Ensemble Designs BrightEye 3 Analog to SDI Converter with TBC/Frame Sync

Ensemble Designs' BrightEye 3 is an agile Time Base Corrector / Frame Synchronizer with versatile connectivity, including composite, component and Y/C inputs as well as SD SDI video out. Input signals are digitized to a resolution of 12-bits and time base corrected by a tracking circuit that's noise tolerant. Its external reference input lets you genlock to a timing reference such as color black. The front panel interface provides Input selection, gain control, and TBC enable. With BrightEye Mac or PC software, you can adjust Video levels. Front panel LEDs indicate the presence of Input and Reference. BrightEye 3 works great for capturing consumer VCR signals into non-linear editing systems.
