OSV-STAR / Scan'O'Vision STAR camera
Version 2.0 3434.505.02 Page 17
4 OPTIONS
4.1 Internal battery
A battery (option 3434.980) can be installed inside the camera. This battery allows the camera to
continue to work up to one hour in case of power failure; so it is a good way to use with a laptop
without need of UPS. Please refer to chapter
2.1 to mount this battery in the camera.
When the camera is working on his internal battery and the battery is low, a “bip” sound is emitted
by the camera and the OSV7.exe software; when the battery is very low, the camera is
automatically switched off.
4.2 GPS
The GPS receiver option (Global Positioning System) allows a very precise synchronization of the
Scan'O'Vision
with the UTC time (Universal Time Coordinated) or GMT. This is especially
useful for remote timing positions
(intermediates, start times, etc…) unable to be connected directly
(e.g. start time passed by radio or file transmission). In fact, if the other timing devices are also
synchronized by GPS, the results will be just as precise as if only one Scan'O'Vision
had
done the time measuring entirely.
The GPS option contains the GPS receiver (installed in the Scan'O'Vision ) and a water-
resistant antenna with magnetic fixation and 5 metres of cable.
Remark:

Normally, in order to obtain a good GPS signal reception, the antenna must
be installed outside of the building.
Other antenna models are available on the market; in order for them to be compatible with the
Scan'O'Vision
they must have a SMB connector and must support a 5V power supply.
4.3 Optic fibre connection
If the distance between the camera and the computer is more than 90 metres, a network link by
optic fibre is necessary. In this case two converters (copper cable - optic fibre) must be installed,
one close to the computer and the other close to the camera. According to the type of converter
and optic fibre, distances of more than 500m are possible.
These converters and optic fibre cable can be bought in specialised shops or can be specially
ordered from Swiss Timing.
4.4 WiFi
With this option, the camera can transmit the image wirelessly to a suitable computer. For this, the
Ethernet cable must not be connected and the two WiFi antennas must be screwed on the rear on
the camera (see point 23 of chapter
1.1.3 ).
4.5 Working on external battery
The camera can work with a 12V DC battery (a car battery for example) instead the AC/DC power
adapter delivered. In this case, please use the optional cable 3330.618 to connect the camera to
the external battery.
