  • BrightEye NXT PiP-Efx Picture in Picture Option

    Now you can have a computer presentation AND the presenter on the screen at the same time. PiP-Efx is the perfect solution for corporate boardrooms or remote learning environments. PiP-Efx is available with the Multi Image license option for BrightEye NXT models NXT 410-H, NXT 430-X, NXT 445, and NXT 450.

    Easy to configure layouts and instant recall from user presets make for an exciting visual experience during your live lectures or presentations. You have full control of size, position and cropping as well as dissolve and cut transitions to PiP effects. PiP-Efx can be a single insert over a full screen video background, or two PiP inserts over a matte background – each with independent size and position. You can even switch sources within the PiP window on the fly. The PiP-Efx output is fully routable to any destination on the router, or to multiple destinations simultaneously. The built-in, dual Up/Down/Cross converters allow any SMPTE format video to be incorporated seamlessly in the PiP-Efx output – even standard definition in a high definition production (or vice versa). Customizable border effects give depth and background separation to your PiP window. All of this in a router the size of a paperback novel.

    Perfect for Boardroom or Classroom

    Cameras, video playback devices, and computers can be brought into the BrightEye NXT 450, 430-X and 410-H Compact Routers and switched or dissolved live to individual or multiple destinations. User-created PiP-Efx layouts become a source in the routing matrix. You can cut or dissolve to them as part of the production. The switched program can be distributed through multiple router outputs, and in multiple formats simultaneously. Route SD, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p versions by SDI (BNC), HDMI or fiber using optional SFP modules. In the NXT 450 Clean Streaming Router, the PiP-Efx program can be encoded to MPEG-4 (H.264) and delivered by IP Unicast, Multicast, or DVB-ASI to distant locations over public or private networks.

    Easy To Use Controls

    Simple, well thought-out user interface controls make creating PiP-Efx layouts a breeze. Full setup, control, and user preset recall can be accessed via any web browser enabled device: laptop, tablet,
    even a smartphone.

    BrightEye 90-FA HD Up/Down Cross Converter and ARC with Analog Audio and Optical OutputBrightEye 90-FA 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-FA to output your facility’s preferred HD or SD standard. The BrightEye 90-FA will accommodate whatever input you connect analog composite, SD SDI or HD SDI. After setting the output standard, BrightEye 90-FA automatically converts the selected input to the correct standard for your facility. BrightEye 90-FA 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-FA. 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-FA and upconvert to HD. You can take the HD signal from the BrightEye 90-FA 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-FA’s reference input allows you to time the upconverted video output for use with a production switcher. Downconverting to Standard Definition BrightEye 90-FA 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-FA has you covered. Just select the output standard you need and connect the input. Audio Processing Made Simple BrightEye 90-FA handles both embedded audio and eight channels of analog audio. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 90-FA. 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 app. Monitoring for Video and Audio Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 90-FA’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 patterns control 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 the BrightEye Control software. Video and audio levels and the audio mixer can be adjusted through BrightEye Control.
    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.
