Caution and safety precautions
Never bypass a power cord ground lead by breaking off the ground pin, or by using inappropriate extension
cords or adapters.
Never plug a power cord into the AC power source until you have made sure that all installation, cabling and
power levels, are proper, and that the applicable procedures in this manual have been followed.
Protect the equipment against splashing, rain and excessive sun rays.
Never use the device if it is damaged or insecure.
Verify the selection of the power distribution.
Verify that the voltage quoted on the rating plate is the same as your voltage. Connect the appliance only to
power sockets with protective earth. The use of incorrect connection voids warranty.
This program may be modified at any time without prior notification.
Do not open the case; there is nothing that needs servicing inside it. Nevertheless, if the case must be
opened, you must call for some qualified personnel. The power supply cable must be disconnected before
opening the case.
During the transport of all Swiss Timing equipment delivered with a reusable carry case, the said case should
be used at all times. This is imperative to limit the damage, such as shocks or vibration that can be caused to
the units during transport.
The same cases should also be used when returning equipment to Swiss Timing for repair. Swiss Timing
reserves the right to refuse all guarantees if this condition is not fulfilled.
If the installation includes a horn, be sure to maintain a sufficient security distance from the public.

Version 1.0 3503.502.02 Page 1
1 INTRODUCTION
With its patented technology, the OMEGA Scan'O'Vision MYRIA camera lets you align the camera
very easily on any finish line using a video image.
This manual explains the general principles of the OMEGA Scan'O'Vision MYRIA camera (OSV
MYRIA), its installation, its working and its connections. It also contains information to install the
software and driver on your computer and specific software function for this camera. The
complete use of the software is described in the manual 3434.501.
A 10x (MYRIA 10) or 16x (MYRIA 16) optical zoom lens is integrated in the camera housing. It is
fully remote controlled (zoom, iris and focus). It allows setting the camera in almost any location
and having a perfect image framing.
OSV MYRIA camera is weather proof. Its temperature sensor will automatically control the internal
fan.

1.2 Definitions
The camera is typically supplied with a support permitting the setting of its position according to 4
axes, here are the definitions used in this manual:
Translation
Horizontal displacement, perpendicular to the finish line.
Pan
Rotation in the horizontal plane.
Tilt
Rotation in the vertical plane, in the axis of the finish line.
Swivel
Rotation in the vertical plane, perpendicular to the finish line (to have the
sensor "vertical" in the plane of the finish line).

2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Installation of the camera
The photo finish camera must be installed exactly on a virtual extension of the finish
line and the sensor must be vertically perpendicular to this line.
The inclination of the camera is important for the ease of judgment. In general, a vertical
inclination of 8oto 10ois used for the rowing and the canoeing, and of 10oto 20o(in relation to the
middle of the finish line) for the cycling, the horse-racings and of greyhound. For athletics, an
angle of 25oto 30ois recommended in relation to the farthest lane in order to prevent the
competitors in the foreground masking another.
Centre the tripod on the extension of the finish line. If it is equipped with a spirit level,
align the bubble precisely in the middle of the reference mark. Then slowly tighten all
screws checking bubble does not move. For a better stability, spread the legs as far apart
as possible and do not raise the central extension tube:
On the tripod, first to fix the slide permitting the translation then the support permitting
the three way rotation. If required, move the tripod so that the translation movement can
be made perpendicularly (horizontally) to the finish line.
Fix the camera on the support (quick lock). Thereafter, to remove the camera, it is
sufficient to disassemble this quick lock (with security button). For more of details, please
refer to the manual for the support.

Page 4 3503.502.02 Version 1.0
The camera can also be fixed from top (for example to fix it under a roof); for that you should
invert the fixation plate with its screws between bottom and top:
2.2 Wiring the installation
Connect the delivered Start-Finish cable (3503.625) on the bottom of the camera on the I/O
connector. Connect the start device on the TUCHEL Start plug and the finish photocell on the
FINISH bananas. If you want to do manual recording of images, it is recommended to connect a
pushbutton (option 2872.003) on the FINISH bananas.
Connect the 10m network cable Ethernet Gigabit (9051.1315) between the Ethernet connector on
the camera and the PoE connector of the PoE injector (power supply). Connect the 2m network
cable Ethernet Gigabit (9051.1317) between the LAN connector of the PoE injector and the
computer.
Connect the power cord between the PoE injector and the mains; the camera will automatically
start up. To secure system availability during power disturbance, it is recommended to connect
the PoE connector on an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

OMEGA Scan'O'Vision MYRIA
Version 1.0 3503.502.02 Page 5
2.3 Power ON / Power OFF
As soon the camera is powered by the Ethernet cable (PoE), the camera will boot; it takes about
40 seconds to be in operation. There is no ON/OFF switch.
When the power is removed (Ethernet cable unplugged or PoE injector switched off), the camera
will turn off, losing its time base (synchronisation).
2.4 Indicators
On the rear panel, different LEDs indicate the state of the camera:
LED
Name [color]
Description
Inclinometer left [yellow]
If blinking: see from rear, the left side of the camera is too
high. The faster the LED blinks, the closer the sensor is to
vertical.*
WiFi status [blue]
ON: WiFi enabled.
Ethernet status [green]
Flashing when Ethernet activity.
General status [green]
ON: µC powered, initialization in progress or freeze.
Fast blinking (~5Hz): µC working, time based not sync.
Slow blinking (~1Hz): µC working, time base sync.
PoE status [green]
ON: AT type 2 compliant PSE detected.
Inclinometer Right [yellow]
If blinking: see from rear, the right side of the camera is too
high. The faster the LED blinks, the closer the sensor is to
vertical.*
*: sensor is vertical when and are switched ON.

\Documentation sub-directory. Following are some change related to MYRIA camera.
3.4.1 Information about cameraWith "Help", "About Hardware" menu, you can get a lot of
information about the camera; for example its inclination or the temperature inside the camera
(hottest point).
3.4.2 Test Window
With OSV MYRIA camera, when ready is set, it is automatically reset if a start pulse is received
(with OSV-STAR camera, Ready is independent of Start impulse).

3.4.4 Camera settings
White balance
To do the automatic white balance:
In Camera settings active the matrix view (
should be displayed).
Enable the horizontal references ( should be
displayed).
With the left mouse button, draw a rectangle
in the live image where white should be.
Click on the Auto-Adjust button.
Zoom in matrix
To change the location of one of the three zoom
square:
In Camera settings active the matrix view (
should be displayed).
Disable the horizontal references ( should be
displayed).
Click on one of the three zoom (at the right of
the matrix view) to select it.
Click in the matrix view to assign the center
location of the vertical position (horizontal
position is automatically fixed).
Choice of timing line in matrix
The vertical line (timing line) can be move by using < and > buttons. The | button will replace it in
the center. When the horizontal references are enabled ( is displayed), you can also do SHIFT-
right-click in the matrix image to place the timing line.
Active Link
Active Link+ is not available with MYRIA software. Instead you should:
Open the race or do Fast Open on both instances.
If the race is not "seen", wait until the start occurs - that should solve the problem.
When race is "seen" on both instances, press "Active link" button on main instance.
