BrightEye 10

Optical/SDI to Analog/SDI Converter

BrightEye 10 is a digital to analog video converter
with both SDI (electrical) and fiber optic inputs.
Output formats include Beta and SMPTE component,
RGB, and composite (with simultaneous Y/C). Video
processing, encoding and analog conversion is
performed digitally at 12 bits of resolution with 8
times oversampling.

Front panel controls select between the optical and
SDI input, choose the analog output format, and
adjust gain. Video levels can be adjusted through
BrightEye PC.

The reclocked SDI output follows the input selector,
thus providing optical to electrical conversion when
the optical input is selected. BrightEye 10 combines

er to SDI conversion and QC monitoring in one

fib
compact unit.
