Functional Description and Block Diagram
As shown in the functional block diagram below, analog video is fed to the unit on a single BNC
connector. This analog input is converted at 12 bits of resolution for digital processing. The signal is
time base corrected and frame synchronized to the external reference input and converted back to
analog for output. The video standard of the input signal is automatically detected. For applications
with intermittent or low quality input signals, the video standard can be set manually to either NTSC or
PAL. This will improve performance when the input signal is compromised.
BrightEye 5 is powered by a 12 volt DC universal power supply. This power supply can accept an input
voltage between 90 and 230 volts, at 50 or 60 Hertz.
BrightEye 5 uses a standard IEC line cord and can be used anywhere in the world. It is normal for the
converter to be quite warm to the touch when operating.
