Ensemble Designs BrightEye 5 Reviews

Works well (after a small learning curve).

By Mark
Rated 5 out of 5

The input/output/processing options controlled via USB are sufficient to tweak the composite input. The learning curve was getting used to options that use unfamiliar terms. The output was stable and the Freeze on Error option helped poor quality sections of my VHS tapes be viewable. The support staff were responsive and helpful. While there was a warrantee return necessary, it was pilot error on my part.
