Switches
Teranex Mini – HDMI to Optical 12G’s switches provide the following settings:
Switches 8 – Analog Audio, AES/EBU Audio
Set switch 8 to ‘off’ to embed balanced analog audio. Set to ‘on’ for digital AES/EBU audio. To
use these inputs switch 7 must also be set to ‘on’.
Switches 7 – HDMI Audio, Input Audio
Set switch 7 to ‘off’ to select embedded HDMI audio, or to ‘on’ for analog or AES/EBU audio.
Switch 6 – Input Audio/Timecode
Set switch 6 to ‘on’ to input timecode via the R channel audio XLR connector. Set to ‘off’ to
input audio.
Switch 5 – 60 to 59.94 Off/On
When set to ‘on’, this setting will allow your converter to detect any HDMI source video running
1080p at 60 frames per second and automatically convert it to interlaced video at 59.94 fields
per second.
For example, you may need to connect a computer’s HDMI output to a switcher using the
standard 1080i 59.94 frame rate. Some computers output 60 frames per second, so by setting
switch 5 to ‘on’ your converter will always detect 1080p at 60 frames per second and convert it
to 1080i at 59.94 fields per second.
Switches 2, 1 – Select Format Bit 1, 0
When connecting an HDMI source that can output Ultra HD and HD, you can set your converter
to force the source output to one or the other. This can be helpful when you want to record or
display your computer’s desktop on SDI or Optical equipment in HD so it is larger and
easy to view.
