2. Operational Overview
1.
➔
Start
- Upon the firing of the starting pistol, the transmitter
worn by the Starter, sends a wireless signal to its receiver
(connected to the timing computer) to begin the race clock
within the Eagle Eye Pro software.
2.
➔
Capture -
As the runners approach the finish line, the
Operator 'clicks' the record button to capture video directly
to the computer's hard drive.
[Each frame is time-stamped to
1/1000th of a second, producing increments in excess of 100fps].
3.
➔
Bookmark
- A simple press of the space-bar during the record process allows the Operator
to "mark" the video as athletes cross the finish line, making the review process extremely fast
and efficient (recommended for events 400m and longer).
4.
➔
Review
– After the last runner crosses the finish line, the stop button is clicked and the
recorded race video is immediately available for review. The operator easily moves the video
(via the scrollbar, arrow keys or roller mouse) to bring the torso of each athlete to the finish line
and determine their finishing time.
5.
➔
Results
– Results can either be recorded manually or integrated with meet management
software (such as Hy-Tek Meet Manager, RaceberryJAM, Race Tab, etc.) A press of the keyboard
automatically assigns the finishing time to the appropriate athlete within Eagle Eye Pro. This file
is accepted into the management software for seamless integration.
