Blackmagic Teranex Setup Settings
The Teranex setup utility can change all the same settings
that are available using the switches, plus additional settings.
You can access these settings by moving between the 'video,'
'audio,' 'configure,' and 'about' tabs.
The 'about' and 'configure' tabs are detailed in the 'Changing
settings' section in this manual.
The 'video' tab for Teranex Mini Analog to SDI 12G contains
the following settings.
Video Input menu
This lets you pick between component, s-video, and
composite video input as well as setting the luminance
and chroma levels, and the B-Y and R-Y component
levels independently.
If you have selected S-Video or composite input, you can
additionally choose between 7.5 IRE and 0.0 IRE black
levels, depending on the region you are working in.
If you have selected component video, you can switch
between SMPTE and Betacam levels. SMPTE levels are
more common and even Betacam SP decks can use SMPTE
levels, so only switch this to Betacam if you are sure that
Betacam levels are being used.
The switch legend on the base of your Teranex Mini gives you
all the information you need to change conversion settings.
Video Processing menu
This menu allows you to set up conversion options, dependent
on your analog video input. Component video inputs can
be converted from SD to HD, and HD to Ultra HD. S-Video
and composite inputs can only be converted from SD to HD.
The 'audio' tab for Teranex Mini Analog to SDI 12G contains
the following settings.
Audio input menu
This menu allows you to select between analog, AES/EBU,
and timecode audio inputs, as well as which channels of
your SDI audio output you wish to embed these into. You
can also adjust the gain on the audio signal.
Selecting AES/EBU allows the additional option of checking
'sample rate conversion.' When this is selected, the sample
rate of your SDI audio output will be up- or down- converted
to 24-bit, 48kHz.
Your Teranex Mini will retain its last settings whether
applied via switch, Smart Panel or Teranex setup utility. If
reverting to switch control after removing the Smart Panel
or updating your converter's settings via software, you may
need to toggle individual switches for new settings to
take effect.
