Getting Started
Plugging in Power
Getting started with your Teranex processor is as easy as plugging in power and connecting
your signal input and output.
To supply power, plug in a standard IEC power cable to your Teranex processor’s power input
on the rear panel.
Plugging in Video
Plug your source video input into your Teranex processor’s video input, and plug the video
output into your destination equipment. Note that all video outputs are simultaneously active so
you can connect to more equipment if needed. Confirm the signal by checking the LCD on the
control panel. The LCD can display the input or output video, pressing the ‘in’ or ‘out’ button will
set the display accordingly. The LCD also gives details about the video format and frame rate.
The Teranex Express and AV also display timecode and audio levels.
Plugging in Audio
If you are connecting SDI video, then you already have audio connected as it is embedded in
the SDI video signal. On Teranex processors with XLR connectors you can also plug in analog
or AES digital audio.
Teranex 3D has XLR connectors for analog or AES audio input
and output, plus LTC timecode in and out.
Conversions
Once you have powered your Teranex processor and connected your inputs and outputs, you
are ready to perform a conversion. To set a conversion, the first thing to do is set your input and
confirm the input signal.
Setting your input
1 Press the ‘in’ button on the left side of the control panel. The button will illuminate
when selected.
2 Using the ‘video’ buttons, select the SDI, HDMI, analog or optical video input.
3 When your input is selected, you will see the image displayed on the built in
LCDand your Teranex will automatically detect the input format and illuminate all
thecorresponding buttons, including format and frame rate.

4 Using the ‘audio’ buttons, select the embedded, AES, or analog audio input.
5 After setting your input, you can now change your output settings for your
desiredconversion.
Press the IN button to display the video input format. In this example,
the format is 1080i50 via SDI with embedded audio.
Setting your output
1 Press the ‘out’ button on the left side of the control panel.
2 Select the video ‘format’ you want to convert to.
3 Choose the ‘frame’ line mode you want. For example, progressive, interlaced or
progressive segmented frame.
4 Choose the desired frame ‘rate’.
5 Now set the ‘aspect’ ratio you want.
Your converted video will now appear on the LCD and is available on all relevant video outputs.
Setting the Latency for Teranex AV
Teranex AV has a processing mode which by default is set to ‘lowest latency.’ This mode is ideal
for use in live productions, with a typical latency or processing delay through the Teranex AV of
2 frames. To achieve this low latency, Teranex features not required in live productions are
bypassed without affecting the overall image quality of your program. For post production
applications we recommend that you use the ‘highest quality’ setting, which will enable you to
utilize scene cut detection, noise reduction and linear interpolation algorithms as needed. To
set the latency for Teranex AV:
1 Press the ‘home’ button, then press ‘system setup’ and then ‘processing’ to reach the
‘processing’ menu.
2 Select ‘lowest latency’ for live productions or ‘highest quality’ for post production
applications.
3 Your Teranex AV will restart to enable the chosen processing mode.
That’s all there is to getting started with your Teranex processor. With the setup utility installed
and your Teranex updated with the latest internal software, you can start setting your conversion
workflows. Please keep reading the instruction manual for more detailed information on all the
different conversion types, settings and powerful features of your Teranex processor.

Changing Settings
There are two different ways you can change settings on your Teranex processor. You can use
the front control panel, or the Blackmagic Teranex Setup software. This section will show you how
to use the control panel, or the setup software, to change settings on your Teranex processor.
Changing Settings using the Front Control Panel
Changing settings with the built in control panel is very easy! Once you know the basic
principles behind a conversion, all other conversions will become intuitive.
To set a conversion, the first thing to do is set your input and confirm the input signal.
Setting your Input
1 Press the ‘in’ button on the left side of the control panel. The button will illuminate
when selected.
Press the ‘in’ button to display the video input format. In this
example, the format is 1080i50 via SDI with embedded audio.
2 Using the ‘video’ buttons, select the SDI, HDMI, analog or optical video input.
Theinputs available will depend on your Teranex model. When your input is selected,
you will see the image displayed on the built in LCD and your Teranex will automatically
detect the input format and illuminate all the corresponding buttons, including format
and frame rate. The ‘frame’ button will also illuminate to show you whether your input
format is progressive, interlaced or progressive segmented frame.

