When distances take you beyond the reach of ordinary
copper cable, look to BrightEye’s ber optic interfaces. With
both laser diode ber drivers and photo diode receivers,
BrightEye can handle both ends of a ber optic link. Fully
compliant with SMPTE 274M, 296M and 297M, BrightEye's
optical interfaces operate at a wavelength of 1310 nm.
Integral SC type connectors make it easy to connect into
ber infrastructure. BrightEye has been designed without
internal ber pigtails, so all optical converters support both
multi and single mode ber. BrightEye’s ber interconnect
carries the same digital bitstream that makes up the
electrical SDI interface. Data is carried by pulses of light
rather than pulses of electricity. This rugged transmission
system can carry serial digital signals with no loss or
degradation for twenty kilometers or more on single mode
ber. With the use of a launch attenuator, multimode ber
is supported.
BrightEye makes it easy to take advantage of ber optic
technology. Choose from converters that include analog
video I/O or units that interface directly to HD or SD SDI
signals. Fiber interfaces are ideal for outdoor events and
remote broadcasts. Fiber is not only a great solution for
long distances, but since it is electrically non-conductive
it also provides complete electrical isolation between
the two connection points. Fiber connectivity completely
eliminates concern for AC ground loops and hum. Optical
transmission over ber is also immune to radio frequency
interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference. Even
nearby lightning strikes will not compromise the signal.

BrightEye Mac and PC Software
Adjusting video levels, output timing and mixing audio
channels are so easy with BrightEye control software.
No DIP switches or button hold-downs are needed. Use
BrightEye Mac or PC software to control a single BrightEye
unit or any number of units connected to a USB hub.
Additionally, you can use it to upgrade BrightEye units as
new software versions become available. BrightEye Mac
and PC software are included with each unit at no charge.
