BrightEye 2

Analog to SDI Converter

BrightEye 2 provides uncompromised analog to
digital video conversion of component and composite
video. Analog inputs are digitized at 12 bits of
resolution with 4x oversampling. Composite video is
processed through an adaptive comb filter decoder.
PAL / NTSC input detection is automatic.

Input selection and gain adjustment is made from
the front panel. A status display provides an input
presence indication. Video levels can be adjusted
through BrightEye PC.

Supporting both Beta and SMPTE component,
composite, and Y/C formats, BrightEye 2 adapts to
many conversion needs.

Use BrightEye 2 to digitize analog VTRs and cameras.
