Introducing Teranex
The Teranex Processor is a high end video standards converter capable of extremely high quality image
processing for standards conversion and format conversion, as well as 16 channels of frame accurate audio
conversions. You can move from virtually any format to any other format in real time with literally hundreds
of combinations, perfect for live production.
The Teranex Processor does not need a connection to a computer and you can just switch it on and push
the buttons on the built-in control panel. The integrated LCD lets you view the incoming video signal and
preview the conversion without even needing an external monitor.
When connected to a Mac OS X computer with Thunderbolt technology, the Teranex Processor can also be
used for cleaning and converting content for authoring as well as video capture and playback for editing,
design and effects. Alternatively you can use the Thunderbolt connection for waveform monitoring with the
included Blackmagic UltraScope software!
If you want to update the internal software of the Teranex Processor with new features, bug fixes, and
increased compatibility with third party software and video devices, you'll need a Mac OS X or Windows
computer with a USB connection to run the included Teranex Utility software. Please check the
support page on our web site at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest version of software for your
Teranex Processor.

Understanding the Teranex Processor
The Teranex Processor features patented processing technology for the highest quality conversion
between video standards, frame rates and resolutions. The incredible power of Teranex processing
includes: up conversion, down conversion, SD/HD cross conversion, SD/HD standards conversion,
cadence detection and removal, noise reduction, adjustable scaling, aspect ratio conversion including
Smart aspect, timecode conversion, 16 channel audio processing, and more.
Proprietary PixelMotion de-interlacing, 3:2 detection and detail enhancement, combined with a powerful
array processing module, provide the highest image quality up, down and cross conversions. The first step
in the conversion process is to identify whether the input material is video or film originated so as to apply
the appropriate filter to recover the full vertical resolution of the input material. The identification process
is fully automatic and selects either PixelMotion de-interlacing for video based material or 3:2 detection for
film based material.
PixelMotion De-interlacing
PixelMotion de-interlacing of video originated material produces perfect progressive frames in preparation
for further processing. The processing aperture is adjusted on a pixel-by-pixel basis, which preserves all
of the detail of the original interlaced image and eliminates jaggies in the output image, providing well-
defined edges on objects and producing the sharpest images possible.
3:2 Detection
3:2 cadence detection recognizes the redundant fields inserted during the conversion from 24 frames
per second to 30. This advanced 3:2 pull down filter avoids frame rate conversion artifacts and provides
the highest vertical resolution and motion quality.
Since the quality of the video de-interlacing is so high, there will be no difference visible in the vertical
resolution seen with film originated material and that of the de-interlaced video originated material.
Cadence Detection, Removal and Correction
Teranex is unique because it can automatically remove cadence (3:2 pulldown) from video when converting
to 24 fps, even when the footage has been previously edited and suffers from flash fields. That’s perfect for
mastering clean online content! You can even take edited 3:2 sequences, remove the broken cadence and
re-insert clean cadence all in one pass.
Improper cadence detection can cause a loss of resolution,
resulting in moiré patterns. Advanced cadence detection
eliminates these annoying moiré artifacts.

Aspect Ratio Conversion
Teranex supports a wide range of aspect ratios, including variable and fixed aspect ratios. Also included
is the proprietary Smart aspect that warps images from 4:3 to 16:9 without visible stretching of the center
action area of the image that normally occurs.
Noise Reduction
Adjustable noise reduction controls offer a greater degree of temporal recursive noise reduction with fewer
artifacts. A bias control allows the aggressiveness to be fine-tuned. For filter performance testing, a Red
Overlay can be applied that will color pixels red that are in motion.
Frame rate Conversion
Moving images exist in three dimensions. Firstly, in the horizontal direction, images are made up of
individual pixels. Secondly, in the vertical direction, they are made up of the lines contained in the field
or frame. The combination is referred to as the spatial domain. Thirdly, the motion image is composed
of a number of fields or frames per second, which is referred to as the temporal domain.
The process of frame rate conversion, also known as standards conversion, is a form of sample rate
conversion in two or three of the above dimensions. It consists of expressing moving images sampled
on a three-dimensional sampling lattice to a different three-dimensional lattice.
Frame rate conversions generally involve changing the number of lines and fields (or frames) per second
in an image. Examples of standards conversions include: 486i59.94 to 576i50; 720p59.94 to 1080i50;
1080i59.94 to 1080i50.
Teranex uses a process called linear interpolation to convert between these various spaces. Interpolation is
defined as computing the value of a sample, or samples, which lie outside the sampling matrix of the source
signal. In other words, it is the process of computing the values of output samples that lie between the input
samples. Teranex processing allows for the processing aperture to be adjusted to provide the optimal result.

