The information in this user guide is organized into the following sections: • Product Overview • Functional Description • Applications • Rear Connections • Operation • Front Panel Controls and Indicators • Using The BrightEye Control Application • Warranty and Factory Service • Specifications • Glossary BrightEye-1 BrightEye 1 Analog/SDI to SDI/Optical Converter with TBC/FS PRODUCT OVERVIEW The BrightEye™ 1 Converter is a self-contained unit that can accept both analog and digital video inputs and output them as optical signals. Analog signals are converted to digital form and are then frame synchronized to a user-supplied video reference signal. When the digital input is selected, it too is synchronized to the reference input. Time Base Error Correction is provided, allowing the use of non-synchronous sources such as consumer VTRs and DVD players. An internal test signal generator will produce Color Bars and the pathological checkfield test signals. The processed signal is output as a serial digital component television signal in accordance with ITU-R 601 in both electrical and optical form. Front panel controls permit the user to monitor input and reference status, proper optical laser operation, select video inputs and TBC/Frame Sync function, and adjust video level. Control and monitoring can also be done using the BrightEye PC or BrightEye Mac application from a personal computer with USB support.

  • TVP5160 3DYC Operation
    Application Report SLEA109–April 2011 TVP5160 3DYC Operation ..................................................................................................................................................... 1 Introduction The TVP5160 provides 3DYC functionality for both NTSC and PAL. This feature builds on the existing 2D 5-line comb filter and is designed to reduce the dot crawl and false color in composite video inputs by storing and processing multiple frames. By using multiple frames, the advantage of 3DYC is best seen on static images or areas within video where the scene has no motion. With areas of motion, the 2D comb filter is used; in still areas, the 3DYC is used. 2 Modes of Operation and Memory Requirements 3DYC may operate independently or concurrently with 3DNR. The various modes of operation for the 3DNR and 3DYC are listed in Table 1. Table 1. 3DYC and 3DNR Modes of Operation Memory Mode Operation Required Mode 0 3DYC + 3DNR 4MB Mode 1 3DYC only 2MB Mode 2 2D 5-line CF + 3DNR 2MB Mode 3 2D 5-line CF only (default) None 3 Technology Overview 3DYC works in parallel with the 2D comb filter based on the user settings and the level of motion detected in the video. Motion is detected by comparison of luma and chroma from three frames of the input composite signal. The frame differences are converted to absolute numbers, and a threshold is subtracted from this absolute value. The resultant difference is limited to a lower limit, gained up, and limited to an upper limit. The lower limit is indicative of 3D comb output and the upper limit is indicative of 2D comb output. The output is termed Km.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 358 827 IR 016 107 AUTHOR Gutenko, Gregory TITLE Selling Color: The Development and Marketing of the NTSC Color Television Broadcasting Technology and the Implications for HDTV. PUB DATE 93 NOTE 17p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Industry; Broadcast Reception Equipment; Color; Educational Technology; Futures (of Society); Marketing; *Mass Media Role; Networks; Problems; Public Opinion; Standards; *Technological Advancement; *Television; United States History; *Videodisks IDENTIFIERS *High Definition Television ABSTRACT The introduction and acceptance of color television and the National Television System Committee (NTSC) color standard are reviewed for the lessons they hold for the future of high definition television (HDTV). Between 1946 and 1974, 28 years of salesmanship were required to move color television from the experimental phase to its assimilation into broadcast production and consumer expectations. The NTSC color broadcasting standard has been in use for over three decades, but has enjoyed casual acceptance for a much shorter period. It is finally securely entrenched, but is, in fact, technologically obsolete. HDTV faces obstacles as great as those faced by color television in the past. The major problem is that low-definition NTSC already occupies the space needed for existence in the broadcast frequencies and studios and in American homes. Unlike color television, HDTV is not obstructed as a video standard in other applications, and HDTV has a toehold in the United States as a specialized video production format. Issues of compatibility with existing equipment and formats are a major factor in the introduction of HDTV as they were for color television.
