Step 1:
Install the Latest FinishLynx Software
NOTE:
IdentiLynx requires the latest version of FinishLynx.
a. Open FinishLynx on your computer – go to
and write down your FinishLynx Serial Number if you do
not already have it stored somewhere. Also, record the
serial numbers for any FinishLynx software plug-ins.
Step 2: Set Up the IdentiLynx Camera
a. Place the camera on the tripod, about chest high and in a safe
location. Aim it at the finish line facing in the direction of the
oncoming runners.
b. Plug the Power-over-Ethernet power supply into the power
source or UPS battery backup.
c. Connect the first Ethernet cable (10') from the FinishLynx PC or
Hub/Switch to the
In
port of the IdentiLynx power supply.
d. Connect the Ethernet cable (100') to the
IdentiLynx power supply.
e. Do not connect the other end of the second Ethernet cable to
the
RJ45
port on the back of the IdentiLynx camera until
FinishLynx is ready to boot the cameras.
NOTE:
The IdentiLynx camera gets Power-over-Ethernet (POE).
Step 3:
Boot Cameras
a. Open FinishLynx.
b. Power on the FinishLynx cameras first, before the
IdentiLynx camera.
c. Check that each regular FinishLynx camera has appeared
in the Hardware Control window in FinishLynx.
d. Once they have appeared, connect the Ethernet cable
from the
OUT
port on the power injector to the
port on the back of the IdentiLynx camera.
Step 4:
Align the IdentiLynx Camera
The IdentiLynx camera is a full-frame video camera, so the
image during alignment mode will show a normal two-
dimensional video in the Image Zone (see right).
a. Have someone stand on the finish line to determine the
focus point.
b. Select the IdentiLynx camera in the Hardware Control
window and click on the
IdentiLynx camera into Alignment mode.
c. Once your line of sight is correct, use the
and
Auto Focus
function in the FinishLynx screen to
adjust the camera until you have desired image.

cameras.
