YouTube and Skype Video Made Easy
The BrightEye Mitto™ family of high performance scan converters provide a new way to take just about any source to

high-end military, medical, classroom, church and corporate. All Mitto units accept VGA, DVI and HDMI input signals
from PC and Mac computers.
Choose the Functionality You Need
Five different BrightEye Mitto units, each with varying types of outputs and capabilities, allow you to choose the
best one for your particular video application. All BrightEye Mitto units convert YouTube, Skype video, weather radar,
emails and maps to video. Just a small part of the screen, such as a Skype window, can be selected with a mouse and

“Regardless of how quickly we need to take Mitto to air, it works famously
every time. And it looks spectacular. When we covered the blizzards last
winter, all of our user-generated content submissions and Skype
camethrough Mitto.”

Additional Control with BrightEye Mac and PC Software
BrightEye Mac and PC Software
Adjusting video levels, output timing, audio delay, and
mixing audio channels is so easy with BrightEye control
software. From your desktop you have complete and
intuitive control of timing, video format, and video level
adjustments. You can easily time BrightEye Mitto into a
video production switcher or router.
Easy To Use
BrightEye PC/Mac software runs overtop of any video,
website or software. The Selection Tool shows up as a
colored box around your selection and shows the portion
of the video that will be output from BrightEye Mitto.
Use a Mouse to Select What’s Output to Video
BrightEye PC and BrightEye Mac software let you simply
use your mouse to click and drag over the specific
portion of computer video that you want to output. The
perspective of seeing the whole screen gives you the
ability to choose exactly which portion of the video you
want to output. It’s easy to output the entire screen or
just a selected portion.
Exclusive Filtering and Scaling Technology
A superior quality scan converter, BrightEye Mitto has
the advantage of proprietary scaling technology and
exclusive multi-tap filtering. Even a small part of the
computer screen, such as a YouTube video, will be
upconverted to full screen HD. The region selected
for output determines if Mitto acts as an upconverter
or downconverter. The filters automatically adjust in
accordance with the conversion being performed. The
result is that the output looks as good, or better, than
the original and passes the most stringent testing.

Resize the selection window by clicking and dragging

BrightEye Mitto Scan Converters
Digital and Analog Video and Audio
The intuitive front panel interface makes it easy to
choose the desired video output format. The genlock
reference input allows the video outputs to be timed
to house.
The audio input accepts analog audio. AES is optional.
Audio is embedded into the SDI outputs which is
required for many high end applications. Audio delay
controls let you adjust the audio with respect to video
for perfect lip sync, which is crucial when using Skype
video in a production environment.
Used Worldwide
BrightEye’s compact size lets you put conversion right
where it’s needed: in a remote truck, at a live venue, on
a helicopter, in a production, or in a TV station. Reliable
and easy to install, BrightEyes make your transition to
HD simple. And they’re affordable, too!
Free Software Upgrades Forever
Use BrightEye Mac or PC software to control a single
BrightEye unit or any number of units connected to a
USB hub. BrightEye Mac and PC software are included
with each unit at no charge.
BrightEye Mitto’s software is easily upgraded through
the unit’s USB port. Software upgrades are available
at no charge for the life of the product and are
conveniently downloadable from the Ensemble
Designs’ web site. Updates are free, forever. Every unit
comes with a five-year warranty.
