Spectator engagement

The result appears on screen as soon as you save the photo finish file. The scoreboard resizes to fit any display and is smart about which data it shows.

Text display reading “Quiet for the start please. Good luck athletes”

Announcements and overlays

Show text, a sponsor screensaver, the photo-finish line view, a full-screen clock or a countdown to the next event, several at once if you like. There's no need to remember to switch back: the next saved result returns every screen to results.

Network requirements

  • A network of its own. Run PolyField on a dedicated network, separate from any guest or public Wi-Fi at the stadium.
  • Devices must see each other. The network can't isolate devices (often called client or AP isolation) or split them into separate segments. App devices talk to PolyField Server, and screens talk to PolyField & Track Displays or Server, directly over the local network.
  • Internet is optional. PolyField Server only needs it to link with your competition management system. PolyField & Track Displays never needs it.
