Manual timing
A crew on the line with redundant clocks, cross-checked splits and video verification. It is the fallback when transponders are not an option — and the safety net for when they fail mid-race.

Race timing & broadcast data
We run the clock at powerboat and aquabike racing — and we hand the result to your broadcast the same second it happens. Manual timing when it has to be manual, your own system when you already have one, and a graphics feed your renderer can actually build against.

What we do
Every event arrives with a different amount of kit already on the dock. We cover the whole range — from a crew with stopwatches on the line to a full data pipeline feeding a broadcast graphics engine.

Already own a timing system? We adapt to it. Transponder loops, GPS trackers, beam gates, whatever is in the flight case — we operate it and take responsibility for what comes out of it.

The interface and the data behind professional realtime renderers with SDI out. A documented schema, a stable socket and a source your graphics operator can build a full package against.

No renderer, no problem. Browser-source pages built to your event look, dropping straight into a software switcher or a hardware CG. Same data, same clock, no licence to buy.

Signal path
One clock, one truth, many destinations. Whatever captures the passing, everything lands in the same engine — so the tower, the overlay, the website and the commentary box never disagree on screen.

Our home is powerboat and aquabike. Both series race in short, loud, unforgiving formats where a late result is a wrong result — which is exactly why the clock and the graphics live under one roof.
Inshore circuit powerboat racing at speeds where a lap is settled in tenths. Timing, tower graphics and the data behind the broadcast package.

Integration
We are the layer between the water and the graphics engine. The engine can be yours, ours, or the host broadcaster's — we speak to it either way, and we bring the redundancy so a dropped socket never becomes a black tower.
