Lynx Technik AG GMPC 2CUPXD greenMachine callisto+ Dual 3G/HD/SD SDI Frame Synchronizer and UP/DOWN/CROSS Converter

The greenMachine 2CUPXD package is a broadcast-quality video processing unit that has a dual-channel up/down/cross converter with frame synchronizer supporting formats up to 3G-SDI (1920 x 1080) per channel. It includes full audio processing capabilities, scalars for the spatial conversion of the video signals including a versatile region of interest (ROI) selection and high-performance deinterlacers on the two processing channels.

A greenMachine callisto+ with the 2CUPXD constellation deployed also provides two processing channels with independent audio embedder & de-embedder, audio processing, Dolby E decoding, color correction and many more features. It comes with a fully-featured local control interface with LCD which displays image previews and audio level meters of the processed video paths in addition to the graphical user interface called greenGUI. It is also supported by the Nova controller which enables the module to be remotely controlled and monitored via third party master control software.

Features

Processing Channels
Two independent 3G channels (2x3G) 3G Scaler: A spatial converter with a powerful region of interest (ROI) selection and scaling. The conversion modes supported are: Pillar box/Letterbox, Center cut, 14:9 conversion, Stretch to fill, and Custom ROI.

Deinterlacer
Deinterlacers on channel 1 and channel 2 performing broadcast-quality deinterlacing on SD and HD video formats.

Motion adaptive filtering
Motion adaptive filtering allows deinterlacer to create a sequence of output frames at the same rate as the sequence of input fields eliminating feathering or flickering artefacts.

3G level A/B
It provides automatic detection of 3G level A/B and allows 3G level A <> 3G level B dual-link conversion. (3G level A acc. to SMPTE ST425-1/4:2:2, 10Bit)

Frame Synchronizer
One of the best synchronizers in the industry utilizing the external reference with a robust "flywheel" function for the synchronization of SDI sources. All embedded audio is extracted and delayed automatically to match the video processing delay, then embedded via a matrix into the SDI output.

Metadata Management
This functionality manages the embedded metadata in the video signals. Time code, Closed captions, and Teletext can be monitored and/or converted.

Video Adjustment
It includes saturation, gain black and hue adjustments, blanking interval deletion and aperture correction. It also provides a horizontal flip and YCrCb headroom clipping functionality.

Color correction
It allows adjustments in gain, offset, lift, and gamma for Red, Green, and Blue (RGB). It also provides gain and offset adjustments for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and White (CMYW).

Embedder/Deembedder
A multi-format audio embedder and de-embedder provide access to all the channels in the input SDI and allow shuffling and embedding them to the output(s).

Audio Processing
It provides gain adjustment, mute, inversion, and stereo to mono-mix on each mono audio channel including silence and overload monitoring. It has a 1khz test signal as well.

Dolby E decoder
Two Dolby E decoders can be used to decode all 8 channels contain in a Dolby E stream. The Dolby metadata can be mapped to VANC acc. to SMPTE 2020-3 and SMPTE 2020-2.

MADI in/out
This constellation fully supports MADI, if the greenMachine is equipped with an optionally available MADI SFP. All incoming and outgoing MADI signals have internal audio processing and are connected to the internal audio matrix and can be rearranged.

Basic Audio & Video Test Generator
The test generator is a basic audio & video test signal generator with a wide range of still video test patterns. It can be configured to work in conjunction with the Frame Synchronizer to output a test pattern on TRS errors.

Timing
Each video and audio (AES and MADI) channel can be individually delayed. The available video delay per channel is 30 frames and the audio delay is 1.3 second per AES audio channel.

greenGUI
greenGUI is a control software that provides remote control and status monitoring and event (error) reporting for all the greenMachines installed on a network.

Nova Controller
Adds full SNMP v2 along with LYNX IP remote control protocol functionality to the system. It enables CustomControl feature that allows users to design customized control panels for a computer, giving specific simplified user-specific controls.
