The first mini converter you don’t have to hideTeranex Minis are so small that you can use them like regular mini converters such as hiding them in cable ducts, behind equipment and attached to televisions for monitoring. Teranex Mini’s new flexible design lets you use them on the desktop where you can see them, or rack mount them in larger broadcast systems. Unlike regular mini converters, you get full size professional XLR audio connections built into the converters, plus each converter has an ethernet connection so they can be administered remotely. You get mini switches so you can change settings instantly or, when you’re doing mission critical work, you can add the optional front panel to see exactly what you’re converting.

The world's first 12G‑SDI rack mount convertersCard based rack converters are expensive, cannot handle high SDI speeds such as 12G‑SDI and you have to buy an entire rack chassis even if you only want to install one converter. Teranex Minis can be rack mounted in combinations of one or more and you can take them out and use them non-rack mounted whenever you need! You get built in AC power and ethernet on every converter so there’s no single point of failure. Unlike card-based converters, you can walk up and change settings from the front panel, monitor the video going through each converter, and you can also manage them remotely over ethernet! Because they’re so small you can mount them in the front or the rear of an equipment rack or road case.

Easily handles 12G-SDI in tough environmentsTeranex Mini features an innovative thermal design with crossflow cooling that keeps them running perfectly, even when rack mounted side by side and in tough environments! An intelligent thermal subsystem and internal heat pipe assist with cooling and keeps the air flowing at all times while minimizing noise. When rack mounted side by side, each Teranex Mini works together to pull air through the rack keeping them all cool and providing redundancy for each converter.

Monitor video on your converterThe Teranex Mini Smart Panel takes the guesswork out of using a converter. Now you can see the video going through your converter using the built in LCD screen. The panel also features push buttons and an easy to navigate on-screen menu that lets you quickly adjust and save settings. The Teranex Mini Smart Panel is perfect when you’re out in the field or on set without external monitors, or even when you have multiple converters mounted in equipment racks and just want to see what’s going through them all.

True XLR audio, ethernet and built in IEC AC power connectorsAll Teranex Mini converters feature standard, professional broadcast quality connectors, including full size professional XLR audio connections and high-speed BNC connections for handling the extremely high bandwidth of cutting edge 12G-SDI technology. All models feature a built in multi volt 90V-240V AC power supply and standard IEC AC power connector so you can use any regular power cable. The built in ethernet connection allows remote administration and can also be used to power the converter when connected to power over ethernet switch.

Truly professional quality audioThe professional XLR connections can be switched between balanced analogue or AES/EBU digital audio so you can connect to any professional analogue or digital audio equipment. If you’re running pro digital audio gear, you can keep your audio digital the whole way through for perfect digital quality. With professional audio built into every converter, you can connect to pro audio gear like mixers, effects processors, compressors, limiters and more into SDI based video systems. For analogue audio, Teranex Minis feature an extremely low noise floor of more than -115 dBFS so even analogue audio background noise is virtually silent.

Easily control and manage your convertersLike regular Mini Converters, Teranex Mini features built in mini switches and a printed diagram on the converter so you can quickly and easily change settings. When using the optional Teranex Smart Panel, settings can be changed using the push buttons and simple on-screen menus. If you’re in a larger facility using lots of converters, you can manage them over ethernet from a Mac or Windows computer using the included Converter Utility software.
