BrightEye 41
Video/AES/Tri-Level Sync Distribution Amplifier
BrightEye 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 the
BrightEye 54 sync pulse generator and test
signal generator for distributing Tri-Level Sync,
AES and composite signals.
This is a simple device, with no USB port and
no interface to BrightEye Mac or PC software.
Front panel indicators show the presence of
an input signal and power.
