This is a live demonstration of LYYN real-time video enhancement. For demonstration purposes we have selected a lyynification window in the image, showing the un-enhanced original video on the outside of that window.

In July LYYN delivered a Hawk System to IKEA/MEGA in Ekaterinburg. All IKEA/MEGA sites rely on extensive video surveillance and LYYN’s technology for real-time video image enhancement will be used for low-light camera deployments as well as parking lot entrance surveillance.

“LYYN’s technology will enable us to monitor the incoming and outgoing traffic whatever the weather and lighting conditions,” says Michael Nilsson, IKEA/MEGA Shopping Centre Manager in Ekaterinburg. “We’ve tested the technology for some time – the results were good and we are happy to have found a LYYN product that is compatible with the original system.”

”The response of the market to our unique real-time image enhancement technique continues to be positive, and today we have more than 500 hundred satisfied users throughout the world. We’re very pleased that a IKEA/MEGA site in Russia is deploying the Hawk System.” says Bengt Sahlberg, LYYN’s CEO.

LYYN Hawk System is the
19” rack-mounted, real-time LYYN
solution for analog CCTV systems

Each video frame is optimized for contrast and color spectrum to make it as “natural” as possible to the human eye. Even the smallest fragments of color and object shape can be extracted from the camera sensor. And all this is done in real-time.

The result is an image that constantly self-adjusts to the environment, and you can focus on mission objectives.

One viewer – many cameras
By installing the LYYN Hawk System together with a video switch it is possible to add LYYN to the whole system. The operator can choose and switch any camera through the unit, providing lyynification™ wherever it is needed.

Cost efficient
Instead of installing more enhanced cameras you only need one LYYN Hawk System per simultaneous viewing channel. A simple system upgrade bringing a powerful result to the whole system.

Video standards
PAL 625-line 25 fps or NTSC 525-line 30 fps, autosensing of format. Standard composite or S-video (separate luminance and chrominance), with BNC connectors.

Video synchronization
LYYN Hawk System has three video synchronization modes. The video output can be synchronized to the video input, an external synchronization signal on a separate micro connector can be used or an Time Based Corrected signal can be obtained by controlling the delay.

Simple integration
LYYN Hawk System is controlled remotely. It can be easily integrated into operator consoles through three different control interfaces:

• RS 232
• USB 2.0
• Ethernet (RJ45) either using Telnet or an internal web server

Some sample clips with post-processed video that speak for themselves. In any situation where you need a clear view, you need LYYN.:

Last week, LYYN delivered the first LYYN Hawk Systems to the Ontario Police Force in Canada and the Öresund Bridge Company in Sweden. LYYN’s technique for real-time video image enhancement will be used for traffic control in both cases.

“LYYN’s technique will enable us to monitor the traffic on the Öresund Bridge whatever the weather and lighting conditions,” says Johan Nord, System Manager Technical Operations, of the Öresund Bridge. “We’ve tested the technique for some time – the results were very good and we’re delighted that LYYN has developed a product that is compatible with our monitoring systems.”

”The response of the market to our unique real-time image enhancement technique continues to be positive, and today we have 400 satisfied users throughout the world. We’re very pleased that the Öresund Bridge and the Ontario Police have agreed to be our reference clients, as this will facilitate our breakthrough in this new market segment,” says Bengt Sahlberg, LYYN’s CEO.
