  • Avenue 7550 HD Legalizer

    The 7550 module is an HD Legalizer that supports high definition or standard definition digital video. When the Legalizer is enabled, the picture is processed on a pixel by pixel basis to be within legal limits for RGB requirements.
    Altenatively, the Y, Cr, Cb legalizer provides controls for white clip, and black clip and chroma limiting.

    Flexible Synchronization

    An infinitely adjustable timing system genlocks to your house reference. The 7550 genlocks to either composite video (PAL or NTSC) or to Tri-Level Sync. The module can lock to the frame’s master reference or reference can be connected directly to the module’s external reference BNC. The serial output timing can be set anywhere within a frame of the selected input reference, which can be the module’s external BNC reference or the frame’s master timing reference.

    Upon loss of signal, the 7550 provides freeze frame or black until the signal is recovered. In freeze mode, audio can be muted or passed as desired.

    Uncompromised Pictures

    The HD or SD SDI input is carried at full, uncompressed bandwidth throughout the entire module, and EDH monitoring of the digital input alerts you to any incoming problem. EDH detection, monitoring and insertion are standard on the 7550. Flags are reported through Avenue PC.

    Complete Proc Amp Functions

    The 7550 has a full-featured Proc Amp for adjustment of every signal parameter. Proc controls include Video and Chroma Gain, NTSC-style hue rotation, Black Balance, and Pedestal.

    Audio Tracking

    The 8415 Audio Processing option can be added to the 7550 module. The 8415 is an eight-channel processor that has been designed to provide superior handling of embedded audio. Embedded audio is safely bypassed around the video framestore with the lip sync properly preserved.

    Total Control

    Every function and parameter on the 7550 and 8415 can be controlled from an Express Panel, Avenue Touch Panel, or the Avenue PC Control Application. Memory registers can be used to save the complete configuration of the module, making it easy to change instantly between different configurations.

    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 70 HD/SD AES Embedder/DisembedderThe BrightEye 70 is a dual rate eight channel audio embedder or disembedder for 1.5Gb/s high definition video signals or for 270Mb/s standard definition signals. Four AES ports automatically configure as inputs or outputs depending if the module is configured as mux or demux. When configured as a multiplexer, the BrightEye 70 has one serial digital video input and four AES audio inputs. These four AES streams are embedded into the video stream. AES inputs are sample rate converted, allowing the use of asynchronous audio. The output of the module is a digital stream that contains the original video signal and four AES pairs. When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming video signal are extracted and delivered as standard AES digital audio streams. The BrightEye 70 includes an eight channel audio mixer with channel swap and shuffle capability that allows you to completely rearrange and remix audio channels. It provides precise control over audio level, with up to 12 dB of gain to compensate for low level sources. All audio processing is performed at full 24 bit resolution by a digital signal processor (DSP). Delay is adjustable up to one second. The Data mode operation allows embedding or disembedding of Dolby E or AC3 signals.
    BrightEye 55 Genlockable Sync Generator and Test Signal GeneratorBrightEye 55 is a genlockable sync generator and test signal generator that can be used as either a slave or master reference generator. It can lock to house reference or it can lock to its own internal precision standard. BrightEye 55 is well suited for remote trucks, desktop and fly packs. Color Black, Bars, Crosshatch, Multi-burst, and SDI Checkfield (Pathological) are just some of the signals simultaneouslyavailable on the SDI and analog composite outputs. An ID slate with user programmable text can overlay the test pattern. The cyclops feature adds a motion element to the video test signal, handy for live applications. The Tri-Level Sync output provides reference to high definition equipment, such as VTRs, disc recorders and workstations. There are a wide variety of user selectable formats including: 720p, 1080i, 1080sF, and 1080p. Format selections and other controls are accessed through the BrightEye Control app. AES 3id digital audio, analog audio and embedded audio reference outputs are provided.
    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.
