Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Optical to HDMI 12G

Monitoring with automatic down conversion

HDMI 2.0 supports up to 2160p60, while the built-in down conversion selects a compatible HD format for displays without Ultra HD. Balanced XLR audio and a timecode output are also available.

Professional XLR audio

Output two channels of balanced analog audio or four channels of AES/EBU via full size XLR connections – straight into a mixer or other audio equipment. The right XLR can be set as a timecode output.

All optical systems

Every HDMI model of Teranex Mini has a corresponding optical fiber model, so you can build native optical fiber systems and convert from optical fiber directly to HDMI – in a control room rack or an outside broadcast truck.

In the rack or on the desk

The compact converter can sit on a desk, hide behind equipment or be rack mounted – the optional Blackmagic Universal Rack Shelf (1U) holds Teranex Mini together with other 1/3 and 1/2 rack width Blackmagic products. Crossflow cooling with a heat pipe keeps the converters running even when mounted side by side.

About the Teranex Mini range

Teranex Mini uses an innovative crossflow cooling design with an internal heat pipe. The converters can therefore work reliably side by side in a rack, on a desk or in a mobile setup without the powerful 12G-SDI circuitry adding unnecessary noise.

The multi-rate 12G-SDI interface automatically detects SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60 and stays compatible with older SDI equipment. A single standard BNC cable therefore covers both current and older studio installations.

The built-in universal power supply (100–240 V AC) removes the need for an external adapter; it connects with a regular IEC power cable, which is not included. Ethernet is used for remote management and can also power the converter from a PoE+ switch. The optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel adds an LCD preview, a rotary knob and direct settings control.
