Zone4 Timing is designed to work with a variety of inputs including tablet entry, Summits SRT timers, RapidCam, *GoChip*, and manual entry. Depending on the size and complexity of your race, different devices can be used. A small club time trial can easily be timed using the Zone4 android app, and ski races will definitely benefit from using Summit SRT timers. *GoChip* will make any race easier and it is a key component in most races, but it isn’t required to use Zone4 Timing.
