    Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 6 of 33...
  • Page 7: Getting Started

    Connect the strap to any solid grounding source such as any exposed metal on the rack chassis or any other unpainted metal surface. Caution Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 Megohms. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 7 of 33...
  • Page 8: Product Description

    The PVD 5400-O is a robust, scalable, and reliable tool for managing high-bandwidth video workflows, providing unparalleled flexibility and performance for modern broadcast applications. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 8 of 33...
  • Page 9: Functional Diagram

    For input signals mismatched with the connected reference frame rate, the synchronizer will show this as an asynchronous source (indicated by a yellow status indication in the GUI) and any output signal derived from this “async” source can show video disturbances. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 9 of 33...
  • Page 10: Input Reference Signal

    "Flywheel" functionality, which intelligently compensates for missing synchronization pulses in the input signal. By accurately predicting the timing of these missing pulses, the module seamlessly restores them, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted output. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 10 of 33...
  • Page 11: Video Processing

    This adjustment will delay the SDI video output, including the embedded audio, relative to the connected reference by the delay setting specified. (+ fixed delay) © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 11 of 33...
  • Page 12: Audio Processing

    PCM Audio using the sample rate converters will be free from any audio interference (“pops and clicks”) when frames are dropped or repeated by the frame synchronizer. Module Layout Module Rear Termination Panels Module Front © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 12 of 33...
  • Page 13: Connections

    Please ensure that the surfaces of fiber cables and LC connectors are always protected against scratching and dust when no fiber cables are connected. Dust and/or scratches will lead to high attenuation of the optical power transmitted. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 13 of 33...
  • Page 14: Installation

    The use of the optional control system is mandatory for the control and setup of this module. If you do not have the control system, then please contact your LYNX representative for details on how to upgrade your installation with the LYNX control system. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 14 of 33...

  • Page 17: Control System Gui

    There are several “Tabs” along the top of the screen which split up the module settings into several logical displays. The various GUI screens and primary functions are described below. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 17 of 33...
  • Page 18: Main Tab

    Functions of the module can be selected by clicking on the tabs on top of the screen or by clicking directly into the respective box (Sync and Video Proc). General Video Settings The first area covers some General setup parameters for the external reference operation. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 18 of 33...
  • Page 19: External Reference Source

    Also, this value will not be restored to 50Hz following a “Restore Factory Defaults” operation, the stored setting will be preserved. The “Current Frequency” area shows the frequency the frame synchronizer is running in currently (useful if the follow last reference selection is made) © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 19 of 33...
  • Page 20 If activated the embedded audio-to-video delay at the output is always minimal. This should be used for clock-synchronized signals only, because the audio is automatically delayed compensating for the AV delay, which can cause audio disturbances with asynchronous sources. © 2025 LYNXTechnik ® Page 20 of 33...
  • Page 21: Input Combo-Box
