BrightEye 71 and 71-F PRODUCT OVERVIEW The BrightEye 71/71-F is a dual rate, eight channel audio embedder or disembedder for 1.5 Gb/s high definition video signals or for 270 Mb/s standard definition signals. The analog audio ports automatically configure for inputs or outputs when the module is configured for Mux or Demux.
Page 5
When configured as a demultiplexer as shown in the block diagram below, audio signals present in the incoming video signal are extracted, processed as desired, and delivered as analog audio. Note: BrightEye 71 has two electrical SDI outputs. BrightEye 71-F has one electrical SDI output and one optical output...
In this application, BrightEye 71/71-F can be used to multiplex video and audio together to feed a video server. The output from the video server can then be fed to another BrightEye 71/71-F where the audio can then be demultiplexed for another application.
