Collectie: FinishLynx

FinishLynx photo finish, ReacTime false start detection and electronic distance measurement systems — World Athletics certified, used at the highest level of competition.

TIKTRA supplies the full FinishLynx range to athletics federations, university programmes, professional clubs and meet organisers across Europe. As the sports engineering arm of Rhine Projects International, we work with technical delegates and facility managers who cannot afford ambiguity in their results — the system has to capture, identify and ratify finishes the first time, every time. FinishLynx is the global standard for photo finish at World Athletics events, with installations at Olympic Games, World Championships and Diamond League venues.

The collection includes the Championship Elite and Championship Package photo finish systems, the Competition Elite system for federation venues, ReacTime false start detection in 6, 8 and 10-lane wired configurations, the ReacTime athlete training package, electronic start systems, the Ultrasonic Wind Gauge for legal wind readings, and LaserLynx for electronic distance measurement of throws and jumps. Together these cover every measurement requirement of a modern athletics meet.

FinishLynx is a project-grade purchase — camera positioning, lane line of sight, network architecture and operator training all matter. TIKTRA supports venue assessment, installation, software configuration and on-site training during your first competition. Lead times depend on the package; cameras are typically 4–8 weeks.

Common questions

• Is FinishLynx World Athletics certified? Yes — FinishLynx photo finish systems and the ReacTime false start detection system are approved for World Athletics competitions and meet the technical requirements for ratified results, including world records.
• What do I need beyond the camera itself? A complete photo finish setup typically includes the camera, capture computer with FinishLynx software, an electronic start system, a wind gauge for legal sprint readings, and a scoreboard or video display. TIKTRA helps scope the full bill of materials.
• Can ReacTime be added to an existing track without rebuilding? Yes. The wired ReacTime system installs into existing starting blocks and integrates with FinishLynx or third-party timing systems without civil works in most cases.
