Dubai World Trade Center
Oct 5-7, 2026 – Stand: S1-C10, Sheikh Saeed Hall 1.
We’re teaming up with our partner Ideal Systems to showcase our latest yellobriks and wide range of signal processing solutions. Find us at the Ideal Systems stand to see how our tools can supercharge your media workflows.
The LYNX Technik yellobrik CDE 1923 is a bi-directional 3G-SDI to SMPTE ST 2110 converter designed to simplify the integration of SDI and IP infrastructures in hybrid broadcast environments. Ideal for broadcast facilities, outside broadcast (OB) trucks, production studios, and other applications transitioning from baseband SDI to IP, the CDE 1923 provides reliable signal conversion while addressing the synchronization requirements of both technologies.
Building on the proven functionality of the yellobrik CDE 1922 and driven directly by customer feedback, the CDE 1923 retains its core bi-directional SDI-to-IP and IP-to-SDI conversion capabilities while adding dedicated Reference Input and Reference Output connections. These additional interfaces enable the converter to bridge the timing requirements of traditional SDI equipment and SMPTE ST 2110 IP networks within a single compact solution.
“We’re very proud to build upon the existing CDE 1922 platform and respond directly to what our customers have been asking for,” said Vincent Noyer, CTO at LYNX Technik. “By adding Reference Input and Reference Output while maintaining the same compact yellobrik form factor, we’ve been able to make an already versatile converter even more useful. The CDE 1923 gives customers greater flexibility when connecting SDI equipment to an ST 2110 environment, without adding complexity or requiring additional space.”
As broadcasters transition to IP, signal conversion is only part of the challenge. Traditional SDI systems typically rely on a physical reference signal for synchronization, while SMPTE ST 2110 networks use Precision Time Protocol (PTP), as defined by the SMPTE ST 2059 profile. The CDE 1923 provides a practical solution for bringing these two synchronization environments together.
Its Reference Input allows the SDI output to lock directly to a facility’s local reference, providing deterministic alignment with other SDI equipment. This enables the converter to integrate cleanly into an established baseband timing environment.
The Reference Output provides additional flexibility by enabling the converter to generate a Tri-Level Sync output from SMPTE ST 2059 PTP. It can also up-convert an input sync signal to Tri-Level Sync at a higher frame rate, providing a physical reference signal suitable for synchronizing connected SDI equipment.
By combining bi-directional 3G-SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 conversion with flexible reference connectivity, the yellobrik CDE 1923 helps facilities maintain synchronization across both SDI and IP domains. Developed in response to real-world customer requirements, the CDE 1923 provides a straightforward and flexible solution for integrating legacy base-band equipment into modern IP-based production environments.
August 07, 2023 – Weiterstadt, Germany – LYNX Technik is pleased to announce that its action plan to optimize product supply and address supply-chain concerns is on track. The strategic changes will strengthen the company’s position to better serve its customers and global dealer network while continuing its mission to deliver high-quality, purpose-built solutions.
Recent global supply chain concerns resulted in excessive lead times and unplanned component obsolescence which has been very challenging for many manufacturers in the Broadcast and AV industries. This has caused shortages in product availability and long lead times. In the short- term, we were able to address these issues by obtaining key components from brokers, often at greatly inflated prices. We invested heavily in component inventory to ensure an uninterrupted supply of products wherever possible. However, this was only a short-term solution, and some key components are simply not available anymore. This resulted in us having to temporarily remove several yellobrik and Series 5000 products from our portfolio while we redesign to use alternative components which are readily available.
We anticipate being able to reintroduce these products back to the market before the end of this year / early next year. If you have queries about product availability, please reach out to your LYNX Technik sales contact or dealer/representative at https://lynx-technik.com/support/contact-headquarters/ or https://lynx-technik.com/where-to-buy/
We will be exhibiting at IBC 2023 on stand 10.A10. Please feel free to book an appointment at: https://lynx-technik.com/company/contact-us/ or just stop by if you’re attending the show.
Below is a list of products which have been temporarily removed from the market which will be reintroduced at the end of this year / early next year.

CWDM yellobrik Product Names Are Changing – The Products Aren’t
Beginning August 1, we are simplifying the naming of our yellobrik CWDM fiber converters.
This is a naming change only. The features and performance of the products remain the same. The only differences are the product names when ordering and labels on the units.
Going forward, all CWDM-equipped fiber converters will follow a consistent naming convention by adding the “CW” suffix to the standard product model. For example: the OTT 1442 will become OTT 1412 CW. This will simplify the ordering process. The label on the device will simply read OTT 1412. The type of Fiber SFP used in yellobrik modules is always displayed on the yelloGUI and Lynx Centraal user interfaces.
This change simplifies the product catalog and makes it easier to find the right converter with the appropriate fiber SFP option.
Product Name Changes (Effective August 1)
| Previous Model | New Model |
| OET 1544 | OET 1514 CW |
| ODT 1540 | ODT 1510 CW |
| OET 1940 | OET 1910 CW |
| OTR 1840-1 | OTR 1810-1 CW |
| OTR 1440 | OTR 1410 CW |
| OTX 1842 | OTX 1812 CW |
| OTR 1240 | OTR 1210 CW |
| OTX 1440 | OTX 1410 CW |
| OTT 1842-1 | OTT 1812-1 CW |
| OTT 1442 | OTT 1412 CW |
| OTX 1742-2 | OTX 1712 CW |
New Fiber Receiver Options
As part of this update, we’re also introducing dedicated model numbers for yellobrik fiber receivers supplied with High Sensitivity (HS) SFPs. These new model names make it easier to identify and order the correct receiver configuration.
The new models are:
Customers can continue to expect the same reliable performance and compatibility from the yellobrik fiber range. Existing product pages will redirect to the new model names to help make the transition as straightforward as possible. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out: https://lynx-technik.com/contact-us/
The CHD 1402 is designed for any AV, Broadcast, Production, or Post application that requires signal conversion from up to 4K HDMI to up to 12G SDI. It is the successor of the popular CHD 1802, which supports up to 3G SDI.
A typical use case would be when a facility needs to convert an HDMI output from an external source, such as a video camera, into an SDI format. All audio present in the HDMI stream is passed transparently. With the SDI fiber output and SFP transmitter options, the SDI signal can then be transmitted over fiber to a remote location. In addition, a complementary yellobrik, the CDH 1411 SDI to HDMI converter could be used to provide the SDI output and an HDMI monitoring output in the remote location, including displaying audio, metadata, and timecode overlays.
As with all yellobriks, the new CHD 1402 is compatible with the yelloGUI and LynxCentraal central software applications. When connected to the software, additional internal settings and functions can be accessed and controlled. The CDH 1402 is rack-mountable, it can be used as a standalone module, or in larger yellobrik system applications.
This new yellobrik converter is now available.
