SDI Input The BrightEye 72 has an SDI input and a reclocked loopback SDI output. The input can be 1.5 or 3 Gb/s HD SDI or SD SDI. The loopback SDI output is a copy of the SDI input. The key features, such as on-screen display of audio and open captions, are accessed through the HDMI output.
Audio Meters Audio Metering Overlay and Disembedding The BrightEye 72/72-F has a sophisticated audio metering overlay capability that uses four groups of four-channel on-screen VU meters. It includes a hanging peak level indicator and a user-adjustable peak (headroom) indicator. You can disembed and visually monitor up to sixteen channels of audio.
In fact, the HDMI standard provides no support for captions in closed form. BrightEye 72/72-F is able to deliver open captions to an HDMI display by rendering them as actual image content with its built-in character generator.
3G/HD/SD SDI to HDMI Converter User Guide Horizontal and Vertical Shift The BrightEye 72/72-F can shift images horizontally and/or vertically to enable inspection of content in the horizontal and vertical intervals outside of the picture itself, such as embedded audio, closed caption data blocks, and blanking edges of the signal.
Block Diagrams BrightEye 72 For your reference, see the functional block diagram of the BrightEye 72 on this page and the next page. The diagram appears twice, first in a portrait view, then larger as a landscape view. Following that are diagrams of the BrightEye 72-F showing the optical input.

HDMI display. In the example below, the program feed from a server goes into the SDI Input BNC connector of the BrightEye 72 and loops back out through the 3G/HD/ SD SDI Output BNC connector to the router. The input SDI signal is converted to HDMI and sent out through the HDMI Out connector to an HDMI monitor.
3G/HD/SD SDI to HDMI Converter User Guide Rear Connectors All connections to the BrightEye 72/72-F are made on the rear of the unit. Refer to the illustration below as a reference for the rear connectors. A more detailed explanation of the rear connectors follows immediately below.
Optical Input (BrightEye 72-F) The BrightEye 72-F offers an optical input instead of the SDI input of the BrightEye 72. The optical input accepts SD SDI, HD SDI, or 3 Gb/s HD SDI video signals with or without embedded audio. The mapping of the first 8 channels of audio on the incoming optical signal will pass through the HDMI...
3G/HD/SD SDI to HDMI Converter User Guide Module Configuration and Control There are two methods for controlling and operating the BrightEye 72/72-F: 1. From the front panel (with or without on-screen display on the HDMI out); 2. With the BrightEye PC or Mac Control application.
NOTE: There are no LEDs on the front panel to blink to indicate that any of these six Color Correction controls are selected, but the on-screen display will show each of these controls as you move through them by pressing the Mode button on the front panel. www.ensembledesigns.com BrightEye 72 and 72-F - Page 16...
Notice also that the input status is displaying in the upper left area of the monitor image, indicating input format, frequency, and the presence of embedded audio. This example also includes graticule lines and audio meters.

Color – Available graticule color choices are: White, Gray, Black, Red, Blue, Green. • HV Shift – The BrightEye 72/72-F can shift images horizontally and/or vertically to enable inspection of content in the horizontal and vertical intervals outside of the picture itself, such as embedded audio, closed caption data blocks, and blanking edges of the signal.
3G/HD/SD SDI to HDMI Converter User Guide • OSD Enable – Use this control to enable the on-screen display of the BrightEye 72/72-F software controls. When enabled, the software controls display on the HDMI monitor. Available choices are: Off, Input Status, Control Adjust, All. Input Status displays in the upper left corner of the HDMI monitor.
3G/HD/SD SDI to HDMI Converter User Guide Timecode Menu The video path includes a timecode reader. BrightEye 72/72-F can read and display running timecode from either DVITC (Digital Vertical Interval Time Code) on SD SDI inputs, or ATC (Ancillary Time Code) on HD SDI inputs.
