90 and 230 volts, at 50 or 60 Hertz. BrightEye 5 uses a standard IEC line cord and can be used anywhere in the world. It is normal for the converter to be quite warm to the touch when operating. -
Page 6: Applications
Time Base Correction of Noisy Microwave Signal One useful application for the BrightEye 5 is time base correction of an excessively noisy analog video signal from a microwave receiver. This application utilizes the full functionality of BrightEye 5 by time base correcting a noisy analog video microwave input signal and frame synchronizing it to a house reference which is also feeding analog video devices. -

Composite Out 1 and 2 – Two timed composite outputs are provided for feeding analog destinations. The output standard follows the input standard and must be the same standard as the reference, if one is used. www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 5 - Page 8... -
Page 9: Operation
Analog Composite TBC and Frame Sync User Guide Operation Control and operation of the BrightEye 5 is performed from the front panel or remotely from a networked PC with the BrightEye Mac/PC Control application software. Note: Some control settings are only available with BrightEye PC or Mac. These parameters cannot be monitored or controlled from the front panel. -

Fine – Adjust the timing in subpixels with reference to the Ref In. • TBC/Frame Sync – This control enables the Frame Sync genlock function and the timing controls when an external reference is present on the Ref In BNC. www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 5 - Page 10... - Page 11 The Vid Gain indicator will illuminate red whenever the control is adjusted either higher or lower than the nominal setting. The gain can be reset to nominal (green) by pressing both arrows simultaneously. www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 5 - Page 11...
