Welcome

Thank you for purchasing Teranex Mini Converters.

Teranex Minis are 12G-SDI converters that let you convert video and audio for

broadcast and production work in the field, on your desk, or mounted in a rack.

With an efficient, compact design, they are not much bigger than Mini Converters and

can be placed into any production environment, from single operator post production

studios, to large rack based SDI workflows. We’re excited to introduce Teranex Mini

SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR to complement Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR. Both of

these 8K Mini Converters feature dual on screen scopes and monitor calibration for

color accurate monitoring.

This instruction manual contains all the information you need to start using your

Teranex Mini Converters.

Teranex Mini Converters

Getting Started

Plugging in Power

Getting started is as simple as plugging in power and connecting your signal input and output.

To supply power, plug in a standard IEC power cable to your Teranex Mini converter’s power

input on the rear panel. You can also power your Teranex Mini via Ethernet by plugging into a

compatible Ethernet switch that supports PoE+, or ‘power over Ethernet plus’.

SDI to HDMI 12G

Teranex Mini Converters support 12G-SDI data rates so will automatically

switch between SD, HD and Ultra HD all the way up to 2160p60.

Power can also be supplied via a PoE+ compatible Ethernet switch.

Plugging in Video

Plug your source video into your Teranex Mini converter’s video input and plug the video output

into your destination equipment. Video input and output varies by converter. Depending on

your Teranex Mini model, you may have the option of SDI, HDMI, component, composite or

S-video input or output.

Plugging in Audio

If you’re using embedded audio in SDI or HDMI, audio is already transported via the video

input. If using external digital or analog audio, plug into the XLR connectors. The ‘R’ channel

XLR connector can be used for timecode. Some Teranex Mini devices support RCA analog

audio or optical audio. Refer to the individual converters detailed in this manual for

moreinformation.

5Getting Started

Installing Administration Software

Installing Blackmagic Teranex Setup

The Teranex setup software is used to update your Teranex Mini and to change video, audio

and network settings.

Blackmagic Teranex Setup can be installed

on Mac and Windows computers.

Installation on Mac

1 Download the Blackmagic Teranex Setup software from www.blackmagicdesign.com

2 Unzip the downloaded file and open the resulting disk image to reveal its contents.

3 Double click the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.

The Teranex setup utility is now installed.

Installation on Windows

1 Download Blackmagic Teranex Setup from www.blackmagicdesign.com

2 Unzip the downloaded file. You should see a Blackmagic Teranex Setup folder

containing this PDF manual and the Teranex setup utility installer.

3 Double click the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.

4 When the installation has finished, it will prompt you to restart your computer.

Click ‘restart’ to complete the installation.

Once the computer has restarted, Blackmagic Teranex Setup will be ready to use.

6Installing Administration Software

Updating the Internal Software

It is important to ensure that power is connected to the Teranex Mini before connecting a USB

cable between the computer and converter.

1 Power your converter.

2 Attach a USB cable from the computer to the converter or connect via Ethernet launch

the Teranex setup utility.

If the converter is missing or not detected, Blackmagic Teranex Setup will report, “No converter

connected” in the title bar. Otherwise, it will report the model name of your Teranex Mini.

If Blackmagic Teranex Setup contains newer internal software than that currently installed in

your Teranex Mini, it will prompt you to update. Just follow the on screen instructions to

complete the update. Once the internal software update is complete, you will be able to make

adjustments to your Teranex Mini using the Teranex setup utility.

If you have previously set your Teranex Mini to use a static

IP address, you can find it on your network by entering the

IP Address from the Teranex setup utility home screen.

Installing Teranex Mini Smart Panel

You can also change settings using the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel. This control panel

mounts to the front of your Teranex Mini and replaces the original basic panel that shipped with

the converter. You get fast access to your settings using buttons and a rotary knob and you can

see the input on the built in LCD.

Installing your optional Smart Panel is easy and because the panels are hot swappable you

don’t even need to turn off your Teranex Mini converter when installing it.

1 Remove the two M3 screws on each side of your converter’s basic front panel

using a Pozidriv 2 screwdriver and gently pull the panel away from the front of your

Teranex Mini.

2 On the inside of the basic panel, you’ll notice a small clear plastic tube attached to the

bottom corner. This tube directs light from the LED inside the unit to illuminate the status

indicator on the basic panel. This tube should stay attached to the basic front panel.

TIP If reattaching the basic front panel, make sure the light tube is aligned with

the slot in the front of the unit.

