  • BrightEye 72 SDI to HDMI Converter, Color Corrector and Broadcast Confidence Monitor

    Combine the BrightEye 72 SDI to HDMI converter with any HDMI monitor for high-end display applications in broadcast and post. Color correction and temperature adjustments are made easy with the front panel and computer controls. Open captions, timecode and audio presence can be displayed on your monitor giving you confidence your signal is correct.

    BrightEye 72 accepts an SD, 1.5 Gb/s HD or 3 Gb/s HD SDI digital signal and outputs HDMI.

    Front panel controls include: complete proc amp, built-in test signals for use in aligning the monitor, graticule, H/V pulse delay, on screen audio VU meters, timecode burn in, AFD indicator and open caption decoding.

    BrightEye 72 can display open captions on any HDMI video monitor. 608 or 708 caption data is decoded and displayed on-screen.

    Audio presence is reported and on-screen VU meters show all 16 audio channels. If audio or Dolby E are embedded on the SDI input, audio is passed through on the HDMI output.

    Horizontal and vertical split modes provide an easy way to see data in the vertical and horizontal intervals, including audio and closed caption data blocks.

    A special Mirror Flip Output mode can be enabled, causing the output image to be flipped left to right for use with on-camera talent. Open captions are displayed correctly when Mirror mode is selected.

    Use BrightEye 72 in studio applications where you need to adjust the color temperature of on-set monitors so they look right on-camera.

    For facilities using 3G, the issue of monitoring the signal becomes a challenge. The BrightEye 72 provides a convenient way to monitor any type of digital video signal.

    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 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 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.
