Introducing Teranex Mini, the next generation 12G-SDI converters with award winning Teranex quality and supportĀ for all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60! AllĀ 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! Teranex Mini features a user upgradable front panel that includes a color display and userĀ controls so you can quickly monitor video and change settings right from the front of the converter! You get all of the same great features of regular mini converters and so muchĀ more!
Use Anywhere
The worldās mostversatileĀ converters!
The all new Teranex Mini converters make building facilities and supporting all different types of video equipment easier than ever before. Teranex Mini is perfect for broadcast installations because they can be rack mounted and the optional front panel lets you see whatās 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 andĀ projectors!

Reinventing the MiniĀ Converter
The first mini converter you donāt have toĀ hide!
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 Miniās new flexible design lets you use them on the desktop where you can see them, or rack mount them in larger broadcast systems. Unlike regular mini converters, you get full size professional XLR audio connections built into the converters, plus each converter has an ethernet connection so they canĀ be administered remotely. You get mini switches so you can change settings instantly or, whenĀ youāre doing mission critical work, you can add the optional front panel to see exactly whatĀ youāreĀ converting.

Rack Mountable
The world’s first 12GāSDI rack mountĀ converters!
Card based rack converters are expensive, cannot handle high SDI speeds such as 12GāSDI and you have to buy an entire rack chassis even if you only want to install one converter. Teranex Minis can be rack mounted in combinations of one or more and you can take them out and use them non rack mounted whenever you need! You get built inĀ AC power and ethernet on every converter so thereās no single point of failure. UnlikeĀ card based converters, you can walk up and change settings from the front panel, monitor the video going through each converter, and you can also manage them remotely over ethernet! Because theyāre so small you can mount them in the front or the rear of an equipment rack or roadĀ case.

Smart Thermal Design
Easily handles 12G-SDI in toughĀ environments!
Teranex Mini features an innovative thermal design with crossflow cooling that keepsĀ them running perfectly, even when rack mounted side by side and in tough environments! An intelligent thermal subsystem and internal heat pipe assist with cooling and keeps the air flowing at all times while minimizing noise. When rack mounted side by side, each Teranex Mini works together to pull air through the rack keeping them all cool and providing redundancy for eachĀ converter.

Teranex Mini SmartĀ Panel
Monitor video on yourĀ converter!
The Teranex Mini Smart Panel takes the guesswork out of using a converter! Now you can see the video going through your converter using the built in LCD screen. The panel also features push buttons and an easy to navigate on-screen menu that lets you quickly adjust and save settings. TheĀ Teranex Mini Smart Panel is perfect when youāre out in the field or on set without external monitors, or even when you have multiple converters mounted in equipment racks and just want to see whatās going through themĀ all!

Remove the two screws on each side of the existing panel and gently pull itĀ off.
Plug in the Teranex Mini Smart Panel and fasten using theĀ screws.

Broadcast Connections
True XLR audio, ethernet andbuilt in IEC AC powerĀ connectors
All Teranex Mini converters feature standard, professional broadcast quality connectors, includingĀ full size professional XLR audio connections and high speed BNC connections for handling the extremely high bandwidth of cutting edge 12G-SDI technology. AllĀ models feature a built in multi volt 90V-240V AC power supply and standard IEC AC power connector so you can use any regular power cable. The built in ethernet connection allows remote administration and can also be used to power the converter when connected to power over ethernetĀ switch.


Digital and AnalogĀ Audio
Truly professional qualityĀ audio!
The professional XLR connections can be switched between balanced analog or AES/EBU digital audio so you can connect to any professional analog or digital audio equipment. IfĀ youāre running pro digital audio gear, you can keep your audio digital the whole way through for perfect digital quality. With professional audio built into every converter, youĀ can connect to pro audio gear likeĀ mixers, effects processors, compressors, limiters and more into SDI based video systems. ForĀ analog audio, Teranex Miniās feature an extremely low noise floor of more than -115 dBFS so even analog audio background noise is virtuallyĀ silent.

HDMI Instant Lock
Get instant image lockĀ whenusing consumer HDMIĀ TVās
HDMI televisions and projectors make great monitors, butĀ they can take a long time to lock onto a signal when a new source is connected. The SDI to HDMI model includes our new HDMI Instant Lock feature that fixes this problem because it continues sending an active HDMI signal to the display even when the SDI input is disconnected. If an SDI input is connected thatās the same format as the previous signal, it can lock instantly and in as little as 1 frame! ThatĀ means if you install a Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 12G model to the output of your router, when you switch sources the monitor will update instantly. Itās just like using a clean switchĀ router!

Optical Fiber Models
Build broadcastfacilities using opticalĀ fiber!
Optical fiber SDI is becoming more popular because itĀ handles extremely long distances, even at the high speedsĀ of 12G-SDI. Optical fiber cables can be installed by electricians or computer networking installers so itāsĀ easy to use. Each model of Teranex Mini has a corresponding optical fiber model so you can run native optical fiber systems and convert directly from optical fiber to HDMI, analog video or audio. HDMI models of Teranex Mini have a corresponding optical fiber model so you can run native optical fiber systems and convert directly from optical fiberĀ toĀ HDMI.

When using the optional Teranex Smart Panel, settings can be changed using the push buttons and simple on screen menus. IfĀ youāre in a larger facility using lots of converters, you can manage them over ethernet from aĀ MacĀ or Windows computer using the included Converter UtilityĀ software.

Highest Quality!
Patented TeranexImageĀ Processing
Built using high quality Teranex video processing technology, Teranex Mini is ideal for all broadcast, post production and professional video applications. YouĀ get full SDI reāclocking and low jitter so you can use longer cables and because Teranex Miniās have been designed for 12GāSDI, you get extremely long cable lengths when running at slower SDI speeds such as 6GāSDI, 3GāSDI and HDāSDI. When converting to analog you get extremely low noise because of the high quality 12-bit video processing. When youāre running Ultra HD to analog video Teranex Miniās will upscale or down convert to analog HD automatically!
