The BrightEye 20 is a compact solution for embedding or disembedding. With SDI
input and output, and both analog and digital audio I/O, it is field configurable for

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
BrightEye 20 is a versatile Audio Mux/DeMux (Embedder/Disembedder). It
supports four channels of audio, with both analog and digital I/O. Complete
control over audio levels and mixing and swapping between channels is provided
through the BrightEye Control application.
Demultiplex Operation
When configured as an Audio Disembedder (demultiplexer), BrightEye 20 extracts
the digital audio content being carried in an SDI video stream and produces
simultaneous digital audio (AES) and analog audio outputs.
The Group Select control is used to identify which of the four possible audio
groups is to be disembedded. The front panel Group Select control will illuminate
green to indicate that the selected group has been detected in the incoming video.
If that group is not present, the control will illuminate red.
The four output channels of the disembedder feed a 4 channel mixer/shuffler. This
mixer provides precise adjustment of audio level for each channel, and the ability
to assign input channels to any combination of output channels. Additionally,
signal phase inversion can be selected on a channel by channel basis to address
