Teranex Mini - SDI to AUDIO 12G
Advanced High-Data Rate De-Embedder
De-Embed Audio from up to 4K SDI Signals
Overview
De-embed
audio from any SD, HD or Ultra HD SDI video connection and output 2 channels of
analog audio to balanced XLR, optical or HiFi RCA, or output up to 4 channels
of AES/EBU digital audio. Perfect for converting and outputting SDI audio to a
massive range of audio equipment such as audio mixers, iPods, analog broadcast
decks, audio monitors and more.
- Supporting up to 12G-SDI data rates with intelligent heat
dissipation, and offering multiple audio output connections and an Ethernet
control and PoE port, the Teranex Mini SDI to Audio 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 de-embed audio from the
signal and output it via a diverse set of audio connections. Output 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
output. Connect the audio signal to a wide range of audio equipment, such as
mixers, decks, and audio monitors. There's also a 12G-SDI output for routing
the original signal. Route 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.
