images that you would like to display; see picture below. In the 'Presentation' window (see above) you can select which
image you want to display (2 out of 4 in the example). When you select an image from the list, it will first be shown on
the top-left corner of the photo. With the mouse you can then click and drag the image to any desired position inside the
visible part of the MacFinish photo (bottom-left in the example).
You can further select the 'Time Line Size' from a pull-down choice list, and when you click in the 'OK' button, your
MacFinish photo will be 'Presented' in 'Full screen mode'. Just click with the mouse button to end the 'Presentation
mode'.
Note; Most of the time, a photo finish operator does not have enough time to wait until the Television crew had the
chance to broadcast the race finish photo, but this should not be a problem, as most or probably all external professional
video converters ( to convert your RGB computer video signal to NTSC or PAL television video format) have a 'freeze'
function to memorize a screen. This means that the photo finish operator only has to use the 'Presentation mode' for a
second, just enough time to press the 'freeze' button on the video converter, and he can continue his normal photo finish
job.
