FDS Remote Timer vs Microgate HiChrono

Remote Timer has been designed to be used when the distance between a timing gate and the timing center is above the range of radio transmission. This app will send all timestamps generated by a TBox to our Cloud server (either via a timing session or via a WebResult competition ID). Those timeStamps can be retrieved either by SmartChrono, by another Remote Timer app (in Receive mode) or by a computer using the dedicated "FDS Timing Server Interface" PC application.

HiChrono transforms the Microgate ecosystem with a cloud-based digital infrastructure for distributed timing. The app connects Microgate devices located across distant race points, removing the physical limitations of cables and the restricted range of radio signals. With HiChrono, you can transmit Time of Day (TOD), assign bib numbers to split times and monitor athlete status (started, finished, DNS/DNF) wherever you are, ensuring maximum operational flexibility even in the most demanding environments. Key Features Cloud-based communication system for synchronized data exchange between multiple race points. Instant connection of Microgate devices without cables or complex radio bridges. Precise Time of Day (TOD) transmission and instant bib assignment. Real-time athlete status management, including DNS (Did Not Start) and DNF (Did Not Finish). Flexible configurations for events of any size, from small tests to large distributed competitions.
