
footage from up to 20 minutes ago into the race file you desire. When selecting the Continuous
recording mode, you will see the recording at the top of the software window.