3 Using the ‘audio’ buttons, select the embedded, AES, or analog audio input.
Ifselectinganalog, confirm your connection as either ‘XLR’, ’DB25’ or ‘RCA’ to let your
Teranex know you want analog audio from the XLR connectors, DB25 connector or
theRCAHiFi line input connectors.
Setting your Output
After setting your input, you can now change your output settings for your desired conversion.
1 Press the ‘out’ button on the left side of the control panel.
2 Select the video ‘format’ you want to convert to.
3 Choose the ‘frame’ line mode you want. For example, progressive,
interlaced or progressive segmented frame.
4 Choose the desired frame ‘rate’.
5 Now set the ‘aspect’ ratio you want.
Your converted video will now appear on the LCD and is available on all relevant video outputs.
You can improve the quality of your conversion by making adjustments to the ‘proc amp’ and
‘video’ settings, such as noise reduction, clean cadence, color correction, sharpness, and more.
Refer to the ‘Teranex processor settings’ and ‘conversion workflows’ sections for more
information about all of the settings on your Teranex and how they work together.
NOTE If selecting analog video on Teranex 2D or 3D, confirm component or
composite video on the LCD by turning the rotary knob. On Teranex AV,
pressing the SDI button more than once will alternate between the two rear
panel SDI inputs, SDI 1 and SDI 2. On the first button press, the LCD will
momentarily display which SDI input is currently selected. If you press
SDIagain within 5 seconds, the Teranex AV will switch to your other SDI
input signal.
When selecting between the 2 SDI sources on Teranex AV,
the LCD will momentarily display which input you have selected.
TIP Buttons with two options, for example the 29.97 and 30 frame rate,
alternate with each press of the button.
1414Changing Settings

Press the ‘out’ button and select a format to convert to. In this example, the conversion
is set to: 720p50, embedded SDI and HDMI audio, plus analog audio.
Control Panel Overview
This section contains a general overview of all the buttons and features on your Teranex
processor’s front control panel.
Everything you need to set up your conversions and monitor their status is right there in front
ofyou. Use the control panel LCD, soft menu buttons and rotary knob to navigate through the
menus and make your selections. For example, when setting timecode, the cursor is moved
forward or backward through the timecode register using the soft menu buttons. Timecode
digits are adjusted using the rotary knob. Pressing the rotary knob returns parameters to their
default value.
Program your conversion settings by pressing the buttons on the control panel. Buttons are
illuminated so you can quickly check the status of your audio and video connections and
output settings.
Explore the Teranex menus and experiment with conversion workflows. You’ll find examples
ofcommon workflows in the ‘Conversion Workflows’ section.
Some minor features will differ based on the model you are using, but the principles for how
they work are the same.

Presets
Use the six ‘preset’ buttons to save and recall your conversion settings. Presets may also be
saved, recalled and given descriptive names via the Blackmagic Teranex Setup utility.
Presets wil save all operating parameters of your Teranex for later recall. For example, you
could store customized proc amp or aspect ratio settings for instant recall at the moment they
are needed in your production. Or, you could save special timecode, closed caption or audio
channel mapping configurations for easy repetitive use day after day.
To SAVE a preset:
Hold the desired ‘preset’ button for three seconds. The button flashes to indicate
thepreset was saved and remains illuminated until a setting is adjusted.
To RECALL a preset:
Press the desired ‘preset’ button and select ‘recall’ using the soft menu button.
Oncerecalled, the ‘preset’ button will illuminate until settings are changed.
The Preset buttons are used to easily save and recall conversion settings.
Audio and System Status LEDs
While performing your conversions, keep an eye on the status LEDs. Illuminated LEDs display
signals and communications that are present. For example, indicators tell you which channels
contain audio, what power connections are being used, if an external reference signal is present
and more. The maximum number of channels supported for each audio type is as follows:
Audio Type Teranex 2D Teranex 3D Teranex AV Teranex Express

Changing Settings using BlackmagicTeranex Setup
The Blackmagic Teranex Setup utility offers an intuitive way to view the status of your
TeranexProcessor and provides remote control from any location on your Ethernet network.
Thisconvenient application lets you control your Teranex remotely, away from the front panel.
All your conversion settings can be set
remotely using Blackmagic Teranex Setup.
Getting to Know the Interface
When you launch Blackmagic Teranex Setup, you’ll first see the login pane. From here you
cansee all your connected Teranex Processors on your network, and you can add more
Teranex Processors if you need to. Open the setup utility by clicking on the ‘settings’ icon
below the name of your Teranex Processor.
Resizing the Interface
Click and drag the bottom right corner of the login pane to proportionally resize the interface
tobest fit your screen size. Alternatively, drag a window edge to resize either vertically or
horizontally.
Selecting a Teranex Processor
The Teranex Setup utility will automatically locate your Teranex processor on your Ethernet
network and will display it by model name in the log in pane. If more than one Teranex
Processor is found, each will be displayed in a separate window. Simply click the arrows in the
right and left screen margins to select the desired processor, then click the icon below the
processor’s name to establish a connection.
If your Teranex Processor did not automatically appear, you can add the unit manually using
itsIP address. The IP address of your Teranex Processor can be found via the unit’s front panel
in the ‘system setup menu’. If you need to establish a new IP address, either static or via DHCP,
this can also be done from the front panel. Please refer to the ‘system setup menu’ section of
this manual for details.
1919Changing Settings
