Reply to "Setting up a redundant timing system?"

For a championships meet i will have three FinishLynx cameras and two IdentiLynx cameras setup on two redundant systems. I will typically have two FinishLynx cameras on the inside and one on the outside, as well as an IdentiLynx camera on each side. One of the inside FinishLynx cameras, the outside camera and an IdendiLynx camera are on one system and the other FinishLynx and IdentiLynx camera are on another system.

I use two remote start sensors. I usually have them configured to the same channel. This way, if one start sensor fails, the remaining sensor will still trigger both systems.

Obviously with more equipment, the system becomes very versatile, but it also is way more complex. Also with a one man show, a redundant setup can get a little tricky to operate. I can usually handle it, but I would be more comfortable with a second operator.
