New charting technology to debut at the Meadowlands

The digital technology that produces the precise order of finish at the end of each race will now determine the margins charted during the race, beginning Saturday night at the Meadowlands.

The Teletimer Electronic Imagining Charting System utilizes existing digital photo finish methodology combined with remote, wireless cameras at each quarter pole as well as an eighth of a mile from the finish line, which will automate the process of determining margins at each pole.

"The system is accurate to 1/1000ths of a second, with visual confirmation of all presented data," said Joel Rosenzweig, president of American Teletimer, which has been servicing the pari-mutuel industry since 1938.
