What Is the FinishLynx Timing System?
FinishLynx is a state-of-the-art photo finish timing system used in the Olympics, NCAA championships, and elite road races worldwide. Unlike standard video cameras, FinishLynx uses a line-scan camera that captures thousands of images per second at the finish line. These images are then stitched together to create a time-stamped photo, allowing for precise race results down to the thousandth of a second.
