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 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 90-F HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with AES Audio and Optical OutputBrightEye 90-F 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-F to output your facility’s preferred HD or SD standard. The BrightEye 90-F will accommodate whatever input you connect analog composite, SD SDI or HD SDI. After setting the output standard, BrightEye 90-F automatically converts the selected input to the correct standard for your facility. BrightEye 90-F 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-F. 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-Fand upconvert to HD. You can take the HD signal from the BrightEye 90-F 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-F’s reference input allows you to time the upconverted video output for use with a production switcher. Downconverting to Standard Definition BrightEye 90-F 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-F has you covered. Just select the output standard you need and connect the input. Audio Processing Made Simple BrightEye 90-F handles both embedded audio and discreet AES digital audio streams. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 90-F. 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 AES 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 AES channels as well. Mixer controls are accessed through BrightEye Control Software. Monitoring for Video and Audio Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 90-F’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. Crop, letterbox and pillarbox can all be adjusted from the front panel. For more control, BrightEye Control Software provides controls for proc, audio mixing, and other advanced controls.
