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 Analog to SDI 12G contains the following settings.
Video Input Menu
This lets you pick between component, s-video, and composite video input 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 or composite input, 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.
