It can output 1.5 Gb/s HD, 3 Gb/s HD or SD SDI test signals, or black with embedder on the SDI BNCs. 3G Level A and Level B are fully supported. Also provides composite, HD Tri-Level Sync and AES digital audio outputs. Includes three user programmable outputs that are selectable between AES, LTC, Wordclock or 6 Hz Pulse. Analog audio and AES outputs provide tone or silence.
The BrightEye 57 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.
In addition to the standard suite of test patterns, users can create custom test patterns on a computer. Using BrightEye Pattern Generator software, simply transfer test patterns to the included Secure Digital flash 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. Supports the following file formats: .tga, .wav, .mp3, .wma.
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.
BrightEye units can be combined to form a complete 3G signal chain for facilities using 3 Gb/s video. The BrightEye 57 test signal generator’s 3G output can be distributed through the BrightEye 43 3G distribution amplifier or the BrightEye 46 and BrightEye 48 E/O 3G fiber optical transmitter/receiver set.
