Ensemble Designs BrightEye 3 Analog to SDI Converter with TBC

BE3 - Overview

BrightEye 3 is an agile Time Base Corrector / Frame Synchronizer with composite, component and Y/C inputs and SDI video out. Input signals are digitized to 12 bits of resolution and time base corrected by a noise tolerant tracking circuit. An external reference input allows genlock to a timing reference such as color black.
Input selection, gain control, and TBC enable is provided through the front panel interface. Video levels can be adjusted through BrightEye PC.
Input and Reference presence are indicated through front panel LEDs. BrightEye 3 is great for capturing consumer VCRs into non-linear editing systems.
Power supply is included.
