Frame Rate
When enabled, the frame rate feature tells your converter to detect a video source using 60
frames per second and automatically convert it to 59.94 frames per second. Select or deselect
the checkbox to enable or disable the feature.
This feature is helpful when you want to connect an HDMI source outputting 60 frames per
second to SDI or Optical equipment using a standard HD 59.94 frames per second format.
3G Output
The ‘3G Output’ setting lets you select between Level A or Level B 3G-SDI via optical. This
changes the 3G-SDI output standard to maintain compatibility with equipment that can receive
only level A or level B 3G-SDI video. The default setting is Level B.
Select between ‘auto’, ‘force to HD’, or ‘force to Ultra HD’
conversion settings using the ‘video’ settings page in
Blackmagic Teranex Setup. You can also set your converter
to detect 60 frames per second video and automatically
convert it to 59.94 frames per second for when connecting
to video equipment using the standard 59.94 frame rate.
The ‘audio’ tab for Teranex Mini – HDMI to Optical 12G contains the following settings.
Audio Input Menu
Set XLR Input / Set Audio input
This menu allows you to select between XLR and HDMI audio input. Selecting HDMI will embed
the HDMI audio into the SDI or optical video output. Selecting ‘XLR’ lets you choose between
analog, AES/EBU, and timecode inputs, as well as which channels of your SDI or optical audio
output you wish to embed these into. You can also adjust the gain on the audio signal.
Selecting AES/EBU allows the additional option of checking ‘sample rate converter.’ When this
is selected, the sample rate of your SDI or Optical audio output will be forced to 48kHz, the
correct sample rate for television.
If you need to convert Dolby audio via an AES/EBU source that is sample locked to a reference,
make sure you disable the sample rate converter by deselecting the checkbox, otherwise it
may interfere with your Dolby audio conversion.
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.
