Use this sturdy, portable
case with BrightEyes in the field. This rugged case
makes it convenient to have upconverters, sync pulse
generators, fiber transmitters and more wherever you
need them.
BrightPak is modular and that means all BrightEyes,
from the BrightEye 90-F HD Up/Down/Cross Converter with
Fiber to the BrightEye 55 Sync Pulse Generator, can
be housed in BrightPak for easy transport and use. You
can optimize BrightPak for your specific application.
BrightPak Integration
BrightPak Basic in Kit Form is intended for end-users,
dealers, distributors, and system integrators who wish
to configure a BrightPak for a specific use. By selecting
the appropriate BrightEye converters, industry standard
connectors, and providing internal cabling, a BrightPak
can be created that has the exact features and functions
needed for a specific application. BrightPak Basic in
Kit Form is a starting point for that process - providing
the ruggedized field case, mounting for BrightEye converters
and connectors, and power system needed. It is a framework
for BrightPak integration.

Field News Acquisition Appliction
In this example two BrightPaks are used for outdoor,
field news acquisition. One BrightPak is populated with
a BrightEye 90-FA Up/Down/Cross Converter and is processing
an HD or SD camera feed. The BrightEye 90-FA upconverts
or cross converts the signal as needed to the desired
HD format. For example, if the desired output is 720p,
any input delivered to the BrightEye 90-FA (SD or HD)
would be converted to 720p. Audio levels and video levels
can
be adjusted.
The BrightEye 90-FA's outbound fiber feed goes to a
second BrightPak in another location. This second BrightPak
is populated with a BrightEye 47 Optical to Electrical
Converter and BrightEye 24 D to A Converter. The incoming
optical feed comes into the BrightEye 47 and is converted
to electrical (HD or SD on standard coax) for signal
monitoring and distribution. This electrical signal
feeds the BrightEye 24, where the signal is demuxed
into SDI, composite and analog
audio for monitoring purposes.
