callisto
Dual Channel Universal Video and Audio Processing Platform
The greenMachine callisto is a dual channel universal video and audio processing
platform that can process video signals up to 3Gbit.
As a standalone piece of hardware, callisto has a very basic set of functions that
allow a fundamental conguration (e.g. IP settings) and I/O signal monitoring.
Additional processing functionality can be added by installing the required APPs that
can be purchased on the LYNX Technik AG greenStore.

GETTING STARTED
IP SETTINGS OF THE greenMachine callisto
Step 1:
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 set the IP address manually,
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. Conrm the IP address settings after adjusting the last digits.
Step 2: DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE greenGUI
In order to activate and use the APPs, you will need to install the
greenGUI which is available for Windows and Mac. You can download the
greenGUI from our homepage:
www.lynx-technik.com > Support > Download Area > greenGUI
After you have downloaded the greenGUI, install it and connect the
computer to the same IP network as the greenMachine is connected to.
The greenMachine will automatically be detected by the greenGUI and
connected.
Step 3: LOADING THE APPS TO THE greenMachine
If you have already purchased APPs on the greenStore, you will have
received a license key le (ends with .lxl). Go to the APPs menu in the
greenGUI and select the “Load Licenses” function on the greenStore tab.
Select the license key le and press import.
Note: The APP purchase is based on the serial number of at least
one greenMachine. In order for the APP activation to work, the
greenMachine(s) for which they were purchased need(s) to be connected
to the network.

BUILDING A CONSTELLATION
Step 4:
To start building a constellation (group of APPs), go to the “Constellation
Editor“ which you can nd in the “APPs“ menu of the greenGUI.
Note: If you have purchased a greenMachine callisto bundle (e.g. DualFS,
DualUPXD, Dual Transport, or similar) you can skip this step and continue
with step 5.
1 23
1On the far left of the editor you will nd a list of all the processing APPs
that are available for the greenMachine callisto including the number of
purchased APPs.
2On the far right you will nd a rolodex with all available constellations
including the templates for the greenMachine callisto bundles.
To start a new constellation from scratch, press the “+” symbol at the top
of the rolodex.
To rename a constellation, double click on the name in the rolodex
(default name “New Constellation”).
3The center area of the constellation editor shows the details of the
constellation selected in the constellation rolodex.
The color coded notches on each path are where the APPs from the
APPs list can be dragged and dropped. The APPs can be dropped
to the notches with the same color.
Multiple APPs can be added to a single notch.

DEPLOYING A CONSTELLATION TO A greenMachine
Step 5:
To deploy a constellation to a greenMachine, go to the “Universe Editor“,
which you can nd in the “APPs“ menu of the greenGUI.

1
On the far right of the Universe Editor you will nd a rolodex with all
available constellations.
2
On the left hand side is a rolodex with all the greenMachines that are
within the greenUniverse (i.e. connected to the network).
3The center area graphically represents all the greenMachines within the
universe. To deploy a constellation, simply drag and drop the constellation
from the rolodex onto the greenMachine(s).
2
4At the top right of the center area you will nd the “Deploy” button. Once
you have dropped the constellation onto a greenMachine, the “Deploy”
button will be highlighted in two possible colors:
Deploy Green: This indicates that you have all APPs available to deploy the
constellation(s). Simply click the “Deploy“ button.
Deploy Red: This indicates that you are missing at least one APP license that
is required for the constellation(s) you want to deploy. Click the Deploy
button and two things will happen.
1. The constellation will be deployed with all APPs but the outputs will
have a watermark. This way you can evaluate every available APP.
2. The missing APP(s) will be added to the shopping cart.
Click onto the shopping cart and follow the instructions to
purchase the missing APPs.

LOCAL CONTROL AND MONITORING
The greenMachine callisto has a local control panel which can be used to fully
operate and monitor the module when used stand-alone.
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 view
an input and output signals overview on the display. Press the “Signals” button
repeatedly to toggle between different information pages.
“Inputs“ Button
Press the “Inputs” button to:
1. See more detailed information for all input signals.
2. Illuminate the signal buttons (e.g. SDI 1, SDI 2, Fiber, HDMI, etc.) with colors
according to the input signals status.
Detailed Signal Information
To get detailed information for a specic input signal, press the correlating signal
button (e.g. SDI 1) when in “Inputs” mode and the display will show detailed
information for this input. Pressing the same signal button repeatedly to toggle
between different signal information pages.

7
“Outputs“ Button
Select the “Outputs” button for monitoring based on
the output signals instead of the input signals.
Processing Conguration
Access and control the conguration 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
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 conguration, 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.
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.
