Ensemble Designs BrightEye 92-A HD Downconverter with Analog Audio

Easy To Use

BrightEye 92-A will downconvert any type of HD signal and provides both an SD SDI output and an analog composite output that are suitable for broadcast or monitoring. The built-in Frame Synchronizer allows you to feed asynchronous signals to the BrightEye 92-A. An external reference input allows genlock to a house reference. All vertical interval data and closed captioning is faithfully passed.

Downconverting to Standard Definition

BrightEye 92-A will downconvert any type of HD signal and provides both an SD SDI and an analog composite output suitable for broadcast or monitoring.

Audio Processing

BrightEye 92-A handles both embedded audio and analog audio. Sixteen channels of embedded audio are supported in BrightEye 92-A. If the incoming video has embedded audio, the audio will be safely bypassed around the video processing and lipsync will be preserved. Audio mixing is available for two of the four embedded groups of audio.

Audio Monitoring

Audio monitoring is easy with BrightEye 92-A's convenient 3.5mm mini jack. Select the audio channels you want to monitor from the front panel and plug in a headset.

Monitoring with HDMI

The HDMI connector on the rear of the unit provides a future proof monitoring interface. Plug it into most LCD monitors for confidence monitoring of your feed.

Front Panel and Software Control

Input selection, gain control, and ftest 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. Video and audio levels and the audio mixer can be adjusted through BrightEye Mac or PC software.

Power supply is included.
