This is a very different product, a100% Constellatiion driven appliance.
To assign a greenMachine to a particular function simply select and deploy the predefined, pre-loaded constellation and apply the required license on that greenMachine. It is possible to change any greenMachine to a different function by switching between licensed constellations at any time without restriction. Licensed constellations will immediately be fully functional.
All current constellations are present in the greenMachine when delivered. New additional (unlicensed) constellations can be acquired as they are published as an integral part of the greenMachine firmware updates from the LYNX Technik website. Registered users will be notified by email when updates are available. All constellations can be deployed for full functional testing even without a license, with all parameter adjustments and signal processing, but unlicensed constellations will show a watermark on the video output. If required, licenses can then be purchased. (Unlicensed watermarking shown below)
The audio channels embedded in the output video and the external audio channels will also be watermarked with a 1 kHz test tone every 20 seconds.
Deploying Constellations with the local Control Panel
The front control panel allows the complete configuration of the greenMachine module including the deployment of constellations.
Deployment of constellations can be done in the System menu. To select the System menu, just press the button next to the display. Then select the General menu.
Note: 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.
There are two different shapes for the menu items. The square boxes are menus containing at least one additional menu level. When selected, the middle part of the display will show a preview of which settings and/or menus are available within this menu. Pressing the encoder will enter the selected menu. Pressing the Back button below the encoder will return to the higher menu level.
Select the constellation you would like to deploy form the list in the display and press the rotary button.
Note: The hexagon shaped items are parameters. When one of these menu items is selected, the middle area of the display will show the type of parameter and the current setting.
To edit the parameter, press the encoder. When in edit mode, turn the encoder to select the setting required. To exit the edit mode, press either the encoder or the Back button.
Deploying Constellations with the greenGUI
The greenMachine can be used as a stand-alone module or it can be fully controlled by the greenGUI Windows and Mac desktop application. When part of a greenUniverse, each greenMachine can also be configured locally.

Please Download the latest greenGUI in order to configure and control greenMachine from PC/Notebook.
Once the greenGUI is installed, go as following:
1. Run greenGUI and click the Universe Tab >> Constellations Tab.
2. Select a greenMachine in Device Rolodex on the Left
3. Select a pre-defined Constellation from the List on the right side in (Constellation Rolodex)
4. Drag and drop the Constellation to the greenMachine
5. The greenMachine will then have a thick blinking colored border and the Deploy button on the top right of the Universe canvas will also be colored (see image below).
6. Click the Deploy button to finalize the deployment
If the required license has been purchased, the border and the Deploy button will be green and the Deploy button can be clicked to finalize the license installation. If a constellation licensed is not available in the greenUniverse, the border and the Deploy button will be red. This red color warns you that on deployment, the outputs of this greenMachine will be watermarked, and/or that a license needs to be released or purchased.
