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 – SDI to Analog 12G contains the following settings.
Video Output Menu
This lets you pick between component, or s-video and composite video output 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 and composite output, 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.
Video Processing Menu
This menu allows you to set the aspect ratio of down converted video. The options are
letterbox, anamorphic, center cut or no processing.
The ‘audio’ tab for Teranex Mini – SDI to Analog 12G contains the following settings.
Audio Output Menu
This menu allows you to select between analog, AES/EBU, and timecode audio outputs, as well
as which channels of your SDI audio input you wish to de-embed. You can also adjust the gain
on the audio output.
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.
Adjust your video luminance and chroma levels and component chroma
levels using the ‘video’ settings page in Blackmagic Teranex Setup.
