Necessary software
 1. Hy-Tek Meet Manager
 2. Hy-Tek Seeding Option
 3. Hy-Tek Photo Finish

Basic Operation

  • Computer 1 times and reads races with Eagle Eye software.
  • Computer 2 runs Hy-Tek and receives results files from Eagle Eye.
  • Both computers are Networked with the Tornado Transfer Tool.
How it Works
The Eagle Eye operator bookmarks each athlete at the finish line and assigns a lane or position number to the athlete.  Once all athletes in the race have been bookmarked, the race is saved (from a drop down menu) according to the number associated with that event in Hy-Tek. For example, if the men's 100m dash is event 15 in Hy-Tek, the race is save within Eagle Eye as event 15.

With the Tornado File Transfer Tool connected to each computers USB port, both computers show their respective files in a split screen format on both computers -- no additional software.  The Hy-Tek operator can then simply drag and drop the results file into the Hy-Teks tfmeets folder and - when running event 15 within Hy-Tek, the operator simply clicks the Get Time button and the race results automatically populate in the correct lanes within event 15.

Other Networking Methods
 Eagle Eye recommends and supports the Tornado File Transfer Tool for it's plug-n-play operation and ease of use.

Other methods can be used to transfer Eagle Eye results files to the Hy-Tek computer.  Such methods can be as low tech as using a USB or "stick" drive to manual pass files back and forth or as complicated as setting up a network between two computers with an Ethernet or cross over cable.

Tech Support
Due to the endless configurations and various operating systems available, Eagle Eye does not provide technical support for networking computers via network or Ethernet cables. Your institutions IT department is better equipped for this. Instead, Eagle promotes and offers technical support for the Tornado Transfer Tool only.

 This is set up is similar to the old two VCR set up that recorded the race on one VCR and read the race on another VCR.  Eagle Eye makes this configuration possible, however with the speed and efficiency of Eagle Eye, this set up in not necessary...nonetheless, some customers prefer this. Keep in mind this will require using both Activation codes or require another purchase of Eagle Eye software.

  Necessary software
  1 Eagle Eye software
  2. Hy-Tek Meet Manager
  3 Hy-Tek PhotoFinish
  Basic Operation
  • Computer 1 times races with Eagle Eye software.
  • Computer 2 reads races in Eagle Eye and manages the results with Hy-Tek.
  • Both computers are Networked with the Tornado Transfer Tool.

 

  
 How it Works
 The Eagle Eye operator bookmarks each athlete at the finish line and assigns a lane or position
 number to the athlete.  Once all athletes in the race have been bookmarked, the race is saved
 (from a drop down menu) according to the number associated with that event in Hy-Tek. For
 example, if the men's 100m dash is event 15 in Hy-Tek, the race is save within Eagle Eye as
 event 15.

 With the Tornado File Transfer Tool connected to each computers USB port, both computers
 show their respective files in a split screen format on both computers -- no additional software     
 needed.  he Eagle Eye or the Hy-Tek operator can simply drag and drop the results file into the
 Hy-Teks tfmeets folder and - with event 15 opened in Hy-Tek, the operator simply clicks the Get
 Times button and the race results automatically populate in the correct lanes and positions.

 Special Configurations
 In addition to moving the results file to computer 2, the race video file (separate from the results
 file) must also be moved or -re-directed to computer 2 so that computer two can read the video. 
 This can be done be changing the capture folder by going to Tool (to toolbar) and selection
 Options, Capture, Capture folder....or opening the Video file on the C drive and dragging (with  the 
 Tornado) the video into a file on computer 2 where it can be accessed via the Import function
 or via the Browse button within the Directory window.  This process is not as complicated as
 this may sound.

 Other Networking Methods
  Eagle Eye recommends and supports the Tornado File Transfer Tool for it's plug-n-play operation and ease of use.

 Other methods can be used to transfer Eagle Eye results files to the Hy-Tek computer.  Such methods can be as

 It is possible to use one computer for both timing and results, regardless if you are hand
 writing the results or exporting them to meet management software. Keep in mind, with one
 computer you run the risk of slowing down your timing duties as you enter field event results. 
 This shared responsibility can be a challenge, however if field events are typed into the results
 software during distance races you can alleviate much or all of the time crunch. 

 The picture above shows Hy-Tek Meet Manager and Eagle Eye operating simultaneously on the same computer.   
 The Eagle Eye window can be resized and easily moved around the screen to customize your workspace.
