BrightEye 46
APPLICATIONS
BrightEye 46 can be utilized in any number of different applications where conversion of 3G, HD, SD or
ASI signals to optical is required. The reclocked electrical input can also be distributed to four electrical
output BNCs.
As shown in the example below, this unit can accommodate the need to send the input signal
optically to a remote location as well as to distribute the input to other electrical destinations. The 3G,
HD, SD, or ASI input can be converted and output from the optical connector to long distances (up to
20 kilometers of single mode fiber).
Another advantage of using optical signal distribution is the electrical isolation provided allowing
complete freedom from ground loops.
HD Optical Conversion and Electrical Distribution
One application, shown in the illustration below, utilizes fiber optic transmission to send a converted
SDI signal from a serial digital router to an SDI switcher with an optical I/O in another building. Four
additional outputs are available for other local applications from the BNC connectors.
