The idea of photo-finish is, as the name indicates, to take
pictures of the finish line when an athlete or object arrives.
Contrary to ordinary ‘still’ pictures taken with your camera,
the MacFinish system records only the finish line. With a
range from 100 to 9300 lines per second, the
MacFinish 2HS 500 sends the resulting picture to the
MacFinish PC. This allows the operator to read times with
an accuracy of up to 0.5 thousandth of a second.
