Unfortunately I can't google up any info on the Shuttercam product.
But, as far as I can figure, the photo-finish system at the STC (Rosehill etc.) and presumably many other Australian tracks is as sophisticated as possible.

Essentially it takes 1000s of digital photos per second of an extremely narrow slit at the finish point and produces a composite.
That's as accurate as anyone would want and presumably instantaneous, so technically there's nothing stopping the TV channels broadcasting the results.
