VeriLynx V30 Video Camera

Under World Athletics Technical Rule 30.1.1, horizontal jump take-off failures are re-defined to include any breaking of the vertical plane of the take-off line. Rule 29.5 strongly encourages judges to use video or other technology to assist the decision process. VeriLynx cameras, along with special configuration of the FinishLynx software, can be used for this purpose. The VeriLynx V30 camera captures up to 1280 x 960 pixels at 30 fps. The camera includes an auto-iris motorized lens so the zoom and focus can be adjusted remotely within the FinishLynx software. It also has a sturdy housing that protects the lens and rear connections from moisture and damage. Set up the VeriLynx camera at your next field event and start capturing high-definition, time-stamped videos to verify each attempt.

FinishLynx software version 12.00 and later includes the VeriLynx profile. This profile is customized to support the use of VeriLynx cameras for video review of field events, such as the verification of take-off fouls in the Long or Triple Jump events. Align the VeriLynx camera with the take-off board, load the field event start list, capture, verify, and timestamp every attempt. VeriLynx will save all images to disk in real-time (no image loss) and allow you to quickly review every attempt for every athlete, providing proof in case of a foul.

VeriLynx also has the option of exporting a JPEG of each attempt automatically when marking a frame, and keeping multiple VeriLynx image panes synchronized (time tracking) to view multiple angles.
