Step 7: IdentiLynx Image Toolbar
a. Open a new Blank Event in FinishLynx.
b. Get a start for the system and have someone run across
the finish line as you capture (All Cameras).
c. Click the icons on the Image Toolbar to zoom in and
out of the image.
d. The Full Screen icon will show the full screen image.
e. The Cropping tools and Find Next Object are not
applicable to the IdentiLynx image.
f. In the IdentiLynx image, right-click, hold, and drag to draw
a small box. Choose Enhance from the menu when the
mouse is released. Click the Restore Image icon to bring
the image back to its original state.
g. Click on the Play icon and see the images change (you
should see the time advance to the left of the play icon).
Click it again to stop playback
h. Click on the Forward or Reverse icons to move one frame
at a time in either direction (you should see the time
advance with each frame).
i. Hitting the Reverse button at full-speed forward playback
goes to ½ speed playback. Hitting it again goes to ½
speed reverse playback, and again goes to full-speed
reverse. It works the same going forward in playback.
j. Clicking the Play button in slow or fast mode brings it to
full-speed, and clicking the Stop button will stop
playback.
k. The Play speeds aren’t displayed in the image toolbar. If
you hold Ctrl and click Forward or Backwards you’ll go
to the first or last frame. If you hold Shift and click Play,
the image playback will loop back to the beginning when
the end is reached.
l. Images can be printed from the Image Toolbar or
cropped and saved as a .jpg, similar to FinishLynx
images.
Step 8: Time Tracking With IdentiLynx
NOTE: The Red hash line does not appear on the IdentiLynx image unless you click on the image frame. Time cannot be read
from the IdentiLynx image.
a. Using the same Blank Event, explore the time tracking between the FinishLynx and IdentiLynx cameras.
b. Click on a competitor in the FinishLynx image and the IdentiLynx image will jump to that frame (time reference) in the
sequence.
c. Click the Play button for the IdentiLynx images and then click in the FinishLynx image. The IdentiLynx image will jump to
that location and continue to play from that point forward.
Step 9: Camera Care and Tips
The new IdentiLynx cameras are a different design from the older models. The Ethernet port in the back of the supports XLR to
RJ-45 connectors for weatherproof connection. Failure to use this connector may lead to water infiltration which could damage
the camera.
To learn how to install the connector on your Ethernet cable, go to: https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/ne8mx-b and find the
Assembly Instructions.
NOTE: When adding the IdentiLynx SR/HRS camera to your network, be sure to monitor Ethernet traffic and watch for
congestion. Add one camera at a time and increase the Resolution, or Frame Rate, in increments. We recommend the use of a
Gigabit Network Switch. Use the same methodology when adding a second IdentiLynx camera to your FinishLynx network.
From a results-production standpoint, it is rarely necessary to go over 10fps in Cross Country or Road Races.
