  • Avenue 5120 & 5125 Dual Digital Video Distribution Amplifiers

    The 5120 Dual Serial DA Module is a two channel digital video distribution amplifier with four outputs per channel. The 5125 is a Reclocking Dual Serial DA Module. Both modules offer cost-effective distribution as each does double duty.

    The 5120 is a nonprocessing DA with cable equalization and signal detection.

    The 5125 reclocks the serial data stream, thereby improving jitter performance of the outputs where the input has jitter.

    Both the 5120 and 5125 can be used to distribute any of the following data rates: 143 Mb/s, 177 Mb/s, 270 Mb/s, and 360 Mb/s. Both DA modules can be controlled through an Avenue Control panels and through Avenue PC.

    BrightEye 90-A HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with Analog AudioBrightEye 90-A is a versatile up/down/cross converter or aspect ratio converter for use with analog and digital video signals. Simply set the BrightEye 90-A to output your facility’s preferred HD or SD standard. The BrightEye 90-A will accommodate whatever input you connect – analog composite, SD SDI or HD SDI. After setting the output standard, BrightEye 90-A automatically converts the selected input to the correct standard for your facility. BrightEye 90-A 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-A. 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-A and upconvert to HD. You can take the HD signal from the BrightEye 90-A 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-A’s reference input allows you to time the upconverted video output for use with a production switcher. Downconverting to Standard Definition BrightEye 90-A 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-A has you covered. Just select the output standard you need and connect the input. Audio Processing Made Simple BrightEye 90-A handles both embedded audio and eight channels of analog audio. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 90-A. 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 Software. Monitoring for Video and Audio Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 90-A’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 pattern controls 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 BrightEye Mac or PC software. Video and audio levels and the audio mixer can be adjusted through BrightEye Mac or PC software.
    BrightEye 30-D Audio ADC and DAC Bi-directional Converter with DelayBrightEye 30-D 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-D 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, channel shuffling and delay are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. Audio delay adjustments simplify signal integration. A variety of audio connectors and adapters are available for integrating BrightEye 30-D 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.
    BEM-2-H, BrightEye Mitto HD, HD/SD Scan Converter w/ HDCP SupportUse BrightEye Mitto™ HD BEM-2-H to deliver DVI, HDMI, and VGA sources to HD and SD SDI destinations. Ensemble Designs’ proprietary scaling and filtering technology ensures that Mitto always produces a pristine, detailed video output. Even the most demanding CGI material is faithfully rendered to television. YouTube, Zoom, Tik-Tok, and Everything Else Made Easy Take just about any source to HD or SD SDI video. Computer video can now be used for the most demanding applications including broadcast, high-end military, medical, classroom, church and corporate. Just a small part of the screen, such as a Tik-Tok video, can be selected with a mouse and converted to full screen HD. Mitto delivers the best looking video – compare Mitto to any other scan converter and see the difference! Choose the Functionality You Need Choose the best combination of features and price for your application. Eight different Mitto units offer varying types of outputs and capabilities. All Mitto units accept VGA, DVI and HDMI input signals from PC and Mac computers. HDCP is not a Problem; Many systems now require HDCP for video playback, regardless of content licensing. BEM-2-H can handle HDCP encrypted content with the added BEM-HDCP option. Muting Disable available with the purchase of option BEM-HDCP license and signed waiver. BrightEye Control Software Using BrightEye control software, you can easily time BrightEye Mitto into a video production switcher or router. From your desktop, you have complete and intuitive control of video format, video levels, output timing, mixing audio channels, and audio delay. Pristine, Detailed Video Output A superior quality scan converter, BrightEye Mitto has the advantage of proprietary scaling technology and exclusive multi-tap filtering. Even a small part of the computer screen, such as a YouTube video, will be upconverted to full screen HD. The region selected for output determines if Mitto acts as an up converter or downconverter. The output looks as good, or better, than the original and passes the most stringent testing. Easy To Use Use the Selection Tool in BrightEye Control to select what portion of the screen you want to output. The Selection Tool floats over the content on your display, showing the portion of the video that will be output from BrightEye Mitto. Use Your Mouse To Select What is Output to Video Use your mouse to click and drag over the specific portion of computer video that you want to output. The perspective of seeing the whole screen relative to your selection gives you the ability to choose exactly which portion of the video you want to scan convert for output. Resize the selection window by clicking and dragging with your mouse. Mitto’s video output automatically goes to pillarbox or letterbox as needed. Mitto automatically maintains perfect aspect ratio. Digital and Analog Video and Audio The intuitive front panel interface makes it easy to choose the desired video output format. The genlock reference input allows the video outputs to be timed to house. Audio can be input through the DVI (or HDMI with adapter) input, or the 3.5mm audio input. The audio input accepts analog audio or AES digital audio. Audio is embedded into the SDI outputs – which is required for many high end applications. Audio delay controls let you adjust the audio timing with respect to video for perfect lip sync, which is crucial when using Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams video in a production environment.
