Blackmagic Teranex Mini SDI Distribution 12G is a professional SDI distribution amplifier that distributes a single 12G-SDI input to eight fully reclocked outputs. It switches automatically between SD, HD, 2K and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60 and is ideal for feeding monitors, switchers, encoders and recorders. It is powered by the built-in power supply or via PoE+.
Feed monitors, control rooms, encoders, recorders and routers from a single professional SDI signal without daisy chaining and without degrading the signal.

Multi-rate 12G-SDI carries high frame rate Ultra HD on a single BNC cable and also works with existing SD and HD equipment.
Automatic multi-rate SDI.
Simultaneous 12G-SDI outputs.
Restored signal timing.
Embedded SDI audio.
The distribution amplifier copies a single SDI input to eight outputs. Each of them automatically follows the input format – SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD or DCI 4K – so nothing needs switching by hand.

Full reclocking on every output restores signal timing for reliable cable runs. Embedded audio (up to 16 channels) travels together with the picture.

Distribute one SDI signal to monitors, switchers, encoders and recorders at the same time – in the control room, in an outside broadcast truck rack or at a live event.
The optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel replaces the front cover of the converter: remove the two screws on each side, pull the cover off and screw the panel on. The color LCD then shows the video passing through, while the buttons and rotary knob open a settings menu right on the unit – ideal in the field without external monitors and in racks full of converters.

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.

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.

The rear has an IEC power connector, Ethernet with PoE+, a 12G-SDI input and eight 12G-SDI outputs; the front has USB and the mini switches.

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.
