USING THE BRIGHTEYE CONTROL APPLICATION

The BrightEye PC and BrightEye Mac applications included on CD-ROM are
designed to allow you to configure and control the BrightEye 3 from a personal
computer. Installation and instructions for using this software application are
given in the PDF manual on disk. If the BrightEye 3 is connected to a computer
running this software, the following menus are available for controlling and mon-
itoring the unit.

Input Menu

Input – select the type of input signal to the unit from the Input pulldown
as Composite, Y/C, Beta, SMPTE, SDI, Bars, or Checkfield.

Comb Mode – use this control set the type of comb filtering desired from
3-Line or 5-Line.

Setup Removal – use this control to indicate the presence of setup on the
input (in 525 mode only, grayed out in 625). Select On for setup removal or
Off for no setup removal.

Signal Mute – the signal muting control affects the behavior of the module
when the video input (either analog or SDI) is lost or interrupted. Set the
control for one of the following conditions:

No Muting – nothing is done when the input is lost or intermittent. In this
case, the module may present a very disturbed output in response to an
intermittent input.

Mute on Noise – the output will go black if the input is lost.

Mute on Freeze – the output will freeze on the last image when the input
is lost.
