control room. It has six network
inputs plus two SDI/HDMI inputs,
including one analogue input. The
switcher accepts MPEG-2, H.264
and other streaming formats and
provides SDI, HDMI, analogue, and
streaming outputs. It includes multilayer 3D motion graphics character
generation with templates to simplify
lower-thirds,
bugs,
animations,
rolls, crawls, and effects. Other tools
include eight channels of clips and
graphics, three keyers with DVEs,
programme recording, file-based
macros, chromakey, virtual sets and

LYNX Technik launches yellobrik
8K Fibre Transmission Solution
L

YNX Technik, a provider of
modular signal processing
interfaces, has announced
its new 8K yellobrik fibre
transmission solution.
The LYNX Technik yellobrik
(model: OTR 1A41) 8K fibre
transmission system solves the
challenge of transporting realtime, uncompressed 8K content
(up to 48G) over long distances
with zero signal degradation or
loss. The standalone, self-contained
kit includes all the parts needed to
send 8K uncompressed video over
a single fibre link. It consists of
four independent 12G/6G/3G/HD/
SD-SDI channels with each channel
individually reclocked and supporting
resolutions up to 2160p/60Hz. The kits
include the 8K optical transmitter, 8K
optical receiver and power supply.
The new OTR 1A41 8K fibre
transmission solution can also be
combined with existing yellobrik
bi-directional transceivers to add
Ethernet signals or RS232/RS422/

LYNX Technik yellobrik (model: OTR 1A41) 8K fibre transmission system

RS485 signals to the 8K fibre link.
This
new
yellobrik
supports
uncompressed video at full 7680x4320
50/59.94/60 Hz resolutions with
zero delay and complements LYNX
Technik's existing 4K transmission
solutions, the OTR 1442 and OTR 1441.
Full audio support makes this 8K
transmission set a fully-featured
solution. The modules transparently
transport all embedded audio,
metadata and ancillary data which
is present in each of the four
independent SDI streams.

This system can be used as
standalone or mounted onto 19-inch
yellobrik rack trays to build a larger
8K transmission system.
