Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/CB/AUSDI Teranex Mini - Audio to SDI 12G

Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/CB/AUSDI Teranex Mini - Audio to SDI 12G

The Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/CB/AUSDI, also named Teranex Mini - Audio to SDI 12G, is capable of supporting up to 12G-SDI data rates that comes along with intelligent heat dissipation, and capable of offering multiple audio input connections and an Ethernet control and PoE port, the Teranex Mini Audio to SDI 12G Converter, from Blackmagic Design, is professionally designed as a highly improved solution for rack-mount as well as cable duct and desktop installations. You can connect any SDI signal in up to Full 4K DCI 4096x2160p resolution using 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 with the use of full-size, professional, balanced XLR ports, two channels of unbalanced analog line-level audio using the RCA connectors, or optical S/PDIF audio with the use of a TOSLINK input. Then output the combined signal using a 12G-SDI output. Output 4096x2160p signals approximately 70 ft with the use of 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 is making it very useful for use at portable racks at live events or in broadcast trucks. Up to three units is possible to easily be installed in an optional 1U 19" rack tray, and they are made capable to just as easily be removed, and all this with the advantage of 12G-SDI capability. The Ethernet port on the rear is designed capable of allowing you for managing the Teranex Mini remotely or capable to 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 is possible to be replaced along with an optional Smart Panel that is made featuring a spin knob, color LCD, and six control buttons, that includes a menu button. The substantially large LCD is designed for showing 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 is designed simply comes off and the Smart Panel easily attaches in its place. By the time 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 along with a diagram printed on the converter. If you swap in the optional Smart Panel, you'll instead be capable of using a simple on-screen menus as well as see exactly what you're converting. If you're in a larger facility with the use of numerous converters, you are capable to manage all of them over Ethernet from a Mac or Windows computer using the included Converter Utility software.

What is enabling the Teranex Mini to dissipate heat so effectively and designed for the prevention of the 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.
