Blackmagic Design Teranex AV

Freeze frame

The current frame can be held on screen until you switch to another output, black or the still store, so the audience does not see the presenter changing a presentation. Transitions between outputs take 0 to 5 seconds and dissolve through black.

HDMI and professional SDI

The HDMI 2.0a input, loop and output work alongside 12G-SDI, so you can convert HDMI to SDI without external adapters and send the picture to a projector and downstream equipment at once. Audio from XLR (analog or AES/EBU) and RCA HiFi can be embedded into both HDMI and SDI outputs. A socket for an optional SFP optical module extends routes over long distances, and metal bumper guards at the rear protect the connections.

Quad SDI for video walls

Four 3G-SDI outputs carry Ultra HD as Quad Link for monitors and projectors with HD inputs, or split the picture into four HD quadrants for four displays or large LED walls. For other formats they provide four replicated outputs.

About the Teranex AV converter

Teranex AV is a low latency converter designed for live production, professional AV installations and large screen projection systems.

Alongside extensive conversions between SD, HD and Ultra HD formats, it works with professional SDI and widely available HDMI 2.0a at the same time, including an HDMI loop.

For live use, the still store and instant freeze frame are important. Splitting the picture into four quadrants helps in multi-display setups.

XLR, AES/EBU and RCA audio, a reference input, Ethernet control and optional optical SDI connection are built into a compact 1RU chassis.
