Blackmagic Teranex Mini SDI To DisplayPort 8K HDR

Advanced 8K monitoring solutionDiscover the Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR, an advanced solution for 8K video monitoring that brings professional-grade colour accuracy and flexible connectivity to broadcasters, film studios, and post-production environments. Featuring support for all SDI formats up to 4320p60, dual DisplayPort outputs, HDR workflows, and industry-leading 33-point 3D LUTs, it’s the ideal choice for converting SDI signals to DisplayPort and ensuring precise calibration with third-party probes like SpectraCal or X-Rite. Designed with a sleek colour LCD for real-time monitoring and easy operation, the Teranex Mini seamlessly fits into demanding workflows, providing reliable down conversion and instant compatibility with Apple Pro Display XDR and other cutting-edge displays.

large colour accurate SDI monitoringTeranex Mini 8K HDR has been designed for any broadcast, live production or feature film work where you need large colour accurate SDI monitoring. Perfect for accurate grading monitoring for DaVinci Resolve, you can unload CPU and GPU processing, as both models draw the 3D LUTs and scopes for you. That's important when using heavy 8K formats. When you use an Apple Pro Display XDR with Teranex SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR, you can even select from the monitor’s built in colour profiles so that you can accurately match the colour space and gamma to the SDI input for precise colour grading. Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR is also great when using large televisions for multi view on switchers such as ATEM Constellation 8K so each view is large enough to check focus. You can even use quad split to build large video walls from multiple monitors. Imagine building giant 8K video walls at concerts and theatres!

rack mount the converter if neededThe innovative design is much better than regular converters as you can rack mount the converter if needed. The front panel feels elegant when placed on a desktop plus it includes buttons and a colour display for video monitoring with audio meters and video standard. The rear panel has Quad Link 12G‑SDI for HD, Ultra HD as well as up to 8K formats. The Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR has 4 HDMI outputs allowing use with 8K televisions that feature quad HDMI inputs. The Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR has a USB-C style connection for monitors such as the Apple Pro Display XDR, and 2 full size DisplayPort connections for regular computer monitors. The built-in scaler will ensure the video input standard is scaled to the native resolution of the connected DisplayPort monitor. Or, use the built-in pixel-by-pixel mode to view unscaled HD or 4K content. Plus, both models feature down conversion for using 8K sources on Ultra HD or HD televisions and monitors! You can even convert between 2SI and Square Division all automatically. There’s also AC power, analogue audio HiFi out and a front panel USB connection for use with monitor calibration probes.

the latest HDR workflowsTeranex Mini 8K HDR has everything for the latest HDR workflows. All that’s required is to connect an HDMI display or DisplayPort monitor to get HDR SDI monitoring. Static metadata PQ and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) formats in the VPID are handled according to the ST2108‑1, ST2084 and the ST425 standards. Teranex Mini 8K HDR models handle ST425 which defines 2 new bits in the VPID to indicate transfer characteristic of SDR, HLG or PQ. Plus the ST2108‑1 standard defines how to transport HDR static or dynamic metadata over SDI. There is also support for ST2082‑10 for 12G SDI, as well as ST425 for 3G‑SDI sources. Both Rec.2020 and Rec.709 colour space are supported, and 100% of the DCI‑P3 format.

Two fully independent on-screen scopesTwo fully independent on-screen scopes are included so compliance with broadcast standards is easy when doing critical high end work. Scopes are overlaid on screen so you can customize position, size and opacity. You can select from a range of scopes, including waveform for displaying luminance levels of your input signal. The vectorscope display allows you to see the intensity of colour at 100% SDI reference levels. You also get RGB and YUV parade displays which are ideal for colour correction and checking for illegal levels. Histogram shows the distribution of white to black detail in your images and highlights or shadows clipping.

Two fully independent on-screen scopesEven though Teranex Mini 8K HDR features Quad Link 12G‑SDI when working in full resolution 8K, it can also switch to HD, Ultra HD, 2K DCI and 4K DCI formats when required. This means you can use it for a lot more than 8K! When a HDMI monitor, television or video projector is connected, Teranex Mini 8K HDR will communicate with the display via EDID and if the monitor cannot handle the resolution, then it will be automatically down converted for display. This means you can use a HD or Ultra HD display for 8K or you can use a HD display for Ultra HD! This ensures you always get images on your display no matter the SDI standard.

LCD DisplayThe front panel LCD provides confidence monitoring with both images and accurate audio level meters. There are menus for all functions and it’s easy to scroll through menus "pages" to find settings that need changing. The 3D LUTs can be enabled just by pressing the buttons labelled 1 or 2. Calibration is also started via the menus and you simply follow the prompts to calibrate your display. The audio meters can even be switched between VU or PPM ballistics. HDMI instant lock can be enabled to ensure the HDMI display locks instantly if the input video is interrupted. There are settings for configuring scopes and their on-screen location or opacity. You can even view and edit network settings.

8K displays8K is fantastic for digital signage as with a single clip you can drive a single 8K display, 4 separate Ultra HD displays or, via an extra converter, you can even drive 16 HD displays for an extremely exciting video wall display. DaVinci Resolve combined with DeckLink 8K Pro is extremely common in Hollywood film studios. Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR is the perfect solution to run large projectors and local colour accurate displays, while Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR has been specifically designed to take advantage of the latest monitors such as the Apple Pro Display XDR. Teranex Mini 8K HDR is compatible with a wide range of televisions and monitors. However, for the best colour accuracy, monitors are the best option as they have stable image processing and won't shift colour much after you have performed calibration.
