    BrightEye 90-FA HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with Analog Audio and Optical OutputBrightEye 90-FA is a versatile up/down/cross converter or aspect ratio converter for use with analog and digital video signals with the addition of an optical output. Optical connectivity allows for long cable runs between buildings or in mobile applications. Simply set the BrightEye 90-FA to output your facility’s preferred HD or SD standard. The BrightEye 90-FA will accommodate whatever input you connect analog composite, SD SDI or HD SDI. After setting the output standard, BrightEye 90-FA automatically converts the selected input to the correct standard for your facility. BrightEye 90-FA will upconvert, downconvert, cross convert, or act as an ARC, as needed. The built-in Frame Synchronizer allows you to feed asynchronous signals to the BrightEye 90-FA. An external reference input allows genlock to a house reference. All vertical interval data and closed captioning is faithfully passed. Upconverting to High Definition Feed the analog composite or SD SDI output of a camera to a BrightEye 90-FA and upconvert to HD. You can take the HD signal from the BrightEye 90-FA into a switcher or projection system. Upconverting existing SD equipment lets you leverage the equipment you already have and operate in the HD domain. While some cameras may have firewire out, using the video output and upconverting before distribution is preferable since longer cable runs can be achieved and quality is superior. Additionally, the BrightEye 90-FA’s reference input allows you to time the upconverted video output for use with a production switcher. Downconverting to Standard Definition BrightEye 90-FA will downconvert any type of HD signal and provides both an SD SDI and an analog composite output suitable for broadcast or monitoring. Cross Conversion It’s easy to convert between various HD standards, whether 720p or 1080i. Simply select the output standard you need and connect the input, that’s all there is to it. Aspect Ratio Conversion For converting between SD 4:3 and HD 16:9, BrightEye 90-FA has you covered. Just select the output standard you need and connect the input. Audio Processing Made Simple BrightEye 90-FA handles both embedded audio and eight channels of analog audio. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 90-FA. If the incoming video has embedded audio, the audio will be safely bypassed around the video processing and lipsync will be preserved. Audio mixing is available for two of the four embedded groups of audio. The analog audio I/O ports can be configured for eight channels of incoming audio or for eight channels of audio output. The audio mixer can be used for analog audio as well. Mixer controls are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. Monitoring for Video and Audio Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 90-FA’s convenient 3.5mm mini jack. Select the audio channels you want to monitor from the front panel and plug in a headset. The HDMI connector on the rear of the unit provides a future proof monitoring interface. Plug it into most LCD monitors for confidence monitoring of your feed. Front Panel and Software Control Input selection, gain control, and test patterns control are provided through the front panel interface. Audio presence LEDs indicate which channels are detected. Controls for crop, letterbox and pillarbox are accessed from the front panel or the BrightEye Control software. Video and audio levels and the audio mixer can be adjusted through BrightEye Control.
    BrightEye 20 Analog and Digital Audio Embedder or DisembedderBrightEye 20 is a versatile audio Mux/Demux. With SDI video I/O, and both analog and AES I/O, it is field configurable for embedding or disembedding. When configured as a multiplexer, BrightEye 20 has one serial digital video input and two AES digital audio inputs. Alternately, the 4 channel analog audio input can be used. The audio is embedded into the 601 video stream. The output is a serial digital video stream that contains the original video plus the two AES streams or four analog audio channels. When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming serial digital video signal are extracted and delivered simultaneously as two AES digital audio streams and as four analog audio channels. Audio mixing, level adjustments, and channel shuffling can be applied to both the multiplexer and demultiplexer modes, and are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. Audio group selection is also made through BrightEye Control. A variety of audio connectors and adapters are available for integrating BrightEye 20 to any type of system.
    BrightEye Control SoftwareBrightEye Control allows you to access all of the controls in your BrightEye devices. Adjust video levels, output timing and audio mixing and more. No DIP switches or button hold-downs are needed. Firmware updates, with feature enhancements and bug fixes, are provided for the lifetime of your BrightEye device. Install them with ease from your Mac or PC using BrightEye Control. The BrightEye Control software is included with each BrightEye at no charge. Version History BrightEye Control Mac 3.1.0 Built for Intel x86 64-bit. Compatible with Apple Silicon Macs via emulation. Compatible with macOS 10.15+ BrightEye Control 3.0.2 Further improvements to connection reliability, especially with older BrightEye devices. Fixes issue with recalling saved settings on units with memory registers. Previously, recalling the saved settings could trigger memory register recalls. You can now set string controls to “”, which allows you to properly remove a feature license. Fixes several crashes related to connecting and disconnecting BrightEye devices. Other small fixes and enhancements. BrightEye Control 3.0.1 Improved Connection Reliability Fixed problem where updating BrightEye firmware was sometimes slow. BrightEye Control 3.0.0 Replaces BrightEye Mac and BrightEye PC. Improved user interface to make controlling BrightEye devices easier than ever. BrightEye devices now show up in the interface automatically, no need to manually refresh. Improved performance when controlling many BrightEye devices. Support for HiDPI and “Retina” displays. Fixed issues with firmware updates on newer Windows PC’s. Many other bug fixes and enhancements.
    BrightEye 11 SD SDI to Analog ConverterBrightEye 11 provides digital to analog video conversion with the full range of analog output formats available: Beta, SMPTE, RGB, and composite (with simultaneous Y/C). 12 bit processing and conversion at 8 x oversampling mean the best looking images possible. Output format and gain are controlled from the front panel. A status display indicates input presence. Video levels can be adjusted through the BrightEye Control app. BrightEye 11 is the perfect choice to feed monitors, VTRs, or video projectors.