7Installing Administration Software

3 Align the connector on the rear of the Smart Panel with the adjoining connector on

the face of your Teranex Mini converter and gently push the Smart Panel towards your

converter until the connectors are firmly seated. The Smart Panel should make a firm

connection and fit neatly inside the face of your Teranex Mini converter.

4 Re-insert the M3 screws from the original panel.

If your Teranex Mini is installed in a Teranex Mini Rack Shelf, you will need to remove the mini

converter from the rack shelf to access the front panel screws.

See the ‘Teranex Mini Rack Shelf’ section for more information.

The Teranex Mini’s USB port is still accessible with the Smart Panel attached. To access the

port, simply open the rubber USB dust cover. With the Smart Panel installed, the front panel

small switches are covered up and no longer used and this is because all the switch settings

and more are now in the menu on the Teranex Smart Panel and can be set using the LCD. The

settings available will vary between Teranex Mini’s because the features are different between

models, but navigation layout on screen is the same, so it’s easy to move between models to

make changes to settings.

Refer to the ‘changing settings’ section for information on changing settings using an optional

Teranex Mini Smart Panel. The original basic panel is very strong, so if you need to mount your

Teranex Mini in the back of a rack system or in areas where there are lots of cables or activity,

you can always reinstall the original basic panel.

Changing Settings

There are three ways to change settings on your Teranex Mini. You can use the switches on the

front panel, the Blackmagic Teranex Setup utility, or by mounting a Teranex Mini Smart Panel

which lets you change settings using control buttons, a rotary knob and LCD.

Changing Settings using Switches

On the original basic panel of your Teranex Mini you’ll see a rubber dust cover which protects a

set of small switches used for settings on your converter. The ‘on/off’ switches are used to

configure internal settings and you can easily change them using the tip of a pen.

You’ll find a switch settings diagram printed on the base of your converter. Ensure your switch

settings correspond to the legend by observing the switch numbers from 1 to 8, left to right.

When using the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel, the switch settings will be overridden by the

Smart Panel settings. Your Teranex Mini will retain its last settings whether applied via switch,

Smart Panel or Blackmagic Teranex Setup software. 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.

For a full description of the switches and their settings, refer to your converter model in this

manual. Even though switch settings are printed on the base of your converter, new features in

later updates can add new settings so it’s worth checking the latest version of this manual for

the most up to date information. You can download the latest version from the

Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

Teranex Mini Models

There is a broad range of Teranex Mini converters with specific features for each conversion

type and different settings between models.

In the following sections in this manual, you can find the latest information for your Teranex Mini

model including any new settings that may have been added in the latest version of your

Teranex Mini’s internal software.

Teranex Mini – SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR

Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR converts 8K SDI signals to DisplayPort for connecting

to DisplayPort monitors, televisions and projectors. It scales 8K SDI inputs to the native

resolution of DisplayPort monitors that don’t support 8K. Two on screen scopes can be overlaid

on the DisplayPort output so you monitor the waveform, vectorscope, histogram or parade.

The monitor calibration feature helps you generate 3D LUTs for accurate reference monitoring

on DisplayPort monitors. You can also load 3D LUTs for adding looks to your converted output.

14Teranex Mini – SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR

Connectors

1 USB-C Port

Connects to the Blackmagic Teranex Setup software via a Mac or Windows computer

for adjusting settings and updating your Teranex Mini’s internal software. Plug your

monitor calibration probe into the USB-C port.

2 Front Panel

The LCD display shows important information, and you can use the control buttons and

rotary knob to navigate settings menus.

3 Power

Standard built in IEC C14 connector for 90 – 240 volt AC power supply.

4 Ethernet

Connects to a network switch or computer so you can change settings using the

Teranex setup utility. A white ‘link’ LED is to the right of the Ethernet port.

5 SDI Loop Out

SDI video loop output BNC connectors.

6 SDI In

Use these BNC connectors to plug in your SDI source video. A white LED to the right of

each ‘SDI IN’ BNC connector indicates video input lock. 8K inputs can be quad square

division or quad 2SI 12G-SDI up to 8Kp60 or dual link 12G-SDI up to 8Kp30 on SDI In

A and B. HD and Ultra HD video up to 2160p60 can be input to SDI In A by single

link 12G-SDI.

7 DisplayPort Outputs

Teranex SDI to DisplayPort 8K outputs to one monitor and has three DisplayPort

connections for compatibly with 8K standards on a variety of monitors. DisplayPort 1

and DisplayPort 2 are full size DisplayPort connectors. The USB-C port is for

DisplayPort over USB-C. It is important to note that this requires a certified DisplayPort

over USB-C cable, which is different to a generic USB-C cable or a Thunderbolt cable.

