BrightEye 55 Genlockable Sync Generator and Test Signal Generator

BrightEye 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 16 SDI to Analog Video Converter with Frame Sync/Genlock and Audio DisembedderBrightEye 16 is a digital to analog video converter with a timeable output. It’s perfect for feeding analog switchers and routers, where signal timing is required. It’s also a disembedder and provides four analog audio outputs. With timing controls, proc adjustments, and a built-in audio mixer, BrightEye 16 provides a complete solution for digital to analog conversion. BrightEye 16 has an SDI video input and a reference input. The input signal is converted to analog composite and synchronized (genlocked) to the reference signal. The analog composite output is fully timed with respect to the reference, including ScH phase. Audio is disembedded with 24 bit precision and converted to analog. Basic controls are accessed on the front panel. Use the BrightEye Control app to access video proc controls and the built-in audio mixer. The vertical interval can be passed or blanked. VU indication is provided on the front panel and BrightEye Control.
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.
BrightEye 71 & 71-F HD/SD 8 Channel Analog Audio Embedder/DisembedderThe BrightEye 71 is a dual rate eight channel analog audio embedder or disembedder for 1.5Gb/s high definition video signals or for 270Mb/s standard definition signals. The analog audio ports automatically configure as inputs or outputs depending if the module is configured as mux or demux. When configured as a multiplexer, the BrightEye 71 has one serial digital video input and eight analog audio inputs. The audio streams are embedded into the video stream. The output of the module is a digital stream that contains the original video and audio signals. When configured as a demultiplexer, audio signals present in the incoming video signal are extracted and delivered as analog audio. The BrightEye 71 includes an eight channel audio mixer with channel swap and shuffle capability that allows you to completely re-arrange and re-mix 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. Order the BrightEye 71-F if you need an optical output.
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.
