Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Quad SDI to 12G-SDI

Settings via mini switches, USB and Ethernet

Core functions are selected with mini switches using the diagram printed on the underside of the converter. From a Mac or Windows computer, the converter can be set up and updated over USB or Ethernet with free software, so even larger installations with many converters can be managed remotely.

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 Quad SDI to 12G-SDI converts a Quad Link SDI signal to the latest 12G-SDI standard, so Ultra HD equipment with Quad Link SDI connections can be connected to new devices with 12G-SDI inputs. Ultra HD outputs carried over four coaxial cables can thus be connected with a single 12G-SDI link – to the latest control rooms, projectors, patch bays and more.

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.
