Burk Releases Lynx 5 Software

Burk Technology is shipping new Lynx 5 software for the GSC3000 and VRC2500 transmitter remote control systems.
The company said the software introduces a feature for the remote management of broadcast facilities, networks and groups – most notably, the addition of real-time data updates.
“The remote control hardware now sends condition changes to the PC immediately upon detection instead of waiting for the software to periodically poll for updates,” according to Burk. “This is the first time the GSC3000 and VRC2500 systems have offered this feature.”
Also new are a charting tool, which provides an on-screen historical view of multiple analog channels; a set of U.S. maps now included in the Custom Views utility, and other options for creating customized screens with detailed data depiction; and a retooled Data Browser function for quick access to logged site data without requiring the user to set up a new report.
President Peter Burk said current users could still download Lynx 4 free from the company Web site, or buy the upgrade and use the new features in version 5.
Lynx 5 becomes the standard GSC3000 and VRC2500 software; current users buying new units can integrate the new version at no extra cost. Lynx 5 also is available from dealers as a software-only upgrade.
