BrightEye 57 is a genlockable sync generator and test
signal generator that can be used as either a slave or
master reference generator. It can lock to house reference
or it can lock to its own internal precision standard.
BrightEye 57 is well suited for remote trucks, post,
helicopters and y packs.
1.5 Gb/s HD, 3 Gb/s HD or SD SDI test signals or black with
embedded audio is output on the SDI BNCs. 3G Level A and
Level B are supported. Composite, HD Tri-level Sync and
AES digital audio outputs are also provided. There are three
user Programmable Outputs that are selectable between
AES, LTC, Wordclock or 6 Hz Pulse. Analog audio and AES
outputs provide tone or silence.
Color Black, Bars, Crosshatch, Multi-burst, and SDI
Checkeld (Pathogenic) are just some of the signals
simultaneously available on the SDI and analog composite
outputs. The Cyclops feature adds a motion element
to the selected video test signal. An ID slate with user
programmable text can overlay the test pattern.
The internal Time Code Generator feeds DVITC on the SD
SDI outputs and VITC on the composite outputs, Time Code
can also be selected in LTC form on the programmable Aux
outputs.
In addition to the standard suite of test patterns, users can
create custom test patterns on a computer. Simply transfer
test patterns to the included Secure Digital ash memory
card and then insert the memory card into the front of the
BrightEye 57. Test patterns can include motion and an
associated audio clip such as voice over or station ID.
Many controls can be adjusted through the intuitive front panel.
BrightEye Mac and PC software provide a complete user interface
for all adjustments and controls.
For facilities and manufacturers using 3 Gb/s video, BrightEye
units can be combined to form a complete 3G signal chain. The
BrightEye 57 test signal generator’s 3G output can be distributed
through the BrightEye 43 3G distribution amplier or the BrightEye
46 and BrightEye 48 E/O 3G ber optical transmitter/receiver set.
