ABSTRACT:
An arrival order judgment device is easy in operation to judge the arrival order for positively recording slit images before and after the finish line for the arrival order judgment only in a necessary minimum range. Slit signals picked up by a line image sensor camera are inputted into a video signal delay circuit. The video signal delay circuit outputs the slit video signals at a predetermined delay time period A. When competitors approaches the finish line and the moment the competitors interrupt a photoelectric device, ON signals are inputted into a memory device to start the record of the images delayed for a predetermined time period. When the competitors are not on the finish line, the photoelectric device outputs OFF signals to a record instruction delay circuit. The record on the memory device is interrupted after the delay period set at the record instruction delay circuit has lapsed. Thus, it is possible to record the images after the competitors have passed through the finish line.
