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.
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.
