titan
Quad Channel Universal Video and Audio Processing Platform
Overview
The current greenMachine titan comprises four 3G/HD/SD-SDI video channels or a
single 4K/UHD video channel. It offers up to 12G processing support (3840 x 2160
@60 Hz) and provides the functionality to convert between single-link 4K video (12G)
and quad-link 4K video (2SI; 4x3G).
The greenMachine titan hardware is a powerful general-purpose audio and video
processing appliance that is custom-configured by the user using one of the pre-
defined constellations. It is not limited to one constellation per greenMachine. It may
be switched between multiple licensed constellations to configure the machine for
many different applications in the workflow.
A Constellation is a template or package of features. When you deploy a
constellation on a greenMachine, you are reconfiguring that machine to have those
features.
All current constellations are present in the greenMachine when delivered.
All constellations can be deployed for full functional testing even without a license,
but unlicensed constellations will show a watermark on the video output. If required,
licenses can then be purchased from you local LYNX representative.
If you ordered a greenMachine package and/or additional
constellations, then your greenMachine has been delivered
pre-congured and ready to use.

LOCAL CONTROL AND MONITORING
When used stand-alone, the greenMachine titan has a local control panel that can
be used to fully operate and monitor the module.
The nine push buttons on the left-hand side, in conjunction with the local display,
provide everything that is required for a detailed input and output signal monitoring.
“Signals“ Button
Press the “Signals” button located on the bottom left of the control panel to access
the “Signal Chooser“ to select “Inputs“ or “Outputs“ mode.
Detailed Signal Information
To get detailed information for a specific input or output signal, press the correlating
signal button (e.g. SDI 2) when in “Inputs” or “Outputs“ mode and the display will
show detailed information for this input or output. Press the same signal button
repeatedly to toggle between different signal information pages.

The “System” button to the right of the display will
access the system settings menu. Within this menu
you can adjust the IP settings and panel configuration,
reset the processing parameters and/or system
settings (excluding IP settings), monitor the module’s
health parameters or assign presets to the Function
Keys, which are located on the far right of the control panel next to the rotary push
encoder.
4
Processing Conguration
Access and control the configuration menus by using the buttons to the immediate
left and top right of the display. You can also use the “Back“ button underneath the
rotary encoder.
The areas on the left and right hand side of the display show the active menu
items. Turn the rotary encoder to navigate between these different menu items. The
center part of the display will show a preview of the currently highlighted menu item.
Pushing the rotary encoder will enter the menu item.
System Settings
Panel Lock
Pressing and holding the “Panel Lock” button for 3
seconds will lock the processing and system settings
for the local control panel. When locked, the
“Panel Lock” button will be illuminated red.
Press and hold the “Panel Lock” button for 3 seconds
to unlock.
All input and output monitoring functionalities are available in lock mode.

DEPLOYING A NEW CONSTELLATION WITH THE LOCAL
CONTROL PANEL
Deployment of constellations can be done in the
System menu. To select the System menu, just
press the button mid right to the display.
Then select the General menu.
Select the constellation menu and then select the
constellation you would like to deploy from the list in
the display and press the rotary button.
Note: If you ordered a greenMachine package and/or additonal
constellations, then your greenMachine has been delivered
pre-congured and ready to use.
All current constellations are present in the greenMachine when delivered.
All constellations can be deployed for full functional testing even without a license,
but unlicensed constellations will show a watermark on the video output. If required,
licenses can then be purchased from you local LYNX representative.

DEPLOYING A NEW CONSTELLATION WITH THE greenGUI
Each greenMachine in the universe contains a flexGUI to control all the processing
parameters within the constellations.
The universe has access to all machines and all their parameters. Selecting a
greenMachine in the Rolodex on the left side (scrolling menu) will cause the universe
to zoom into that machine. Double-clicking on a machine in the universe graphic will
bring focus in the Rolodex.
On the right-hand side of the Universe Editor, you will find a Rolodex with all
the Constellations available in the greenUniverse (see picture below). These are
the templates that you can use to reconfigure your machine. The constellation
Rolodex does not display or contain any machine specific information. To deploy a
Constellation onto any greenMachine, just select it from the Constellations Rolodex,
and drag and drop it on to the greenMachine.
At the top right of the center area, you will find the “Deploy” button. Once you
have dropped the constellation onto a greenMachine, the “Deploy” button will be
highlighted in two possible colors:
Green: This indicates that you have the license for the constellation
you would like to deploy. Simply click the “Deploy“ button.
Red: This indicates that you are missing the license that is required for the
constellation you want to deploy. Click the Deploy button and the constellation will
be deployed but the outputs will have a watermark. This way you can evaluate every
available constellation.

IP SETTINGS OF THE greenMachine titan
By default, the IP setting of the greenMachine is set to DHCP. If you have a DHCP
server, simply connect the greenMachine to your network with the DHCP server and
an IP address will automatically be assigned to the greenMachine.
If you want to manually set the IP address, you can easily do this via the front control
panel. Press the “System” button (middle button to the right of the display) and
access the IP settings menu with the push encoder.
1. Change the “IP Mode“ from DHCP to Static.
2. Set the static IP Address in the “IP Address“ menu.
3. Confirm the IP address settings after adjusting the last digits.
DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE greenGUI
In order to control the greenMachine with an intuitive user interface, you will need
to install the greenGUI software, which is available for Windows and Mac. You can
download the greenGUI from our website:
www.lynx-technik.com > Downloads > greenGUI
After you have downloaded the greenGUI, install it and connect the computer to
the same IP network that the greenMachine is connected to. The greenMachine will
automatically be detected by the greenGUI and connect.
