The 2000 season brings a new feature to Unikon... SuperVal will allow flyers to clock birds in multiple races, using multiple memory modules, using only one data logger. New software will sort the incoming bird data to the correct memory module using the liberation/race data. The data is all held in the data logger until one of the flyers inserts a memory module and the corresponding data is then uploaded.

You don't need to be at the loft with the memory modules to clock incoming pigeons. You can be off somewhere else maybe in another race while SuperVal clocks the birds for you!. All you have to do is come back to the loft., insert your memory module, and Unikon's SuperVal feature will automatically sort and upload the correct data.

Deister Electronics has applied two decades of experience as a leader in the electronic data capture industry to the needs of pigeon flyers worldwide. The UNIKON system is the result!
For generations, racing pigeon fanciers and flyers have relied on bulky, hard-to-use mechanical clock systems for recording the arrival times of their birds. This method requires the use of stall traps to physically capture the returning birds so that their countermarks can be removed and inserted into a clock mechanism. This not only creates stress for the pigeon, but can result in inaccurate race result timing.
The concept is simple. When the racing pigeon returns to it's loft, it passes over a "ring sensor" antenna. This antenna instantaneously reads information from an electronic band fastened to the pigeon's leg. The information consists of identifying data on the bird, as well as special codes that were written into the band at race entry. The return time is recorded into a memory module (about the size of a pack of cigarettes) for transport to the club race officials. The stored information can then be uploaded to a computer for easy race results evaluation.
Older electronic clocking systems depended on electronic bands that were permanently encoded with a simple ID number and could not have special codes written into them. The result has been the development of "black box" defeat kits that could mimic the simple information stored in the old "read only" bands and thus falsify race results. Deister has overcome this problem by the use of special "read/write" bands that allow for the recording of special race codes at the beginning of every race. The system will report on band data that does not contain these special codes, thus making race result falsification or manipulation next to impossible. Of course, the UNIKON can still read the older, read-only tags.

Convenient: Automatic, contact-free data capture on all
returning pigeons.
Handy: Only the rugged memory module needs to be carried
back to the Club race officials for race result reporting.
Flexible: The ring sensor antennas incorporate two
detection zones and can be mounted in line or side-by-side. The data
logger can also be used by the individual flyer for training tosses, and
results may be printed out to any IBM compatible parallel printer and/or
uploaded to loft management software for further evaluation.
Contact-free: The data is captured from the bands via
radio frequency communication. Data transfer to the memory module ("RAM
box") is also contact-free; there are no electrical contacts to
corrode or wear out.
Compatible: UNIKON operates with conventional read-only
ring bands as well as the new read/write bands.
Reliable: Configuring the ring sensors with their
detection zones aligned in the direction of entry provides double data
capture for each bird, resulting in the optimum detection performance and
reliability.
Secure: This modern, totally new concept in union with
newly developed read/write rings makes this system an excellent investment
that will provide benefits for years to come. Read/write technology
provides the most secure, tamper-resistant race result data possible.
Intelligent: The UNIKON system automatically senses the
number of antennas attached, so set-up is simple! It also has redundant,
built-in safeguards to prevent the accidental deletion of race data. All
UNIKON components are state-of-the-art, reliable, and easy-to-use!
Together, they form a system that provides the utmost in operational
integrity.
