LYNX Technik AG GMP DUAL TRANS Bidirectional Fiber Transport Solution

The Lynx greenMachine is the first 100% APP driven AV appliance. This is a preconfigured “value package" which includes 2 greenMachine Callisto hardware platforms, fiber options and a suite of APPs to build a fully featured bi-directional fiber transport system, which can transport Dual HD video, Audio, GPI and Ethernet bi-directionally over fiber.

The greenMachine Dual Transport Package includes two greenMachine Callisto hardware appliances, two Dual Transport APPs (one per greenMachine), four Frame Synchronizer APPs (one per transported video signal) and two MiniNova APPs. Additionally the package includes a set of bidirectional video transceiver SFP fiber modules as well as a set of bidirectional Ethernet transceiver SFP modules.
(The bidirectional SFP fiber modules have an integrated WDM multiplexing and demultiplexing allowing the bidirectional signals to be transported over one singlemode fiber cable.)

This package is a cost effective bidirectional transport solution for video, audio, Ethernet and GPI. It is a powerful and flexible solution for many Broadcast and ProAV applications that need to exchange multiple signals when a limited number of fiber links are available.

The greenMachine Callisto hardware platforms are equipped with fully featured local control panels with LCD displays used for image previews and audio level meters in addition to supporting the local control interface.

The package also includes two MiniNova APPs which allows the user design custom control surfaces for use on a PC or used wirelessly on an iPad. The MinNova also allows the greenMachine be remotely controlled and monitored via third party control systems.

This package is designed as a starter system. As the greenMachine is 100% APP driven, the functionality can be changed or augmented by simply downloading different APPs from the online LYNX GreenStore at any time.

Note: Some configuration is required. The greenMachine Callisto hardware is supplied with a unique redemption code to go online and download the suite of APPs needed from the LYNX GreenStore.
