Ensemble Designs BE-93 Specifications

BrightEye 93

HD Cross Converter

BrightEye 93 converts between various HD standards,
whether 720p or 1080i. Simply select the output standard
you need and connect the input – that’s all there is to it.
A special Mirror Output Mode can be enabled, causing the
output image to be ipped left to right for use with on­camera talent. An external reference input allows genlock
to a house reference.

All vertical interval data and closed captioning is faithfully
passed. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are
supported. If the incoming video has embedded audio, the
audio will be safely bypassed around the video processing
and lipsync will be preserved.

An external reference input allows genlock to a house
reference. All vertical interval data and closed captioning
are faithfully passed.

Input selection, gain control, and test pattern controls are
provided through the front panel interface. Audio presence
LEDs indicate which channels are detected.
