“Regardless of how quickly we need to take Mitto to air, it works famously every time. And it looks spectacular. When
we covered the blizzards last winter, all of our user-generated content submissions and Skype camethrough Mitto.”
~ John Schilberg, VP of Technology, Grin Communications, KWTV, KOTV and KQCW
By Engineers, For Engineers
In 1989, a former television station engineer who loved designing
and building video equipment, decided to start a new company.
He relished the idea of taking an existing group of equipment
and adding a few special pieces in order to create an even more
elegant ensemble. So, he designed and built his rst product and
the company was born.
Focused On What You Need
As the company has grown, more former TV station engineers have
joined Ensemble Designs and this wealth of practical
experience fuels the company’s innovation. Everyone at the
company is focused on providing the very equipment you need
to complete your ensemble of video and audio gear. We oer
those special pieces that tie everything together so that when
combined, the whole ensemble is exactly what you need.
Notably Great Service for You
We listen to you – just tell us what you need and we’ll do our best
to build it. We are completely focused on you and the equipment
you need. Being privately held means we don’t have to worry
about a big board of directors or anything else that might take
attention away from real business. And, you can be sure that
when you call a real person will answer the phone. We love this
business and we’re here to stay.
Bricks and Mortar of Your Facility
The bricks and mortar of a facility include pieces like
up/downconverters, audio embedders, video converters,
protection switches, routers and SPGs for SD, HD and 3Gb/s .
That’s what we’re focused on, that’s all we do – we make proven
and reliable signal processing and infrastructure gear for
video facilities worldwide, for you.

Easy To Use
BrightEye Mitto is easy to use, both from the software interface and the front panel.
Screen selection, video format, timing and many of the other controls can be accessed with push
buttons from the Mitto front panel.
BrightEye Mac/PC software is included with each unit at no charge and provides an additional level
of control. BrightEye Mac/PC software runs overtop of any video, web site or software. The Selection
Tool shows up as a black box around your selection and shows the portion of the video that will be
output from BrightEye Mitto. Simply use your mouse to click and drag over the specific portion of
computer video that you want to output. The perspective of seeing the whole screen gives you the
ability to choose exactly which portion of the video you want to output. It’s easy to output the entire
screen or just a selected portion. You can quickly and easily resize the selection window by clicking
and dragging with your mouse. Mitto’s video output automatically goes to pillarbox or letterbox as
needed. Mitto automatically maintains perfect aspect ratio.
From the software you have complete and intuitive control of timing, video format, and video level
adjustments. Presets enable you to store your favorite settings. You can easily time Mitto into a video
production switcher or router. Use BrightEye Mac/PC software to control a single BrightEye unit or any
number of units connected to a USB hub.
Exclusive Filtering and Scaling Technology
A superior quality scan converter, Mitto has the advantage of proprietary scaling technology and
exclusive multi-tap filtering. Even a small part of the computer screen, such as a YouTube video,
will be upconverted to full screen HD. The region selected for output determines if Mitto acts as an
upconverter or downconverter. The filters automatically adjust according to the conversion
being performed.
Bringing progressive images from the desktop into the interlaced world of video used to be a
compromise between sharp details versus interfield flicker. Mitto’s advanced filtering satisfies both of
these requirements. The result is that the output looks as good, or better, than the original and passes
the most stringent testing.
Digital and Analog Video
The intuitive front panel interface, or the included BrightEye Mac/PC software makes it easy to choose
the desired video output format, HD SDI or SD SDI. Additionally, 3G output is available on
Models BEM-1 and BEM-1F. Models BEM-1F and BEM-2F also offer a fiber optic output. On all four
Mitto models covered in this manual, when the digital output is SD SDI, analog composite video is also
output on a separate BNC. The genlock reference input allows the video output to be timed to house.
Audio Capabilities
The audio input accepts analog and AES audio. Audio is embedded into the SDI outputs which is
useful for many high end applications, such as integration with video servers and routers. Audio delay
controls let you adjust the audio with respect to video for perfect lip sync, which is crucial when using
Skype video in a production environment.

Free Software Upgrades
Use BrightEye Mac/PC software to control a single BrightEye unit or any number of units connected to
a USB hub. The software is included with each unit at no charge.
BrightEye Mitto’s software is easily upgraded through the unit’s USB port. Software upgrades are
available at no charge for the life of the product and are conveniently downloadable from either of the
following links:

Functional Description
Video
The BrightEye Mitto family of scan converters all accept a DVI, VGA or HDMI input. The HDMI input
requires an adaptor. The output options vary by model as follows:
BEM-1: 3G, HD, SD, Composite
BEM-1F: Fiber Optic, 3G, HD, SD, Composite
BEM-2: HD, SD, Composite
BEM-2F: Fiber Optic, HD, SD, Composite
In a typical application, Mitto sits between the computer and the computer monitor. The computer
feeds the DVI-I input. The Mitto DVI-I Loop Out feeds the computer monitor. The maximum resolution
supported is 1920 x 1200 which is excellent for HD applications.
Mitto’s DVI/VGA Input and the DVI/VGA Loop Out use DVI-I (integrated) connectors which provide
both digital and analog connectivity. The larger group of pins are digital while the four pins on the
right are analog. Included with every Mitto are two 15-pin, VGA-to-DVI adapters for use in legacy
installations.
SDI Out 1 and 2 output SD SDI, 1.5 Gb/s HD SDI, or 3 Gb/s HD SDI video. The output includes only the
portion of the computer screen that you have selected with Mitto. Mitto upconverts or downconverts
the signal depending on how much of the computer video you select and the output standard you
select. On Models BEM-1 and BEM-2, SDI Out 1 and 2 are both electrical outputs (BNC). On Models
BEM-1F and BEM-2F, SDI Out 1 is electrical (BNC) and SDI Out 2 is Fiber Optic.
The Composite Out BNC provides composite video out when SD is selected on the SDI outputs. If HD
is selected on the SDI outputs then the composite out BNC outputs black. Alternately, the Composite
Out BNC can be set to output AES audio in the Output Menu of the BrightEye Mac/PC software.
Audio
Mitto has four audio sources to draw from:
Analog audio in
AES audio in
Audio coming in along with an HDMI input
Mitto’s internal tone generator
AES digital audio or analog audio can be fed from the computer’s headphone out or line out into
Mitto’s audio input. The audio input is a 1/8 inch stereo mini-jack that goes to a stereo analog-to-
digital converter with two AES receivers which are followed by two sample rate converters. Two
channels of analog audio or four channels (two streams) of AES digital audio are supported on
this input.
If an HDMI input is used, 8 channels of embedded audio may be present.
When Mitto’s internal test pattern generator is turned on (located in the Output Menu), color bars and
a 1.0 KHz tone will be on the SDI outputs.

BrightEye Mitto Family - Page 12
Mitto Family of Scan Converters User Guide
www.ensembledesigns.com
The built-in audio mixer provides for level adjustment, channel tie, and output assignment controls
for up to four channels of output. If you use the audio control on Mitto’s front panel, the slider controls
will automatically tie together.
The audio appears in the embedded SDI outputs and, if desired, can also be output as AES on the
Composite Out BNC.
RS-232 and GPI Control
Mitto’s RS-232/GPI port is dual functioning. In the Config Menu you can set the function of the
RS-232/GPI connector to Console or to Memory Regs.
When set to Memory Regs, the D connector provides GPI outputs for use with an external control
panel, such as the Ensemble Designs Avenue GPI Control Panel (part number XYCP). External control
panels provide recall only, they cannot memorize settings.
When set to Console, the D connector provides RS-232 control for an external device to control Mitto,
such as AMX or Crestron.
