Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 12G Converter

The Teranex Mini - SDI to HDMI 12G from Blackmagic Design is one of their next generation mini converters featuring 12G optical fiber and 12G-SDI, which supports all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. This model converts converts from 12G-SDI to HDMI. This model supports all video formats including SD, HD, 6G and 12G-SDI rates and includes down converter when working with Ultra HD as the HDMI monitor will select the best format it can support. De-embed audio to balanced analog or AES/EBU formats and timecode output is another useful aspect of this unit. Perfect for using HDMI televisions as SDI broadcast monitors and for connecting to video projectors.

All Teranex Minis include an internal AC power supply, professional XLR analog and AES/EBU audio connections and an ethernet connection for remote management and PoE alternate power. The Teranex Mini lineup is perfect for broadcast installations because they can be rack mounted and the optional front panel lets you see what’s being converted on the screen. They can even be remote managed over ethernet. Their compact size makes them great for portable racks at live events or in broadcast trucks, plus they have professional XLR audio connections for connecting to mixers and other audio gear. You can even use them in editing and color grading suites to drive big screen displays and projectors.

Teranex Minis are so small that you can use them like regular mini converters such as hiding them in cable ducts, behind equipment and attached to televisions for monitoring. Teranex Mini’s new flexible design lets you use them on the desktop where you can see them, or rack mount them in larger broadcast systems.

The family of Teranex Mini converters include cutting edge, multi rate 12G-SDI technology that’s 8 times faster than regular HD-SDI. 12G-SDI is multi rate so it will automatically detect and change between all SD, HD and Ultra HD video formats instantly, so you can connect Teranex Mini to all of your existing SD and HD equipment. 12G-SDI supports high frame rate Ultra HD up to 2160p60 on a single BNC cable so you can work in Ultra HD and keep your high frame rate production workflow for fast moving sports and action programming.

Another innovative feature to consider is the optional Teranex Mini - Smart Panel that includes a spin knob, color LCD and multiple buttons. This means the user can simply remove the basic front panel from a Teranex Mini and replace it with a Teranex Mini Smart Panel to allow full setup and control from the front panel.

NOTE: Blackmagic does not include IEC cables on this product. We recommend also buying a C2G 03133, a 6’ IEC universal power cable.
