Overview
The main screen consists of the preview area, the capture controls above the preview area, and the
review controls below the preview area. The two tabs in the upper left allow you to switch between the
FAT Devices and the Start Race Controls. The Start Race tab is not be available until after the FAT
Devices have been initialized, and neither tabs are present if you are in Review Only mode. The three
tabs below them allow you to switch between the list of schedule events, the list of recorded videos and
the table for recording athletes’ time. The record time tab appears once a video is opened for review.

FT-FAT Radio Devices
The FAT system includes 3 radio devices: Camera, Starter Unit, and USB Radio. Before launching the
program in capture mode, setup the camera by plugging it into one of the POE ports on the provided
network switch and connecting the capture computer to another port on the switch. Plug in the USB
Radio and turn on the Starter Unit by pressing the green button and ensuring that the batteries are
installed correctly. When the program is launched, it attempts to initialize the FAT system. The Device
tab in the upper left corner shows the status of each device as it is initialized. The
Start Race
tab is
added when the system is initialized. This may take a few minutes.
If there is an issue with the initialization a message will appear next
to the appropriate device. Click on the device button to determine
the problem.
USB Radio
This will report a problem if the USB Radio unit is not plugged in or
cannot be detected. Most problems can be fixed by plugging in the
USB unit. If it is plugged in, try plugging the device into another USB
port. Click the USB Radio button, check the auto discovery box and
click OK. The system will reinitialize.
