The BEM-2F BrightEye Mitto HD Fiber is an HD scan converter from Ensemble Designs that converts DVI video input into SDI and HD-SDI formats, while also allowing the user to select which part of the screen to output. VGA and HDMI input are also supported, but require the use of additional adapters; this unit comes with two VGA to DVI adapters. In addition to DVI input and output (loop out), the BEM-2F supports a reference signal input, an SDI output, a composite video output (all on BNC connectors), and another SDI output via optical fiber (LC connector). Both analog and digital audio input are supported via a 3.5mm socket, and audio output can be embedded onto the SDI outputs or sent to an AES output (BNC connector). There is a standard USB Type-A port and an RS-232 port for control via a computer or other peripherals.

The BEM-2F, in conjunction with the included BrightEye Software for Mac and Windows, allows computer video to be used for the most demanding applications including broadcast, high-end military, medical, classroom, church, and corporate events. Even a small part of the screen, such as a Skype window, can be selected with a mouse and converted to full screen HD. Resize the selection window by clicking and dragging with your mouse. From your desktop, you have complete and intuitive control of video format, video levels, output timing, audio delay, and the audio channel mix. The BEM-2F provides the functionality and control to operate as a router or switcher.

Q: 1. Will a breakout cable be available for the tally intercom interface?

Q: 2. Does the Talkback 4K come with the Fiber connector as pictured in your description for the Talkback 4K interface? Can I connect BMD Talkback 4K Fiber Connectors to the BMD Studio Fiber connector and have intercom at the BMD URSA Broadcaster Camera Fiber back?

A: The Talkback 4K does not include fiber SFP modules, they can be purchased separately: 3G - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/654839-REG/Blackmagic_Design_ADPT_3GBI_OPT_Adaptor_3G_BD_SFP.html 6G - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1076394-REG/blackmagic_design_adpt_6gbi_opt_adapter_6g_bd.html 12G - https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1447935-REG/blackmagic_design_adpt_12gbi_opt_12g_bd_sfp_optical.html Yes, you can connect the Talkback 4K to the Studio Converter to get talkback on an URSA Broadcast camera with a Fiber Converter attached. You will need an ATEM switcher to pass the talkback channels through. Newer ATEM switchers have talkback built in, so you only need the Talkback 4K if you're using an older model. Consult your manual to see if your ATEM model has talkback built in.

Q: 3. What are the dimensions of the zipped pockets?

A: 16cm wide x 13cm tall, but the max zipper opening is 14cm.

Q: 4. Will an ATEM switcher control tally via ethernet or do you still need to run a GPI Tally Interface for these?

A: The ATEM switcher provides tally over the SDI connection. You connect the ATEM Program out to the Studio Fiber Converter SDI input #1 and assign a camera number. The camera will get tally in this way. You may optionally wire a 3rd party tally to the DB-25 connector but that has nothing to do with the ATEM and is not necessary.
