Whether you're a running club which handles small running races or a professional timer who handles medium to large size events, we have a timing solution for you. Many running clubs conduct races that have less than 500 competitors yet face the nightmare of recording race times using manual or semi-manual methods. The MKIII Dual Antenna System has been designed for the smaller races that cannot afford the cost of buying a expensive chip timing gear or the high costs associated with a professional timing company. Timing with the MKIII can be performed by only one person in stress free conditions knowing that all competitors times will be recorded automatically. Furthermore, the results are available immediately for scrutiny. For professional timing companies who time medium to large size events, our High Density Digital (HDD) Chip Timing System is a perfect timing solution for your starting line or when you have a large number of runners crossing a timing point at one time. The HDD system uses special digital circuitry with 16 stand alone readers on one PCB board to avoid issues with tag-collision when there is a high density of athletes on the timing mats. Up to 300 individual transponder codes can be read per second from the reader array making it virtually impossible to avoid detection when crossing the mat. The HDD System was a great success at the 2008 Melbourne Marathon on October 12, 2008 and proved that the system can step up to the biggest races in the world. New for 2010 is the Ultra System that takes chip timing to the next level. The new system uses the worlds best reader and antennas combined with the marvel of the Battery Assisted Passive (BAP) tag to package a remarkable system for running. In recent times, the disposable transponder has gained popularity because of the ease in distribution at major running events. The tags can be printed on and encoded (tag code burnt in) by an off-the-shelf thermal printer and then stuck onto the back of the existing race number bib. There are no instructions to follow on how to fit your transponder. And after the race, there are no queues nor follow up emails trying to get back transponders. The system has been tested thoroughly at the end of 2009 and was used recently at the prestigous 2009 Melbourne Marathon.
