BrightEye 2 Analog to SDI Converter

BrightEye 2 provides uncompromised analog to digital video conversion of component and composite video. Analog inputs are digitized at 12 bits of resolution with 4x oversampling. Composite video is processed through an adaptive comb filter decoder. PAL / NTSC input detection is automatic.

Input selection and gain adjustment is made from the front panel. A status display provides an input presence indication. Video levels can be adjusted through the BrightEye Control app.

Supporting both Beta and SMPTE component, composite, and Y/C formats, BrightEye 2 adapts to many conversion needs.

Use BrightEye 2 to digitize analog VTRs and cameras.

BrightEye 10 Optical/SDI to Analog/SDI ConverterBrightEye 10 is a digital to analog video converter with both SD SDI (electrical) and fiber optic inputs. Output formats include Beta and SMPTE component, RGB, and composite (with simultaneous Y/C). Video processing, encoding and analog conversion is performed digitally at 12 bits of resolution with 8 x oversampling. Front panel controls select between the optical and SDI input, choose the analog output format, and adjust gain. Video levels can be adjusted through the BrightEye Control app. The reclocked SD SDI output follows the input selector, providing optical to electrical conversion when the optical input is selected. BrightEye 10 combines fiber to SD SDI conversion and QC monitoring in one compact unit.
BrightEye 57 3G/HD/SD/Analog Test Signal and Sync Pulse GeneratorBrightEye 57 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 57 is well suited for remote trucks, post, helicopters and fly packs. 1.5 Gb/s HD, 3 Gb/s HD or SD SDI test signals or black with embedder is output on the SDI BNCs. Composite, Tri-Level Sync and AES digital audio outputs are also provided. There are three user Programmable Outputs that are selectable between AES, LTC, Word clock or 6 Hz Pulse. Analog audio and AES outputs provide tone or silence. Color Black, Bars, Crosshatch, Multi-burst, and SDI Checkfield (Pathogenic) are just some of the signals simultaneously available on the SDI and analog composite outputs. The Cyclops feature adds a motion element to the selected video test signal. An ID slate with user programmable text can overlay the test pattern. The internal Time Code Generator feeds DVITC on the SDI outputs and VITC on the composite outputs, Time Code can also be selected in LTC form on the programmable Aux outputs. In addition to the standard suite of test patterns, users can create custom test patterns on a computer. Using BrightEye Pattern Generator software, simply transfer test patterns to the included Secure Digital flash memory card and then insert the memory card into the front of the BrightEye 57. Test patterns can include motion. File formats supported: .tga, .wav, .mp3, .wma. Many controls can be adjusted through the intuitive front panel. The BrightEye Control app provides a complete user interface for all adjustments and controls. For facilities and manufacturers using 3 Gb/s video, BrightEye units can be combined to form a complete 3G signal chain. The BrightEye 57 test signal generator’s 3G output can be distributed through the BrightEye 43 3G distribution amplifier or the BrightEye 46 and BrightEye 48 E/O 3G fiber optical transmitter/receiver set.
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.
