Caprino: the primary software application running on the tracking server that processes race data; it must be running for HTS Race Control and HTS Bridge to function properly
Chyron PRIME: the graphics software application running on the graphics server; it is used to load graphics layouts and configure visual elements such as the track name, race type, and colors
Grid view: a monitoring interface within the ZXY Transponder Info portal; in this view, each cell signifies a transponder, and cells displaying a horse icon indicate the transponders designated for the upcoming race
HTS Bridge: a software application that runs on the graphics server; it connects Chyron PRIME to the specific tracking server (Caprino) for a given race track, maintaining a stable data connection (ideally at 25 Hz)
HTS race control: an application connected to Caprino that is used to manage the specific race data; operators use it to download the race schedule (via the "Load Races" function) and perform manual transponder swaps between horses if necessary
Table view: a detailed data interface within the ZXY Transponder Info portal used to verify the real-time health of individual transponders; it displays metrics such as the last updated time, data frequency (~10 Hz), internal temperature (should be below 50°C), and battery life (should be above 80%)
tracking server: the local computer system at the race track responsible for running Caprino and processing the transponder tracking data
Transponder: a battery-powered tracking hardware device that is attached to a horse's number plate prior to a race; it features a multi-color LED indicator to show its current state (example: pulsating orange for charging, constant green for fully charged, and blinking green when active and connected)
ZXY Transponder Info: a web-based monitoring dashboard used to check the overall health of the tracking system; it alerts users to system errors (indicated by a red flashing icon) and provides tools (like Grid view and Table view) to monitor transponder functionality
