Rolls Royce Geared Turbofan / Viarable Pitch Blades

For eons I have said in class that you could never have a variable pitch N1 fan blade, Rolls comes out with this. A Fan system with variable pitch blades.

Could anyone explain how this system could work, what sort of mechanism/governor system would be needed.

Curiosity is killing me.
