Blackmagic Design Teranex Express — Product Guide

The Blackmagic Design Teranex Express from  is a real-time SD, HD, and Ultra HD broadcast up/down converter.
This lets you convert your SD and HD footage to Ultra HD 4K (3840 x 2160) for presentations on large high-resolution displays, or convert your Ultra HD footage for displaying on HD displays.
With enhanced processing architecture developed and patented by Teranex, you get full 10-little processing with high-quality de-interlace and Ultra HD scaling algorithms.
You can additionally use the Teranex Express to synchronize non genlock outboard feeds or cameras into switchers for live workflow.
Conversions retain timecode, incorporate closed caption files, and preserve audio sync so your footage is prepared for real-time editing or broadcast.
The Teranex Express integrates two SDI source connectors -- one 12G and one 6G -- and matching feed connectors, which support 12G-SDI and a Dual Link 6G-SDI feeds.
The in/out links additionally support SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI feeds, for compatibility with your existing SDI hardware.
Loop feeds for each source and a genlock source are provided, as well as an industry standard socket so you can install an optional optical fiber module to run footage up to 28 miles over fiber optic lead.
Through the identical familiar control panel as the Teranex 2D and 3D, the Teranex Express puts all the settings you requirement at your fingertips.
The built-in LCD display lets you navigate menus and see source configuration and frame rate with live footage, so you don't need an outboard display for operation.
The Teranex Express additionally contains a machined metal front panel, space-efficient 1RU size, and a built-in international power supply.

Practical Notes: Dual-Link 6G and 12G-SDI

12G-SDI supplies 12 Gb/s of across, which is about 8 times faster than HD-SDI.
The increased bandwidth lets you feed Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) over a one lead and support Ultra HD 60p as well as other new formats as they become provided.
The 12G-SDI source/feed connectors, along with the 6G-SDI source/feed connectors (employed for Dual Link signals), are additionally compatible with SD, HD, and 3G-SDI feeds.

Optional Optical Fiber Module: Guide

The Teranex Express can carry footage feeds up to 28 miles over fiber optic leads through the optional Optical Fiber Module.

AFD/WSS: Guide

Active Configuration Spread (AFD) and Widescreen Signaling (WSS) are a standard location of codes that carry information about a footage signal's aspect ratio and active picture characteristics. Ternanew Express preserves AFD and WSS information during the conversion process, so that means your display will automatically choose the correct aspect ratio for footage playback.

Apects Ratio Conversions: Guide

The Teranex Express handles a diverse group of fixed aspect ratios as well as colour fill, letting you conver between 4:3, 16:9, and more.

Closed Caption: Guide

Currently mandatory in many countries for broadcast spread, captions are usually stored as ancillary files embedded into a SDI stream.
The Teranex Express understands the distinct types of Closed Caption files found in SD and HD footage feeds, and will preserve and convert it into the proper CEA-608 or CEA-708 configuration for your feed footage.

Timecode: Guide

ATC/VITC timecode is passed via and retained during the conversion process so source timecode is always preserved.
You additionally deliver the option to jam sync of generate new timecode for inputs that deliver inconsistent or unusable embedded timecode.

Test Pattern Generator: Guide

For colour calibrating displays or aligning digital projectors, the onboard test pattern generator can screen black burst and test patterns, covering SMPTE color bars, grids, and definition charts.

powering

A built-in 110/240V international power supply with a standard IEC link lets you use the Teranex Express anywhere in the world, whenever used with the appropriate power cord.
