Blackmagic Teranex Mini SDI to Analog 12G is a professional 12G-SDI to analog video converter with Composite, S-Video (Y/C) or Component outputs. It automatically handles SD, HD, 2K and Ultra HD signals up to 2160p60, offers a 12G-SDI loop output, HD down conversion and analog or AES/EBU audio outputs via XLR. It connects Betacam SP, VHS and analog monitors.
Connect a modern SDI infrastructure to component monitors, archive recorders or analog equipment. The converter accepts SD, HD, 2K and Ultra HD signals and automatically selects the matching mode.

Built-in HD down conversion makes an Ultra HD signal available to equipment that works only in SD or HD.
SD, HD, 2K and Ultra HD input.
Low noise analog output.
Embedded SDI audio.
12G-SDI loop output.
The analog output can be set to Composite, Y/C (S-Video) or Component. The converter thus links a professional 12G-SDI signal with a wide range of older displays and recorders – from Betacam SP to VHS. The reclocked 12G-SDI loop output lets the signal continue to another SDI device.

When converting to analog, Teranex Mini uses high quality 12-bit video processing, so the analog output has extremely low noise. An Ultra HD signal is converted to analog HD automatically.
Two balanced analog channels are available on XLR. Alternatively, four channels of AES/EBU digital audio can be output; the right XLR can be set as a timecode output. SDI audio uses the standard 48 kHz / 24-bit sampling.

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 loop output, three BNC connectors for analog video (Composite, S-Video or Component) and two XLR audio connections; 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.