How to Set Up as a Standalone Converter
This section guides you through how to set up your Teranex 2D Processor hardware as a standalone
video format converter.
Connecting the Teranex 2D Processor as a standalone converter
Step 1. Connect power to one or both power sockets. The easiest way to power the Teranex 2D Processor
is to connect an IEC cable to its AC power socket. Alternatively the 12V DC military grade port
can be used for external battery power and/or failover redundancy with an optional “brick” DC
adapter.
Step 2. Connect cables between the video and audio connections on your Teranex 2D Processor and
your video equipment.
Step 3. If you are using analog or AES/EBU audio, rather than SDI or HDMI embedded audio, connect
common third party breakout cables to the DB-25 audio connectors for analog and AES/EBU
audio. Pinout diagrams for the DB-25 audio connectors can be seen in the "Connecting Video
and Audio Hardware" section of this manual.
Step 4. On the front panel press the IN button and set the video source to SDI, HDMI or Analog. If you
are using embedded SDI or HDMI audio, set the audio source to Embed. Otherwise select from
AES or Analog audio. The processor will detect the format of the video input and automatically
configure the unit. The integrated LCD will show the incoming video signal.
Step 5. Press the OUT button on the front panel and use the buttons to select your desired output format,
frame type, frame rate and also set the output aspect ratio if needed. Press “Accept” on the
integrated LCD to confirm the new selection. You will notice that all video and audio output
buttons will be lit, indicating that all output types are active simultaneously.

Connecting Video and Audio Hardware
Your Teranex Processor includes a wide variety of input and output connections, providing a flexible solution
for just about any system configuration you may have. Once you have connected and selected your input
video and audio source, the video and audio output signals will be present on all of the output connectors
simultaneously.
SD/HD/3G SDI Video and Audio
The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) input and output connections supports SD, HD and 3 Gb/s signals. To
use the SDI signal as your video input, press the IN button on the front panel and then select SDI as
your video source.
If your program audio is embedded in the SDI video input signal, you must select EMBED on the front
panel.
A reclocked, SDI Input Loop connector is provided which always shows the SDI input signal regardless of
whether the analog, HDMI or SDI input button has been selected on the front panel.
Analog Video
Both analog composite and component video sources are supported in the Teranex Processor, and
you may change which signal type you are using at any time. You will note that the BNC connectors
labeled Y/NTSC/PAL serve double duty as connections for the Y (luminance) component signal OR
NTSC/PAL composite video sources. You can define the desired analog video signal type, composite
or component, via the front panel LCD menu.
If the analog video output is configured as composite, HD video output formats will be down converted
to SD as a monitoring quality output. If the analog video output is configured as component, HD will be
provided, as there is no need for downconversion.

Analog Audio
Two methods of connecting analog audio are available:
a DB-25 multi-pin connector for connecting 4 channels of balanced analog audio In and Out
a pair of RCA phono connectors for stereo left and right input.
The DB-25 connector is used for connection of 4 input channels and 4 output channels of balanced
analog audio to the Teranex 2D Processor. An optional breakout cable is required, which is a standard
Yamaha format cable for balanced XLR connections. This inexpensive breakout cable may be purchased
through many vendors, or may be fabricated using off the shelf connectors and cable.
For input of HiFi Stereo audio, a pair of RCA phono connectors are provided to permit connection
of devices that have stereo unbalanced RCA audio outputs. These devices may include DVD players,
VTR’s, etc. that do not have professional, balanced analog outputs.
When you select the ANLG button on the front panel as the audio input type, a menu page will appear on
the front panel LCD allowing you to choose which of the two analog audio sources you want to use.

AES/EBU Audio
A DB-25 connector is provided for connecting up to 8 input channels (4 pairs) and 8 output channels (4 pairs)
of balanced AES/EBU digital audio to the Teranex 2D Processor. An optional breakout cable is required,
which is a standard Yamaha format cable for balanced XLR connections. This inexpensive breakout cable
may be purchased through many vendors, or may be fabricated using off the shelf connectors and cable.
HDMI Video and Audio
The Teranex Processor supports video and audio via HDMI inputs and outputs. Any audio associated
with the HDMI input is treated as an embedded source, so you should select EMBED as the audio Input
source to use it.
HDMI cable quality varies greatly so we recommend buying high quality cables from a high end video
reseller. High quality cables help eliminate unwanted sparkles or glitches in the HDMI video input.
If you don't see video on the HDMI video input, even though you have a device connected, then
you might want to check if the HDMI device you have connected uses HDCP. This content protection
prevents the HDMI video from being seen on anything other than a television, so you won't be able to
see images from these devices. Devices with HDCP include DVD players, and set top boxes.
In general, cameras and computers don't create content containing content protection, so you should
not have any problems connecting these devices.
Please always be sure you have copyright ownership before using or displaying content publicly.

