The MYLAPS RC4 platform is based upon an entirely new communication protocol for sending over data from your transponder to the timing system installed at the track. The current MYLAPS RC3 (previously AMBrc) protocol only allows a transponder to send over your unique transponder ID. With the new RC4 protocol, a transponder is able to send over much more:

• Temperature: the ambient temperature of the transponder
• Voltage: the supply voltage of the transponder
• Car ID: the Car ID allows you to use multiple transponders that share the same unique Transponder ID, but are tagged with different Car IDs. More information will follow soon.
• We will continue to add more relevant data, which you can use for analysis and to improve your performance

Based on feedback of the RC community and the possibilities of the new RC4 communication protocol, we designed a new series of RC4 Transponders. Because the new MYLAPS RC4 Timing System will not be available at all clubs and tracks at once, we introduce the MYLAPS RC4 Hybrid Transponder to make life easier for everyone. The MYLAPS RC4 Hybrid Transponder:

• works on the new MYLAPS RC4 Timing System, so you are well prepared
• is 100% backwards compatible: It also works on all current MYLAPS RC2 and RC3 Timing Systems (previously AMBrc)
• allows you to already benefit from the standard transponder benefits

Your additional transponder benefits when used in combination with the new MYLAPS RC4 Timing System *):

• More data measured (temperature, voltage, Car ID, as listed in the communication protocol)
• Double hit rates detection, resulting in even more accurate results

*) The MYLAPS RC4 Timing System will be available in February 2010, and the Car ID functionality will be separately released soon after. Ask your club, local track or race organization what system they support, and tell them about our attractive offer to upgrade to the MYLAPS RC4 Timing System!
