The BrightEye 93 HD Cross Converter from Ensemble Designs is a device that will convert between various HD standards. To perform cross conversion, simply connect the input signal and select the desired output option. An external reference input allows for genlock to a house reference, and the unit faithfully passes all vertical interval data and closed captioning information. The HDMI connector on the rear of the chassis provides a monitoring interface with LCD displays.

This unit also handles up to (16) channels of embedded audio, which, is safely routed around video processing. You can monitor any audio channel by plugging a headset into the 3.5mm jack on the unit's front panel.

The front panel interface offers control of input selection, gain control, and test patterns, among other parameters. The unit can also be controlled through the BrightEye software package that is included with the unit and compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms. LEDs on the front panel provide a visual indicator of channel status.
