    BrightEye 30 Audio ADC and DACBrightEye 30 is a flexible audio converter that can be a two channel, bi-directional ADC and DAC, or it can be configured as a four channel converter. Perfect in desktop, post and broadcast applications, 24 bit processing ensures beautiful audio. As a bi-directional converter, two channels of analog audio are converted to AES digital audio and at the same time an AES stream is converted to two channels of analog. Alternately, the unit can be configured as a four channel AES to analog converter or a four channel analog to AES converter. BrightEye 30 also serves as a sample rate converter. For example, a digital 44.1 KHz signal from a CD player can be fed to the input and a digital AES3id, 48 KHz signal synchronous to the reference input will be output. Audio mixing, level adjustments, and channel shuffling are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. A variety of audio connectors and adapters are available for integrating BrightEye 30 to any type of system. A reference input is provided which allows digital outputs to be synchronized to either a PAL or NTSC video signal or AES reference.
    BrightEye 24 SDI to Analog Converter and DisembedderBrightEye 24 is both a disembedder (demultiplexer) and a digital to analog video converter. The incoming serial digital video signal is converted to an analog composite output. Audio signals present in the incoming digital video signal are extracted and delivered as four channels of analog audio. Audio mixing, level adjustments, and channel shuffling 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 24 to any type of system. Use BrightEye 24 in desktop and broadcast applications.
    BrightEye 41 Video/AES/Tri-Level Sync Distribution AmplifierBrightEye 41 is a distribution amplifier that accepts analog video, AES digital audio, or Tri-Level Sync signal. It can also be used with SMPTE 310M, Dolby E and AC-3 signals. It provides unity gain fanout over a frequency range of DC to 10 MHz. It can handle composite and component analog video, coaxial AES digital audio, or a High Definition Tri-Level Sync signal. When using a digital to analog video converter and multiple outputs are needed, BrightEye 41 can be used to distribute and provide those additional output signals. BrightEye 41 works well with video converters BrightEye 10 and BrightEye 16. BrightEye 41 is also useful in conjunction with any of the BrightEye SPG/TSGs, for distributing Tri-Level Sync, AES and composite signals.
