Introduction
This quick reference guide provides information related to the greenMachine HDR Static initial setup and configuration. The greenMachine
HDR Static, 1 RU half 19" rackmount, is a real-time broadcast-quality HDR to SDR, SDR to HDR, or cross-standards HDR to HDR
converter with frame sync supporting formats up to 4K UHD (3840x2160). HDR Static applies color and contrast parameters equally
throughout a specific piece of content, i.e. an average brightness/color range is determined across an entire program.
HDR Static greenMachine processor has an advanced algorithm that overcomes the issues arising from "round-tripping" SDR>HDR>SDR.
The SDR signal at the production end and the distribution end of the round trip are visually identical, making the whole SDR>HDR>SDR
conversion process transparent. Supporting 4 x 3G or 1x 4K/UHD processing channel, HDR Static provides up, down, and cross-
conversions in HDR and SDR curves through appropriate static tone mapping. It also supports Wide Color Gamut (WCG) needs of
broadcasters, and professional AV live events requirement. HDR Static is most suitable for the environments outdoor/ indoor where the
light conditions do not change dynamically.
This Quick Reference Guide is designed to help you setup greenMachine HDR Static and provides the step-by-step instructions to
configure your HDR Static constellation to achieve the best possible up/down/cross conversion between HDR and SDR for your
operations. For additional information, please refer to the "HDR Static Reference Manual."
