Changing Settings
There are three ways to change settings on your Teranex Mini. You can use the switches on the
front panel, the Blackmagic Teranex Setup utility, or by mounting a Teranex Mini Smart Panel
which lets you change settings using control buttons, a rotary knob and LCD.
Changing Settings using Switches
On the original basic panel of your Teranex Mini you’ll see a rubber dust cover which protects a
set of small switches used for settings on your converter. The ‘on/off’ switches are used to
configure internal settings and you can easily change them using the tip of a pen.
You’ll find a switch settings diagram printed on the base of your converter. Ensure your switch
settings correspond to the legend by observing the switch numbers from 1 to 8, left to right.
When using the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel, the switch settings will be overridden by the
Smart Panel settings. Your Teranex Mini will retain its last settings whether applied via switch,
Smart Panel or Blackmagic Teranex Setup software. 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.
For a full description of the switches and their settings, refer to your converter model in this
manual. Even though switch settings are printed on the base of your converter, new features in
later updates can add new settings so it’s worth checking the latest version of this manual for
the most up to date information. You can download the latest version from the
Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

Changing Settings using Blackmagic Teranex Setup
Once installed on your computer, connect the setup utility to your Teranex Mini via USB or
Ethernet. If you can’t find your Teranex Mini via Ethernet, you may first need to configure it using
a USB connection as detailed in the section ‘changing network settings.’
The first thing you’ll see when launching the software is the home page. Here you can select
the Teranex Mini you want to configure. To change settings, click on the ‘settings’ icon below
the image of your Teranex Mini.
If you have more than one Teranex Mini connected to your network, only the relevant settings
for your selected Teranex Mini will be visible. Select your desired converter by clicking the
arrows on the left and right side of the Blackmagic Teranex Setup home page.
Adjustments will be immediately saved to your Teranex Mini. This means if power is lost, your
settings will be re-established as soon as power is restored.
