  • BEM-1-H, BrightEye Mitto 3G, 3G/HD/SD Scan Converter w/HDCP Support

    Use BrightEye Mitto™ BEM-1-H to deliver DVI, HDMI, and VGA sources to 3G, HD and SD SDI video resolutions. 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 3G, 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!

    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.

    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 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.
    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 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.
