Ensemble Designs BE-16 Specifications

BrightEye 16

SD SDI to Analog Video Converter
with Frame Sync / Genlock and
Audio Disembedder

BrightEye 16 is a digital to analog video converter with a
timeable output. It’s perfect for feeding analog switchers
and routers, where signal timing is required. It’s also a
disembedder and provides four analog audio outputs.

With timing controls, proc adjustments, and a built-in audio
mixer, BrightEye 16 provides a complete solution for digital
to analog conversion.

BrightEye 16 has an SDI video input and a reference input.
The input signal is converted to analog composite and
synchronized (genlocked) to the reference signal. The
analog composite output is fully timed with respect to the
reference, including ScH phase. Audio is disembedded with
24 bit precision and converted to analog.

Basic controls are accessed on the front panel. BrightEye
Mac or PC software provides access to video proc functions
and the built-in audio mixer. The vertical interval can be
passed or blanked. VU indication is provided on the front
panel and through BrightEye Mac or PC software.
