Features
- Bright external 360° strobe: Flashes with start signal tone. Additional strobe lights (EVIs) for other locations are available.
- External visual indicators (EVIs): EVIs function as either a strobe or a lane indicator and feature variable intensity settings for indoor or outdoor use. EVIs level the playing field by giving all athletes a visual cue to the start.
- Visual start signaling (VSS): Provides a clear visual start sequence for all athletes behind the block, on the block, and signal “Take Your Marks.” It uses the multi-color LEDs of the EVIs and was designed for athletes who are deaf or hard of hearing but is useful to all athletes.
- Training mode: Automated “take your marks” message and start signaling with a variable interval between starts.
- Alternate start tones and custom “take your marks” messages.
