EVENT TIMING SYSTEMS

Ultramax Chip Timing Solutions
Our chip timing technologies, software and equipment are simply the best available. Ultramax will operate three of the most advanced chip timing systems in the world. We can provide systems that offer a greener chip recycling option or the very latest in disposable race numbers with embedded timing chips. Ultramax provides live timing services to more than 70 contracted events each year. We deliver timing solutions to events ranging from 200 to over 15,000 finishers. Our timing crews have the technical training and equipment needed to handle the most complicated timing situations.Services

IPICO Sports Timing System - Our Green Recyclable Timing Chip Option
The IPICO Sports Timing system offers considerable performance advantages over alternative technologies. This same technology is used in homeland defense, tracking of explosives and in vehicle identification. The high read-range and robust anti-collision mechanism allow successful timing locations for events with the most demanding environmental conditions and high densities of participants. All with virtually 100% accuracy. The timing tags are roughly half the size of a credit card and are worn on a shoe. The tag is absolutely non-intrusive to runners. This is our most popular option for running events.

MyLaps BibTag System - The Disposable Race Number Chip Option
The BibTag System is the very latest in timing technology. This system combines the race number and the timing tag into a more friendly handling process. This system dramatically reduces the time needed to handle, issue and recover timing chips. The modular mat design allows a flexible width for each timing point. The accuracy of results are simply amazing and the system can handle extremely high volumes of start and finish line passes. Ultramax will begin to offer this timing option in the Summer of 2010!

AMB ChipX Timing System - The Perfect Solution for Cycling, Lap Races and Non-Traditional Sports Timing.
The AMB Chip X System is one of the most advanced chip timing systems in the world today. The ChipX system can accurately score up to 80 ProChips per second, at speeds up to 50 mph. The perfect and perhaps only real solution for multi-sport, cycling and high speed lap events. The Active system has been designed to provide accurate results to 1/100th of a second and a 100% capture rate without the need for redundant back-up points. The detection loop is adjustable to a full 12m (39 ft) depending on your course layout needs. The loop/wires can be taped directly to the course surface or even embedded. They are very low profile and will not interfere with sprint finishes. There are NO mats to run, ride or swim over.

Cycling Events - We specialize in timing cycling events!

With bikes flying by the finish line at 30+ mph, accurate hand scoring and even video recording for EVERY participant is simply not a feasible or even accurate option. Whether it's a criterium, time trial or road race or mountain bike race, we provide results “LIVE” as the race progresses. Our timing system works for your event by providing your announcer and official staff with their own view of live rider passings for the entire race field, as it happens. As racers complete the race or each lap of the course, it's critical to have a scoring system that accurately tracks each racer's efforts. Our Orbits software keeps tabs on each riders laps, race category and so much more. Continuously updated “LIVE” results are provided via computer terminals throughout the event as racers finish.

The capability of scoring the entire race field and providing immediate and accurate results will help attract and motivate both veteran and new cycling participants. Our timing system has virtually eliminated the historical dispute issues that seem to come standard with the sport of cycling.
