BrightEye 76 HD/SD Analog to Digital Converter With Optical Output

BrightEye 76 - Page 2

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

BrightEye 76 converts standard definition analog component or composite video,

or high definition analog component video to SDI on an optical output with simul-

taneous conversion of two channels of audio and embedding. A TBC/Frame Sync is

a standard feature and allows the BrightEye to work with any type of video input.

BrightEye 76 is versatile enough to handle applications from broadcasting to

desktop video with sources such as VTRs and incoming satellite feeds.

Basic controls are accessed on the front panel. The BrightEye PC and Mac

Control applications provide access to video proc functions, input and output, and

built-in audio mixer controls that are not available from the front panel.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

As shown in the functional block diagram below, analog video is converted at

14 bits of resolution and digitally decoded to YCrCb components. The signal is

then time base corrected and frame synchronized to the reference input. Proc amp

adjustments are provided for the converted video.

The audio is converted to digital then passed through the built-in 2-channel mixer

with shuffle and level control.

The video and audio signals are joined in the embedder. This embedded signal

passes through a serializer to an optical SDI output on the rear of the unit.

BrightEye 76 is powered by a 12 volt DC universal power supply. This power

supply can accept an input voltage between 90 and 230 volts, at 50 or 60 Hertz.

It uses a standard IEC line cord and can be used anywhere in the world. It is

normal for the converter to be quite warm to the touch when operating.

APPLICATIONS

The BrightEye 76 is well-suited to applications using HD Cameras or other

devices with analog I/O. The built-in TBC/Frame Synchronizer allows you to feed

asynchronous or noisy signals to the BrightEye 76. These are then digitized and

time-base corrected by noise-tolerant tracking circuitry.

The example below shows a three-camera, live remote setup. Full bandwidth

analog video from an HD camera is fed to a BrightEye 76 and converted to HD-SDI

digital video. The signal is time base corrected and frame synchronized to the

reference input. The signal is then sent to a Remote Truck/OB Van and output on

fiber.

The analog audio from the cameras enters the BrightEye 76 two-channel

A-to-D converter. Adjustments for audio mixing, audio levels, and channel

shuffling can then be applied to the audio before it is embedded into the SDI

output signal and fed to air.