How to Set Up for Waveform Monitoring
This section guides you through how to set up your Teranex 2D Processor hardware with your computer for
waveform monitoring of your video input signal.
Connecting the Teranex 2D Processor to your Computer
Step 1. Connect power to one or both power sockets. The easiest way to power the Teranex 2D Processor
is to connect an IEC cable to its AC power socket. Alternatively the 12V DC military grade port
can be used for external battery power and/or failover redundancy with an optional “brick” DC
adapter.
Step 2. Connect a Thunderbolt cable between the Teranex 2D Processor and a Thunderbolt port on your
computer, or to a Thunderbolt disk array which is attached to your computer.
Step 3. Connect cables between the video and audio connections on your Teranex 2D Processor and
your video source equipment.
Step 4. If you are using analog or AES/EBU audio, rather than SDI or HDMI embedded audio, connect
common third party breakout cables to the DB-25 audio connectors for analog and AES/EBU
audio. Pinout diagrams for the DB-25 audio connectors can be seen in the "Connecting Video
and Audio Hardware" section of this manual.
Step 5. On the front panel press the IN button and set the video source to SDI, HDMI or Analog. If you
are using embedded SDI or HDMI audio, set the audio source to Embed. Otherwise select from
AES or Analog audio. The processor will detect the format of the video input and automatically
configure the unit. The integrated LCD will show the incoming video signal.
Step 6. Press the OUT button on the front panel and use the buttons to select your desired output
format, frame type, frame rate and also set the output aspect ratio if needed. You can set the
output format to match the input format if you don't want any conversion. Press “Accept” on
the integrated LCD to confirm the new selection. You will notice that all video and audio output
buttons will be lit, indicating that all output types are active simultaneously.
Step 7. Launch the Blackmagic UltraScope software on your computer. The video scopes will appear after
a few seconds and will allow you to monitor the converted output of your Teranex 2D Processor.

Connecting Video and Audio Hardware
Your Teranex Processor includes a wide variety of input and output connections, providing a flexible solution
for just about any system configuration you may have. Once you have connected and selected your input
video and audio source, the video and audio output signals will be present on all of the output connectors
simultaneously.
SD/HD/3G SDI Video and Audio
The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) input and output connections supports SD, HD and 3 Gb/s signals. To
use the SDI signal as your video input, press the IN button on the front panel and then select SDI as
your video source.
If your program audio is embedded in the SDI video input signal, you must select EMBED on the front
panel.
A reclocked, SDI Input Loop connector is provided which always shows the SDI input signal regardless of
whether the analog, HDMI or SDI input button has been selected on the front panel.
Analog Video
Both analog composite and component video sources are supported in the Teranex Processor, and
you may change which signal type you are using at any time. You will note that the BNC connectors
labeled Y/NTSC/PAL serve double duty as connections for the Y (luminance) component signal OR
NTSC/PAL composite video sources. You can define the desired analog video signal type, composite
or component, via the front panel LCD menu.
If the analog video output is configured as composite, HD video output formats will be down converted
to SD as a monitoring quality output. If the analog video output is configured as component, HD will be
provided, as there is no need for downconversion.

Getting Started with Capture and Playback

Analog Audio
Two methods of connecting analog audio are available:
a DB-25 multi-pin connector for connecting 4 channels of balanced analog audio In and Out
a pair of RCA phono connectors for stereo left and right input.
The DB-25 connector is used for connection of 4 input channels and 4 output channels of balanced
analog audio to the Teranex 2D Processor. An optional breakout cable is required, which is a standard
Yamaha format cable for balanced XLR connections. This inexpensive breakout cable may be purchased
through many vendors, or may be fabricated using off the shelf connectors and cable.
For input of HiFi Stereo audio, a pair of RCA phono connectors are provided to permit connection
of devices that have stereo unbalanced RCA audio outputs. These devices may include DVD players,
VTR’s, etc. that do not have professional, balanced analog outputs.
When you select the ANLG button on the front panel as the audio input type, a menu page will appear on
the front panel LCD allowing you to choose which of the two analog audio sources you want to use.

AES/EBU Audio
A DB-25 connector is provided for connecting up to 8 input channels (4 pairs) and 8 output channels (4 pairs)
of balanced AES/EBU digital audio to the Teranex 2D Processor. An optional breakout cable is required,
which is a standard Yamaha format cable for balanced XLR connections. This inexpensive breakout cable
may be purchased through many vendors, or may be fabricated using off the shelf connectors and cable.
HDMI Video and Audio
The Teranex Processor supports video and audio via HDMI inputs and outputs. Any audio associated
with the HDMI input is treated as an embedded source, so you should select EMBED as the audio Input
source to use it.
HDMI cable quality varies greatly so we recommend buying high quality cables from a high end video
reseller. High quality cables help eliminate unwanted sparkles or glitches in the HDMI video input.
If you don't see video on the HDMI video input, even though you have a device connected, then
you might want to check if the HDMI device you have connected uses HDCP. This content protection
prevents the HDMI video from being seen on anything other than a television, so you won't be able to
see images from these devices. Devices with HDCP include DVD players, and set top boxes.
In general, cameras and computers don't create content containing content protection, so you should
not have any problems connecting these devices.
Please always be sure you have copyright ownership before using or displaying content publicly.
Thunderbolt
The Teranex Processor includes a super fast 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt port so you can connect it to your
computer for capture and playback of video and audio. Simply plugging in a Thunderbolt cable
transforms the Teranex Processor into a high end capture and playback solution with full software and
SDK support. Now you can perform high quality conversions and capture all in one pass! With the
Teranex Processor and included software, you get compatibility with editing software including Apple
Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro, plus support for Adobe After Effects,
Photoshop, Nuke™, ProTools, as well as the included Media Express and UltraScope software from
Blackmagic Design.
The Thunderbolt connection supports up to 16 channels of audio capture and playback.
