LYNX Multi-Format Receiver & Decoder The Vislink LYNX Receiver is the highest-performing, feature-rich SD/HD diversity receiver available for Central Receive Site (ENG/OB) and Wireless Camera System (WCS) applications. Utilizing Vislink’s core technologies, the LYNX receiver combines leading-edge MaxRC digital signal processing, with highly configurable FPGA circuitry, providing an abundance of user selectable features, all in one streamlined half width 1 RU rack-mount chassis.
It accepts up to four RF signal inputs, with superior sensitivity and adjacent channel performance, producing reliable and comprehensive coverage for any ENG/OB or wireless camera venue. An optional packet switching feature permits additional LYNX receivers to be “joined” together, thereby creating a diversity “cellular” network. This revolutionary concept for ENG and OB receive operations reduces the complexities and operating costs of today’s economically challenged businesses. A powerful, yet simple to operate, web-based graphical user interface (GUI) provides complete remote control and monitoring for the receiver by means of an integrated Ethernet/SNMP (RJ45) interface, further reducing capital equipment expenditures by eliminating the need for expensive third party remote control systems. Vislink’s proprietary LMS-T and Deep-Interleaving demodulation are available options that will further enhance the already stellar operating performance of the LYNX receiver. Additional, licensable options include MPEG-2 HD (high definition) 4:2:0/4:2:2 video, MPEG-4 (8/10-bit 4:2:0/4:2:2 video), and BISS-1 & E/AES descrambling. The LYNX can also be configured as a diversity receiver/demodulator with ASI output, and as a MPEG-2/H.264 video/audio decoder. The Vislink News & Entertainment LYNX series is a complete suite of units aimed at high quality or versatile contribution links. The range includes HD and SD Video Encoders, DVB-S, DVB-S.2, DVB-T and LMS-T Modulators, IP Satellite Modems, Diversity Receivers, IRDs and associated units. All LYNX units utilise the versatile Vislink 19”x1RU half rack width housing for compactness and extremely light weight. This packaging has proved its worth in the portable applications where these type of units are typically deployed.
