    Manual Photo Finish OPTIc2.NET Connection of two cameras You can connect up to two cameras with the OPTIc2NET software at one PC. This is for some sports necessary, since they have two different finish lines (e.g. Indoor Track and Field, Horse Racing with Sand and Gras Track, Track Cycling for Sprint and Pursuit).

  • Page 16: Camera Position

    Manual Photo Finish OPTIc2.NET Camera Position The camera of the photo finish system must be set exactly on a straight line with the finish line. Depending on the sport discipline it needs a different angle to the finish line (5.1 Lens Angle).

  • Page 17: Lens Angle

    Manual Photo Finish OPTIc2.NET Lens Angle The lens angle is the recording angle of the camera lens in vertical direction. To select the right lens for the camera the lens angle is most important. A zoom lens has a variable lens angle, a fix lens has not.

  • Page 18: Focusing The Camera
