LYNX Technik AG GMP DUAL UPXD | Dual 3G/HD/SD Up/Down/Cross Converter

LYNX Technik AG GMP DUAL UPXD Dual 3G/HD/SD Up/Down/Cross Converter

The Lynx greenMachine is the first 100% APP driven AV appliance. This is a preconfigured “value package" which includes the greenMachine Callisto hardware platform plus a suite of APPs to build a fully featured dual channel SD/HD/3G SDI Frame Sync with integrated up/down/cross conversion with full audio processing.

This package is designed for applications that require dependable broadcast quality up/down/cross conversion and frame synchronization with full audio processing capability. The converters include powerful scaling capabilities that allow for a versatile “Region of Interest" (ROI) selection if required. The included 3G Level A/B APP makes the module compatible with either standard (Level A or Level B) 3G SDI signals, and can cross convert between the two. Any video input (SDI, HDMI or optional fiber) can be assigned to either video processing path.

The audio processing capabilities are extensive. This solution de-embeds all audio as well as providing support for four external audio inputs or outputs which can individually be configured to be analog or digital signals.

Multiple internal crossbars allow for extensive audio shuffling plus content aware audio processing, DolbyE synchronization, full audio processing and multiple adjustable user delays.

The greenMachine Callisto hardware platform is equipped with a fully featured local control panel with an LCD display used for image previews and audio level meters in addition to supporting the local control interface.

The package also includes the MiniNova APP 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.
