BrightEye 76

HD / SD Analog to Digital Video
Converter with Optical Out

BrightEye 76 is an analog video to digital converter
and audio embedder. Standard denition component or
composite, or high denition analog component video is
accepted on the input BNCs. Two channels of analog audio
are input on a plugable Phoenix connector.

This unit is perfect for use with HD cameras or other
devices with analog I/O. The digital output will carry the
full, un-compressed input, synchronous to a genlock
reference. You can turn a hand-held HD camera into a
digital source. A three camera, live studio suddenly
becomes aordable.

The built-in TBC/Frame Synchronizer allows you to feed
asynchronous or noisy signals to the BrightEye 76. The
input is digitized to 12 bits of resolution and time base
corrected by a noise tolerant tracking circuit. An external
reference input allows genlock to a house reference.

Input selection, gain control, and TBC enable is provided
through the front panel interface. Video levels can be
adjusted through BrightEye Mac or PC software.

The video and audio signals are embedded and presented
as an optical output. The output follows the SD or HD
input standard.
