PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The BrightEye™ 46 is an electrical to optical converter and distribution amplifier that can be used
with standard definition video signals, 3 Gb/s and 1.5 Gb/s high definition signals, or ASI signals. The
video input is reclocked and presented on four BNCs and is also converted to an optical signal and
presented on an optical SC connector. This optical output can drive single mode fiber to a distance
of 20 kilometers. With an optical launch power attenuator, multi-mode fiber can also be used with
BrightEyes. Refer to the functional block diagram below.
This is a simple device with no USB port and no interface to the BrightEye Mac or PC software. It is
powered by a modular style power supply. Front panel indicators show the presence of an input signal
and power. No adjustments are required on the unit.
A glossary of commonly used video terms is provided at the end of this guide.
