Overview
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.
In addition to the configurability of the ports, the presentation of these inputs and outputs to a
control point (e.g., control panel, web browser, automation system, etc.) is also configurable. This
presentation is managed through a Profile—a map of the sources (inputs) and destinations (outputs)
that are available to a control point. The Profile also determines the order in which the sources and
destinations appear. These Profiles thereby provide the flexibility for every control point to have its
own view (or a shared view) of the organization of inputs and outputs. The use of Profiles to order the
inputs and destinations is of particular interest for installations using automation systems. (For details,
refer to ”Understanding Profiles” on page 97.)
Before You Begin
Some configuration of the BrightEye NXT Router will be required in order to control it from an external
device such as an automation system.
In order to configure the router, you will need to establish an IP Address for the BrightEye NXT Router
and browse to the BrightEye NXT’s web page from a computer. The details for doing this are covered in
“Chapter 4: Configuration” on page 26 earlier in this manual.
