Teranex Mini - Audio to SDI 12G embed up to or 4 channels of AES/EBU digital audio into any SD, HD, Ultra HD or DCI 4K SDI.
Overview Embed
up to 2 channels of audio from balanced analog, optical or HiFi RCA, or embed
up to or 4 channels of AES/EBU digital audio into any SD, HD, Ultra HD or DCI
4K SDI video connection. Take audio from devices such as audio mixers, iPods
and analog decks and embed it into SDI video connections for use with SDI routers
and decks.
Supporting up to 12G-SDI data rates with intelligent heat
dissipation, and offering multiple audio input connections and an Ethernet
control and PoE port, the Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G Converter, from
Blackmagic Design, is a highly improved solution for rack-mount as well as
cable duct and desktop installations. Connect any SDI signal in up to Full 4K
DCI 4096x2160p resolution via a 12G-SDI input, and embed audio into the signal
from a diverse set of audio connections. Embed two channels of analog audio or
up to four channels of AES/EBU digital audio via full-size, professional,
balanced XLR ports, two channels of unbalanced analog line-level audio via RCA
connectors, or optical S/PDIF audio via a TOSLINK input. Then output the
combined signal via a 12G-SDI output. Output 4096x2160p signals approximately
70 ft using 6G-SDI cables, and run lower-resolution signals, such as 3G-SDI or
HD-SDI, for much longer than standard lengths. When 12G-SDI cables will be
available on the market, you'll be able to run 4096x2160p signals for over 250
ft.
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
professional XLR connections are switchable between balanced analog and AES/EBU
digital audio. 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.
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. The
substantially large LCD will show you the video conversion in progress and will
also let you monitor audio levels as well as verify timecode and the video
standard being converted. The standard front panel simply comes off and the
Smart Panel easily attaches in its place. 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. If you're in a
larger facility using numerous converters, you can manage all of them over
Ethernet from a Mac or Windows computer using the included Converter Utility
software.
What enables the Teranex Mini to dissipate heat so
effectively and prevent overheating is a smart thermal design with crossflow
cooling that achieves the optimal heat dissipation even when you have units
rack-mounted side-by-side one another. An intelligent thermal subsystem and
internal heat pipe assist with cooling and keep the air flowing at all times
while minimizing noise. Moreover, if the Teranex Mini gets too hot, you'll
instantly receive a notification through the remote control Ethernet utility
and on the front panel. When multiple units are rack-mounted side by side, each
Teranex Mini works together to pull air through the rack, keeping all units
cool and providing redundancy for each one.
The Teranex Mini Audio 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.
