Product Overview and Functional Description
The BrightEye 72/72-F turns any High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) display into a monitoring
solution with professional monitoring features. With the BrightEye 72/72-F, you can monitor any type
of digital video signal, including 3 Gb/s signals.
Use with Any HDMI Monitor
The BrightEye 72/72-F can be used with any HDMI monitor. Because there is a wide range of HDMI
monitors available, you have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting which particular HDMI
monitor you want to use.
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.
Optical Input with the 72-F
The BrightEye 72-F offers an optical input instead of the SDI input of the BrightEye 72.
Test Signal Generator
The built-in test signal generator, useful for troubleshooting, inserts the signal at the front of the
signal path, so its behavior is functionally the same as cabling a test signal generator into a BNC input.
Use the test signal generator and adjust the BrightEye 72 as needed to set up your particular HDMI
monitor.
The test signal generator provides a number of test patterns including SMPTE bars with PLUGE, which
is useful for monitor alignment.
Video Proc Amp and Color Corrector
The Proc Amp and Color Corrector functions provide precise control over the output video levels. A
variety of controls are provided for making exact adjustments to produce correct luminance and color
rendition on the monitor and can be used with the built-in test signals. Adjustments are performed at
full 10-bit SDI resolution.