When connecting your monitor to Teranex SDI to DisplayPort 8K, consult the

specifications for your monitor. Most 8K monitors can use a single DisplayPort

connection to DP1 or DisplayPort over USB-C. Some 8K monitors require a dual

DisplayPort connection to the DP1 and DP2 connectors to show 8K content. Dual link

high frame rate 8K content is shown in 8 bit color to be compatible with your

DisplayPort monitor. For 4K or HD video, you can use DP1 or DisplayPort over USB-C.

Blackmagic Teranex Setup Settings

The Teranex setup utility can change all the same settings that are available using the front

panel, plus additional settings. You can access these settings by moving between the ‘video’,

‘scopes’, audio’, ‘configure’ and ‘about’ tabs.

The ‘about’ and ‘configure’ tabs are detailed in the ‘changing settings’ section in this manual.

Blackmagic Teranex Setup lets you adjust settings such as DisplayPort instant

lock to instantly resync the video signal when changing or routing sources, load

3D LUT files, changing the RCA analog audio output levels and more.

Video Tab

DisplayPort Instant Lock

Select this checkbox to enable DisplayPort instant lock so changing sources using the same

format is clean and glitch free. When DisplayPort instant lock is enabled, the DisplayPort output

signal is kept active even when changing sources. This means your converter does not have to

wait for the DisplayPort television or monitor tolock before displaying the video output as the

DisplayPort signal is already locked. It’simportant to note that this feature only works when

changing sources using the same video standard.

The DisplayPort instant lock feature can introduce a small delay in video and audio, so if you

need zero delay in your converted output you can bypass the DisplayPort instant lock feature

by deselecting the checkbox.

Clip to Legal Levels

‘Clip to legal levels’ describes the converter’s input range because DisplayPort monitors always

display full range video. When ‘normal’ is selected, Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K expands

the input to match the monitor. If you select ‘show illegal’ the input range is sent to your monitor

unexpanded.

Dynamic Range Override

This setting lets you select a color profile for your monitor, such as Rec. 709, or choose ‘auto’ to

keep the original dynamic range of the source.

16Teranex Mini – SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR

33 Point 3D LUT

Your Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR supports .cube 3D LUT files that can be created

in any color correction software such as DaVinci Resolve. DaVinci Resolve can save color

grades as 3D LUTs.

You can load two separate 3D LUTs by clicking on the ‘load’ button for each 3D LUT slot,

selecting the desired .cube file from your computer, and clicking ‘Open’. Click ‘save’ to confirm

your settings. The 3D LUT filename will appear above each ‘load’ button so you know which

3D LUT is being used for 3D LUT 1 or 3D LUT 2.

To turn a 3D LUT on, simply click the ‘use 3D LUT 1’ or ‘use 3D LUT 2’ options. To turn the

3D LUT off, click the ‘bypass 3D LUT’ option.

TIP You can also enable a 3D LUT by pressing the 1 or 2 buttons on the unit’s

front panel. Press the buttons again to turn a 3D LUT off.

Bypass 3D LUT

Click on this button disable all 3D LUTs so the DisplayPort output does not have a 3D

LUT applied.

Clear

Click on this button to remove 3D LUT 1 or 3D LUT 2 from your converter’s internal memory.

Load

Click on the ‘load’ button to load a 3D LUT from your computer.

Save As

Click on the ‘save as’ button to save a loaded 3D LUT to a folder on your computer. After you

generate a calibration 3D LUT, it is important to save it your computer.

What is a 3D LUT?

A 3D LUT, or ‘3D Lookup Table’, is a file containing table of values that are used to modify

the video colorspace to a new set of RGB values in a 3D cube space.

The color cube contains all the variations between the mix of each primary color, defined

within three x, y, z spatial dimensions. This means the RGB channels in the SDI input

video can be remapped to any other RGB output color in the DisplayPort video output.

This is very powerful as it means any color can be mapped to any other color so you can

perform very precise color adjustments for calibrating displays, or loading log gamma

curves for display when working with different types of raw camera files on set where you

want to see linear gamma.

To show how powerful 3D LUTs can be, one of the default LUTs loaded can convert your

input video to black and white. This shows that all the input RGB colors are remapped via

the 3D LUT to black and white RGB output values via the DisplayPort output.

You can create your own 3D LUTs and upload them via the admin software and DaVinci

Resolve even allows you to convert a color grade setting to a 3D LUT that you can then

upload to your Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K. The 3D LUT on the DisplayPort output

is optional, and the SDI video loop output is a clean feed.

