NESTS works with Omega Electronics timekeeping equipment. We have an assortment of OSV HawkEye and OSV3 color cameras with Nikon lenses and reflex viewers ranging from wide-angle up through 300mm focal lengths. We also provide a fully automatic backup system using dual OEC4 photocells and OTR7 printing chronometers, something which "fly-by-night" timekeepers can't offer. In fact at a recent competition, the meet management desired to run the decathlon 100m dash in the reverse direction to take advantage of favorable wind conditions. They planned on using hand-timing, but we were able to set up a fully automatic timing system in 10 minutes! For competitions where close finishes are expected, we can provide a reverse-angle camera to judge competitors that are blocking each other.
In addition to our impressive timekeeping capabilities, we also offer an integrated data handling solution using Hy-Tek's Meet Manager for athletics and RunScore for cross-country and road races. After your entries are collected using an online entry declaration service such as DirectAthletics or mysportsresults.com EZ Meet Services we seed the events, print performance lists and field event sheets, and post the tentative start lists to our web site. Also during the course of the meet we provide results in real-time; you can view the start lists and results from any web browser. Use your iPhone, Blackberry, or any device with an internet connection to follow along at the meet or from home!
We can provide additional services to enhance the quality of your event. With our scales and Track Master kits, we can certify field event implements (including hammers) to ensure fair competition. We have four anemometers for recording wind readings for the track events and long jump/triple jump. Competitors and spectators can see the running time and results on our scoreboards. We also have the ability to interface with your Daktronics and Fairtron matrix scoreboards for multi-line results display.
