Has the OMEGA Timing background banner been mentioned?

This "banner-box" will be used often if swiss-timing is handling dataservice and timing.

Mostly, there is only their logo shown, but on lager events, also the competition logo...

For example here a picture from last years European Championships:


Or this one from the European Indoors in 2011:


And finaly one from the Bejing Olympics:


I was thinking more than once about building such a unit by myself - but it remains in "planing" ;-)

We used to use these in the 70's with the OPS2 cameras. They were called "alignment drums"

OK, didn't know , that this drums have been used for alignment process.
So, if the drum turns 10 times a second, there should be 10 images on a peace of film covering 1 second...

The box at the finish line is no longer a drum. It is called a LogoScan, and it's an array of LEDs that display 80 pixel images that are loaded into it over an RS-422 connection. We still have, and use, the old OID2 "drum" for focusing our cameras.

Ah - I was wondering, why this box is that tiny...

And - about your Picture (and the ones, omega released at the Olympics): Why is there no timeline at the pictures? Is this cut of by default?

Hi Dirk,
There is an option in the export settings to suppress the time scale. In the case of my picture, it can be shown in an export of the entire screen (older version of software).
