LYNX Technik to launch greenMachine Static HDR Converter

At this year’s NAB Show, LYNX Technik AG® will be launching a static HDR/SDR Converter for its greenMachine processing platform.

The greenMachine Static HDR provides a powerful conversion and processing tool that will ensure the rich and high dynamic range imagery and enhanced color gamut captured by HDR cameras gets successfully delivered to the viewing audience.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is important in today’s modern workflow as it offers viewers enhanced contrast and increased brightness plus more vibrant color, creating a superior image to current standard HD and 4K UHD signals. Not only does the greenMachine HDR static conversion solution provide this enhanced viewing experience, it also allows users to mix SDR and HDR production in a single real-time workflow.

HDR-Evie-Conversion-Diagrams

Through sophisticated algorithms and the automated application of color and contrast corrections, the adaptive and universal greenMachine HDR Converter supports real-time static HDR conversion between SDR and HDR, HDR and SDR, and between different HDR standards delivering greatly enhanced images.

The greenMachine HDR Converter operates in both single channel (12G SDI 4K UHD) and 4-channel mode (3G SDI 1080p). Furthermore, it provides video frame synchronization, full audio support and 4K/UHD up/down conversion with cross-conversion also being available in the 4K single channel mode.

The included CustomControl software driven by the greenGUI interface offers a simplified control interface and all color and contrast parameters in the HDR conversion process. greenMachine HDR is compatible with greenMachine titan 4-channel hardware and, like all greenMachine Constellations (configurations) can be controlled and monitored remotely via third party master control software.

greenMachine for Evie

The greenMachine allows users to pick a configuration based on their immediate application and requirements. Users can try out the flexibility and beauty of the greenMachine HDR Converter experience themselves by installing all fully functional Constellations on their greenMachine, or by visiting LYNX Technik at booth N2827 at NAB 2019.
