Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/MB/HOPT Teranex Mini - HDMI to Optical 12G

The Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/MB/HOPT, also named as Teranex Mini - HDMI to Optical 12G is professionally designed capable of allowing you to convert an HDMI signal to a 12G-SDI output, or install an optional optical fiber module and convert an HDMI signal to fiber. In either case, the output is possible to automatically be match the HDMI input resolution. Up to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) 60p resolution is supported on both input and output.

An optical fiber module is not included but it is made supported on the rear. 3G and 6G modules are currently available (model #s ADPT-3GBI/OPT and ADPT-6GBI/OPT), and 12G modules are in the works.

The Teranex Mini HDMI to Optical 12G Converter also designed featuring a full-size XLR inputs that are switchable between balanced analog and AES/EBU digital audio, and which are allowing you for connecting separate audio. The converter also comes with an Ethernet port that is giving you the capability of managing the converter remotely from a Mac or Windows computer with the use of the included Converter Utility software. This capability is especially useful by the time you're in a larger facility with the use of numerous converters.

The Ethernet port is possible to alternatively be used for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). If you don't want to use PoE, 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.

The Teranex Mini is possible to be used rack-mounted, concealed in cable ducts, or desktop-mounted. Its compact size design is making it useful for portable racks at live events or in broadcast trucks. Up to three units is possible to easily be installed in an optional 1 RU 19" rack tray.

The standard front panel is possible to be replaced with an optional Smart Panel that is capable of offering a spin knob, color LCD, and six control buttons, that includes a menu button. The substantially large LCD will show you the video conversion in progress and will also gives you the sight to monitor audio levels and verify timecode. The standard front panel 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 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 while seeing exactly what you're converting.

The Teranex Mini is designed along with intelligent heat dissipation that prevents overheating. What is making this feature so effective 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.
