Ensemble Designs BE-94 Specifications

BrightEye 94

SD Aspect Ratio Converter

BrightEye 94 is a standard denition aspect ratio converter.
You can easily convert signals from 4:3 to SD 16:9, and vice
versa.

All vertical interval data and closed captioning are
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.

Input selection, gain control, and test pattern controls are
provided through the front panel interface. Audio presence
LEDs indicate which channels are detected. Controls for
crop, letterbox and pillarbox are accessed from the front
panel or BrightEye Mac or PC software. A special Mirror
Output Mode can be enabled, causing the output image to
be ipped left to right for use with on-camera talent.
