BrightEye NXT 410/415/430 Compact Router Installation, Configuration and Operations Guide
Clean Switching between Asynchronous Sources
The BrightEye NXT 410 Clean HDMI Router and the BrightEye NXT 430 Clean Router provide clean,
quiet switching of video and audio sources. Both units have two clean switched outputs, providing full
frame synchronization.
Assignable I/O and Flexible Architecture
The BrightEye NXT 415 and BrightEye NXT 430 have 2 fixed input BNCs, 2 fixed output BNCs and 7
independently assignable BNCs that can be configured as inputs or outputs. The two SFP (small format
pluggable) cages can be populated with dual SFPs that have fiber optic or other connectors.
The BrightEye NXT 410 has 2 fixed input BNCs, 2 fixed output BNCs, and 1 assignable BNC that can be
configured as an input or an output. There are also 4 fixed input HDMI ports, 1 fixed output HDMI port,
and 1 SFP cage that can be populated with dual SFPs.
Signal Diagnostics
Circuitry on every BrightEye NXT unit detects and measures key parameters associated with each
video source, such as synchronicity and timing, line and frame rate, embedded audio presence or
absence, closed caption information, and timecode data. These parameters can be displayed on both
the front panel LCD screen and on web interface control points.
Ethernet Connectivity and Long Distances
Because the web interface connects to the BrightEye NXT Router over Ethernet, and because Ethernet
reaches much farther than coaxial cable, BrightEye NXT Router web interface control points can be
physically located very far away from the BrightEye NXT Router if desired.
For example, if you need the capability to select sources at the transmitter remotely, such as in the
event of either a master control switcher failure or a microwave link failure between the studio and
the transmitter, you can use the BrightEye NXT Router as part of a backup switcher at the transmitter.
Sources such as a network feed, a small server or a weather camera could be switched to air in an
emergency.
