  • Page 14 BrightEye 11 SDI to Analog Converter GLOSSARY This is a brief glossary of commonly used terms associated with this product. AES/EBU The digital audio standard defined as a joint effort of the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. AES/EBU or AES3 describes a serial bitstream that carries two audio channels, thus an AES stream is a stereo pair.
  • Page 15 BrightEye 11 Chroma The color or chroma content of a signal, consisting of the hue and saturation of the image. See also Color Difference. Component In a component video system, the totality of the image is carried by three separate but related components. This method provides the best image fidelity with the fewest artifacts, but it requires three independent transmission paths (cables).
  • Page 16 BrightEye 11 SDI to Analog Converter dBFS In Digital Audio systems, the largest numerical value that can be represented is referred to as Full Scale. No values or audio levels greater than FS can be repro- duced because they would be clipped. The nominal operating point (roughly corre- sponding to 0 VU) must be set below FS in order to have headroom for audio peaks.
  • Page 17 BrightEye 11 The International Electrotechnical Commission provides a wide range of worldwide standards. They have provided standardization of the AC power con- nection to products by means of an IEC line cord. The connection point uses three flat contact blades in a triangular arrangement, set in a rectangular connector.
  • Page 18 BrightEye 11 SDI to Analog Converter Multi-mode Multi-mode fibers have a larger diameter core (either 50 or 62.5 microns), and a correspondingly larger aperture. It is much easier to couple light energy into a multi-mode fiber, but internal reflections will cause multiple “modes” of the signal to propagate down the fiber.
  • Page 19 BrightEye 11 Return Loss An idealized input or output circuit will exactly match its desired impedance (generally 75 ohms) as a purely resistive element, with no reactive (capacitive or inductive elements). In the real world we can only approach the ideal. So our real inputs and outputs will have some capacitance and inductance.
  • Page 20 BrightEye 11 SDI to Analog Converter A Time Base Corrector is a system to reduce the Time Base Error in a signal to acceptable levels. It accomplishes this by using a FIFO (First In, First Out) memory. The incoming video is written into the memory using its own jittery timing.
