Because of it’s small size the ProChip Smart Decoder fits in your carry-on luggage, so it makes your logistics a lot easier. To time a race all you need is the ProChip Smart Decoder, a loop, ProChips, a laptop with Timing & Scoring and you are good to go!

Detection loops are installed in the track, at the start, finish line and intermediate time points. The loops work as the system’s antennas, they pick up the ProChips signals.

The detection loop can be installed in every type of surface.

• Asphalt or concrete (not permanent): Use industrial quality adhesive tape to affix the loop to the course. Make sure you use high quality tape to secure the loop to the road.
• Ice: Cut slots of approximately 2 cm (1inch) deep in the ice, embed the loop wires and fill with water. Make sure to do this well in advance of an event, as the water will need some time to freeze.
• Snow: cut slots in the snow, approximately 20 cm (8 inch) deep. Place the loop wires in the slot and fill them with snow.

The decoder is attached to the mats, which decodes the BibTag signals into the athletes IDs and their measured times. Portable decoders have an integrated battery and they can measure up to 50 BibTag passings per second.

The system is especially designed for mass events, to handle a high density of athletes.

Detection mats are placed at the start, finish and split timing locations. The mats serve as the system’s antennas as they detect the signals sent out by the BibTags. We offer modular mats that allow you to create timing locations between 1 and 8 meters wide per system.

The BibTag system comes with different tags. These tags are designed for different weather conditions, or types of sports. Pick the tag that suits your needs best and your timing system is ready for your next event.
