Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini sound to SDI 12G Converter
As configured for this product, Supporting up to 12G-SDI files rates with smart heat dissipation, and offering several audio source links and an Ethernet control and PoE port, the Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G Converter, from , is a highly improved option for rack-mount as well as lead duct and desktop installations.
Connect any SDI feed in up to Full 4K DCI 4096x2160p definition via a 12G-SDI source, and embed audio into the feed from a varied set of audio links.
Audio embedding accommodates two analog channels or as many as four AES/EBU digital channels through full-size professional balanced XLR connections, two channels of unbalanced analog line-level audio through RCA connectors, or optical S/PDIF audio through a TOSLINK source.
Then feed the combined feed via a 12G-SDI feed. Feed 4096x2160p signals approximately 70 ft through 6G-SDI leads, and run lower-resolution feeds, such as 3G-SDI or HD-SDI, for much longer than standard ranges.
Whenever 12G-SDI cables will be provided on the market, you'll be able to run 4096x2160p feeds for over 250 ft.
The space-efficient size of the Teranex Mini makes it very valuable for portable racks at live productions or in broadcast trucks.
Up to three units can readily be installed in an optional 1U 19" rack tray, and they can only as readily be removed, and all this with the benefit of 12G-SDI function.
The professional XLR links are switchable between well-controlled analog and AES/EBU electronic audio.
The Ethernet port on the rear will enable you to manage the Teranex Mini from a distance or can instead be employed for power over Ethernet.
If you don't require to use power over Ethernet, you won't deliver to deal with cumbersome power supplies, as the Teranex Mini integrates a built-in 90-240V power supply, and all you'll requirement is a standard IEC power lead, sold separately.
The Teranex Mini accepts an optional Smart Panel in place of its standard face, adding a rotary control, color LCD, and six buttons that include menu access.
The substantially large LCD will show you the footage conversion in progress and will additionally let you display audio levels as well as verify timecode and the footage standard being converted.
The standard front panel simply comes off and the Smart Panel readily attaches in its place.
Using the standard front panel gives immediate access to miniature settings switches, guided by the reference graphic printed on the unit.
Installing the optional Smart Panel provides straightforward on-screen menus and displays the conversion currently in progress.
For installations containing many converters, the included Converter Utility centralizes Ethernet management from either Windows or macOS.
What permits the Teranex Mini to dissipate heat so effectively and avoid overheating is a smart thermal configuration with crossflow cooling that achieves the optimal heat dissipation even whenever you deliver units rack-mounted side-by-side one another.
A smart thermal subsystem and onboard heat pipe assist with cooling and maintain the air flowing at all times whereas minimizing noise.
Additionally, an overheating condition triggers an immediate warning both on the front panel and through Ethernet remote control.
Whenever several units are rack-mounted side by side, every Teranex Mini works together to pull air via the rack, keeping all units cool and delivering redundancy for every one.
The Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G Converter is constructed using high-quality Teranex footage processing architecture and is excellent for all broadcast, post workflow, and other professional footage uses.
