It can output HD or SD SDI test signals (test patterns), or black with embedded audio on the SDI BNCs, and includes composite, HD Tri-level Sync and AES digital audio outputs. The three user programmable outputs are selectable between AES, LTC, Wordclock or 6 Hz Pulse. Analog audio and AES outputs provide tone or silence.
The BrightEye 56 can provide many signals simultaneously on the SDI and analog composite outputs, such as Color Black, Bars, Crosshatch, Multi-burst, and SDI Checkfield (Pathogenic). 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 SDI outputs and VITC on the composite outputs, time code can also be selected in LTC form on the programmable Aux outputs.
Many controls can be adjusted through the front panel, but BrightEye Mac and PC software provide a complete user interface for all adjustments and controls.
