Blackmagic Teranex Mini HDMI to Optical 12G Converter.

Description

Overview

A major benefit of the Teranex Mini is that the standard front panel can be replaced with an optional Smart Panel that features a spin knob, color LCD, and six control buttons, including a menu button. When you’re using the standard front panel, you’ll have access to an array of mini switches that will let you change settings instantly in correspondence with a diagram printed on the converter. If you swap in the optional Smart Panel, you’ll instead be able to use simple on-screen menus as well as see exactly what you’re converting.

Features

The Blackmagic Teranex Mini HDMI to Optical 12G Converter, from Blackmagic Design, is a highly improved solution for rack-mount as well as cable duct and desktop installations. This model is an optical fiber version of the Teranex Mini HDMI to SDI model, featuring an optical fiber output in addition to the SDI output to give you a choice of both. Both support up to 12G data rates and you can route your HDMI signal in up to Full 4K DCI 4096x2160p resolution via either. You can also connect separate audio via full-size XLR connectors that are switchable between balanced analog and AES/EBU digital audio. The SDI output will allow you to run 4096x2160p signals approximately 70 ft using 6G-SDI cables, while the optical output is capable of extra long distances. When 12G-SDI cables will be available on the market, you’ll be able to route 4096x2160p signals for over 250 ft over the SDI output.

Design

The compact size of the Teranex Mini makes it very useful for portable racks at live events or in broadcast trucks. Up to three units can easily be installed in an optional 1U 19″ rack tray, and they can just as easily be removed, and all this with the advantage of 12G-SDI capability. The Ethernet port on the rear will allow you to manage the Teranex Mini remotely or can alternatively be used for power over Ethernet. If you don’t want to use power over Ethernet, you won’t have to deal with cumbersome power supplies, as the Teranex Mini features a built-in 90-240V power supply, and all you’ll need is a standard IEC power cable, sold separately.

SDI 12G Converter

The Teranex Mini HDMI to SDI 12G Converter is built using high-quality Teranex video processing technology and is ideal for all broadcast, post-production, and other professional video applications.
