    BEM-1-H, BrightEye Mitto 3G, 3G/HD/SD Scan Converter w/HDCP SupportUse 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 NXT 950 4 Channel SDI Frame Sync & U/D/CThe BrightEye NXT 950 Frame Synchronizer packs a lot of features in a tiny package. Frame Synchronization and Format Conversion, with 16 channels of embedded Audio. The NXT 950 has four independent frame synchronizers. Each supports automatic input format detection and conversion to desired output format. Adjust video and chroma gains with the built-in Proc Amp. Color Correct to compensate for input material or to match projectors and monitors. Adjust levels and swap/mix channels in Embedded Audio. Even embedded surround sound (Dolby, AC-3) is synchronized from input to output. Control the Frame Syncs and monitor each channel’s input and output from the front panel, or through the interactive Web interface. Rackmount up to three NXT 950s in 1RU for the ultimate processing density.
    BrightEye 55 Genlockable Sync Generator and Test Signal GeneratorBrightEye 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 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.
