Multidesk
The Starter-box for our Automatic Startsystem - connected to the IMAS Timesystem

Integration
Our Starter-box "Multidesk" has the highest level of integration.
It not only controls our Automatic Startsystem - it is an integral component in our Timesystem.
This gives you direct access to the next race - with all the relevant information.
For example the Startlist, the kind of race / its name, the round - and most important: when it is scheduled to be started.
To help you to start on time, there is a countdown synchronized with the timer.
This data is shown on an outdoor touch display.
The "real" buttons are "Start" and "False start".


False-start analysis
The Multidesk also integrates the False-start analysis.
For this purpose, you can connect our false start camera directly to the Multidesk.
Connected via HDMI it provides a nice big picture for the referee.
For easy operation, there is also a "scroll knob" - a handy control element for scrolling back and forward.
Whether at the "Start" or the "False start" - the Multidesk records a sequence from a short time before the signal to a short time after the signal and provides the referee with the image of the time at which the button was pressed.

Various Sports and Startmodi

Sprint
If the race is started from the side, sprint mode is recommended.
The Start-list is in portrait format and the false start analysis at this location are recommended here.
This Modus is used for Canu-Sprint, Long distance and Dragonboat.

Rowing
Rowing starts behind the starting field. Accordingly, the false start analysis is shifted to the "Aligner" position and the Start-list is displayed in landscape format.
The Aligner also uses a Multidesk in "Aliger mode".
This is positioned at the side - so the Start-list is in portrait format. The false start analysis is also carried out here.

Mass-start
Used for Canoe-Marathon and for Long distance, you will get more control about the start-gates of our Automatic Startsystem.
Yellow lamp
For Rowing, this light is switched on 2 minutes before the scheduled start to signal to the athletes that the race is about to be started soon.
It is automatically switched off again shortly after the start signal.
