greenMachine

4K/UHD/12G Multi Purpose Processing Platform

The reconfigurable greenMachine is the latest, constellation-based video & audio processing platform. The FPGA processing unit has a specialized set of inputs and outputs and is able to operate at high efficiency processing power with low energy.

Thanks to different constellations (configuration of processing features), the greenMachine can be utilised in a variety of applications. It can be used as a stand-alone processor or a system processor, controlled and monitored by either the greenGUI software or third party software.

Various constellations (configurations) include:

  • BIDI Transport : Bi-directional transport
  • FrameSync Quad : 4x3Gbit/s frame synchronizer
  • HDR Evie : Dynamic HDR > SDR converter
  • HDR Static : HDR <> SDR converter
  • Testor : 4K/UHD or 4 channel up to 3G SDI video/audio test signal generator
