Product Overview
Product Description
greenMachine adopts a three-prong approach to product definition and function. Rather
than being a fixed application specific box, greenMachine is a combination of general-
purpose hardware, constellation (pre-defined set of functionalities/features) for re-
programmable functionality and powerful control software.
The current greenMachine titan processes four 3G/HD/SD-SDI video streams or a single
4K/UHD video input. 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 using one of the pre-defined
constellations, which can be purchased through the LYNX sales network. You are not
limited to one constellation per greenMachine; you can switch between multiple licensed
constellations to configure the machine for many different applications in your workflow.
greenMachine hardware devices are standalone processing modules with an intuitive
control interface and LCD display for accessing and viewing the graphical menu. The LCD
display and menu also allows you to monitor the video inputs and outputs. An entire
greenMachine system is fully controlled by the powerful greenGUI®software available for
Windows and Mac.
greenMachine hardware devices are extremely powerful and use the very latest high
speed programmable Xilinx technology and dual ARM processors. greenMachine and its
software, APP based approach and architecture provides a future-proof solution for
numerous applications from broadcast all the way to industrial type AV uses.

Functional Diagram
Four electrical 3G/HD/SD SDI inputs and outputs are available on the greenMachine titan.
In addition to this it has an HDMI input and output as well as two optional fiber inputs and
outputs. Without any APPs installed, the greenMachine titan comes with input and output
signal routers as shown in the functional diagram below. Basic conversion functionality
from and to HDMI, SDI and Fiber are available.
The greenMachine titan comes with four audio input and output connections that can be
configured for either analog or digital audio. Basic conversion functionality from and to
analog and digital audio are available without any APPs installed. Monitoring of all inputs
and outputs including image previews and audio level meters are also part of the basic
functionality as well as the Nova controller providing support for SNMP and custom
control.
All further video and audio processing functionalities can be defined by deploying the
available constealltions.

Customizing your greenMachine
The greenMachine titan comes standard with basic routing and audio analog to digital
conversion functionalities. All further video and audio processing functionalities are
defined by the deployed constellation.
Constellation
A constellation is an arrangement of different functionalities. Constellations define what
video and/or audio functionality is needed on what processing path. The greenMachine
titan has four 3G processing paths or one 12G processing path. When deploying a new
constellation, one can choose between constellation types for 3G or 12G 4K/UHD.
There are different processing categories that the functions belong to, which are color
coded to help you identify them:
- Audio I/O is yellow
- Sync is red
- Video Converter is turquoise
- Image Proc is blue
- Generate is green
- Switching is gray
- Monitoring is cadet blue
- Global is magenta
Constellations are pre-defined in the system and are always available, e.g.:
The Quad FS Constellation
- This turns your greenMachine titan into a quad channel frame with basic test
generator function and video processing, full audio processing including two Dolby
E decoders and MADI input and output as well as adjustable user delay.
The 4k UPXD Constellation
- This constellation provides a broadcast quality 4K/UHD up/down converter with
4x3G Quad Link (2SI) <> 12G Single Link conversion. It also includes powerful
scaling capabilities that allow a versatile Region of Interest selection with
adjustable user delay Additional functions include the possibility to convert
metadata information as well as video / audio processing and a 4K/UHD basic test
generator.
- More constellations are available, and we are constantly adding new
constellations, please check the LYNX homepage for more information:
www.lynx-technik.com

Deployment
To give your greenMachine titan the functionality you defined in a constellation, you need
to deploy this constellation onto your device(s). You can deploy any pre-defined
constellation onto your greenMachine titan even if the constellation was not purchased.
You will be able to test this constellation with your own signals including all the parameters
available. As long as you haven’t been purchased the deployed constellation, you will get
watermarks on all the outputs of your greenMachine. The video watermark is shown
below.
Watermarked video output
The audio channels embedded in the output video as well as the external audio channels
will also be watermarked with a 1 kHz test tone every 20 seconds.

greenUniverse
As soon as there are at least two greenMachines in the same network, they will form a
virtual cloud, which we refer to as “greenUniverse.” This cloud enables the greenMachines
to share and transfer information, such as your licensed Constellations or stored
images/patterns in the TESTOR constellation.
Image 1: the greenUniverse - greenMachine cloud with five greenMachines
When you purchase constellations, they are available for the entire greenUniverse.
Purchasing a constellation from LYNX means you have purchased one instance of the
constellation that can be used on any of your greenMachines at a given time. If you need
to use several instances of the constellation at the same time, you will need to purchase
additional constellations. If, on the other hand you want to use a constellation at several
different points in your greenUniverse and at different times, you will need only one
instance of a constellation.
A simple example of this is the TESTOR constellation. Although you may need to have a
generated test pattern at every output of all your greenMachines, it probably will not be
necessary at the same point in time. In this case, you can share one, or a few TESTOR
constellations throughout your Network, deploying it at will to the greenMachines needing
a generated output.
When you deploy a given Constellation to a greenMachine, the system will check if there
is an available instance in the greenUniverse. If so, this instance will be assigned to this
greenMachine. If not, you will get, as described above, watermarks on your outputs until
your purchase the required constellation.

Processing Configuration
The three buttons to the left of the display access the three processing configuration
menus in the panel.
Together with the rotary push encoder and the back button, these three configuration
menus are all that is required to configure the processing of the greenMachine titan.
Processing Configuration Menus
The processing configuration parameters are generally grouped to the Video Proc and the
Audio Bus menus according to their respective processing function. Settings that cannot
be logically associated to any of these categories can be found in the Misc menu.
Inside the three processing configuration menus, the parameters are ordered according
to the processing category they belong to. These processing categories are the same as
described in the Constellation chapter: Audio I/O, Sync, Video Convert, Image Proc,
Generate, Monitoring and Global, and are shown with the same color code. The picture
below shows the first level of the VideoProc1 menu with all processing categories. The
parameters controlling the Routers are grouped under the category I/O Config.
First Level of the VideoProc1 Menu - the Processing categories
Configuration Controls

greenMachine®titan Reference Manual - Rev 2.0

Inside the processing categories, the parameters are ordered according to their respective
APP. Therefore, you will find in the first two levels of the configuration a direct mapping of
the deployed constellation.Below picture shows the second menu (the functions)
contained in the Video Convert processing category of the Video Proc 1 Menu. Inthis case
three functions in that category were contained in the Constellation that was deployed on
that greenMachine: 3G Level A/B, MetaData and Scaler.
Second Level of the Video Convert Menu
The structure and usage of the configuration menus works as follows:
The areas on the left and right side of the display show the active menu items. Turning
the rotary push encoder will navigate between these different menu items. The inverted
menu item (i.e. dark gray with white text) is currently selected. It’s possible that there are
more than six menu items. In this case there will be more pages available. These are
indicated by the circles at the bottom of the center part of the menu. The pale gray circle
Active Menu Items
