Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K Converter and Monitoring Solution

The quad-link 12G-SDI inputs have outputs for looping to other equipment. In addition, all HD, Ultra HD, and 8K standards are supported, allowing broadcast or film industry use. With 2SI to square division conversion built-in, an 8K source will be automatically converted for the monitor. Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI even handles both Level A or B 3G-SDI plus YUV and RGB SDI formats.

The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR can use third-party calibration probes (not included) such as the SpectraCal C6, X-Rite i1 Display Pro, or the Klein K10-A probe to accurately align connected displays for precise color. Just connect the probe to the unit via the USB Type-C connector on the front panel, and start the calibration process in the menu.

The 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 the menu pages to find settings that need changing. The 3D LUTs can be enabled just by pressing the 1 or 2 buttons. 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, their on-screen location, or opacity. You can even view and edit network settings.

Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR includes the same high-quality, 33-point 3D LUTs as used in the film industry. 3D LUTs are perfect for recreating the look of old-style film stocks, or they can be used to compensate for the colorimetry of the connected display. You can calibrate the connected display by connecting a third-party USB color probe, and Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 8K HDR will analyze the monitor and generate a 3D LUT to correct for color differences between displays. Two independent 3D LUTs can be loaded and you can select between them from the front panel. Plus, 3D LUTs use standard file formats so you can load LUTs generated by software such as DaVinci Resolve.