For more information on how to create a 3D LUT .cube file, refer to the DaVinci Resolve

manual which you can download from the Blackmagic Design website at

www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.

Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K can show up to two scopes as overlays on the footage on

the DisplayPort output. In the ‘scopes’ menu, select the ‘large’ option to make a scope occupy

1/16 of the screen area, or select the ‘small’ option to set the scope size to 1/64 of the screen.

You can use Teranex Setup software to configure the scopes, or use the ‘scopes’ menu and

rotary knob on the front panel. Options include scope types, size, horizontal and vertical

position, background opacity and scope brightness. When you select the types of scopes, you

can choose waveform, vectorscope 100%, vectorscope 75%, histogram, RGB parade or YUV

parade. Note that the vectorscope is available only on scope 1.

Audio Tab

Set RCA Output

The ‘audio output’ settings let you adjust the gain for the left and right channel of analog audio

together or independently. In the ‘stereo de-embed’ menu, select a pair of audio channels, such

as channels 1 & 2, to output from the RCA ports.

Your Teranex Mini retains its last settings applied using the control panel or Teranex

setup utility.

Disable the channel link icon if you want to decrease or increase

the level of each channel independently.

Configure Audio Meter

The ‘audio meters’ option lets you select the type of audio meter to display. Choose from

VU -18dBFS, VU -20dBFS, PPM -18dBFS or PPM -20dBFS reference levels.

Monitor Calibration Procedure

If you have a supported monitor and monitor calibration probe, you can use your Teranex Mini

SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR to generate a calibration 3D LUT for your DisplayPort monitor.

Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K supports Klein Instruments K10-A, SpectraCal C6 and X-Rite

i1Display Pro. This process can allow you to display accurate color and luminance even on

consumer DisplayPort televisions.

A calibration probe is a small device that contains a light sensor. When facing the screen of your

monitor or television, the probe scans color and luminance data so your Teranex Mini can

optimize the DisplayPort output for your monitor.

Display settings on your television, monitor, or computer’s display settings will need to be

adjusted in steps as you progress through the calibration process. It’s very simple and doesn’t

take long. If at any time a mistake is made, you can easily select ‘back’ and repeat a step.

1 Optimizing Monitor Settings

Before starting the calibration procedure, you will need to open your monitor or

television’s display settings and change a few settings.

1.1 In the settings for your monitor, switch off all options for dynamic contrast and

brightness. Many TV manufacturers include a mode called motion smoothing,

motionflow or motion interpolation. Please disable this mode.

1.2 Set the gamma to 2.4 for Rec. 709 or 2.6 for DCI-P3. These two color spaces are

designed for standard home television viewing and digital cinema distribution, so your

choice will depend on your project’s delivery requirements. For example, if you are

delivering to YouTube for home television viewing, set the gamma to 2.4. If monitoring

for cinema distribution via DCP delivery, set the gamma to 2.6.

2 Connecting the Calibration Probe

Now that your monitor or television has its settings optimized for calibration, connect

the calibration probe to your Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR’s USB-C port.

Liftthe rubber dust cover to access the USB-C port.

3 Starting the Calibration Process

3.1 On the ‘home’ screen, press the ‘menu’ button. Use the rotary knob to scroll to the

‘calibration’ menu and press ‘set’.

3.2 Press ‘set’ to see the list of supported calibration probes. Options are ‘i1 Display Pro’,

‘SpectraCal C6’ and ‘Klein K-10-A’. Use the rotary knob to scroll through the list and

highlight your probe, then press ‘set’ to confirm your selection.

3.3 On the ‘calibration’ menu, use the rotary knob to highlight ‘color space’ and press ‘set’.

Select a color space based on your monitor type and press ‘set’.

3.4 On the ‘calibration’ menu, scroll down to the ‘target gamma’ option and press ‘set’.

Specify the ‘target gamma’ value to match your monitor or TV and press ‘set’.

Gamma 2.4 is recommended for Rec. 709 and 2.6 is recommended for DCI-P3.

3.5 On the ‘calibration’ menu, scroll to ‘begin color calibration’ and press ‘set’.

3.6 This step adjusts your monitor’s brightness to show shadow detail without crushing

theblacks. If your system doesn’t have an option to adjust the brightness, select ‘next’

andpress ‘set’ to skip this step. Increase the brightness level so all the dark squares

become visible. Decrease the brightness level so the indicated square just blends into

the background. Press ‘next’ on your Teranex Mini SDI to DisplayPort 8K HDR.
