Blackmagic Teranex Mini HDMI to SDI 12G

This compact signal‑conversion unit is engineered to bridge the gap between HDMI‑based devices and high‑bandwidth SDI workflows, delivering reliable 12G transport for demanding professional environments. Designed for studios, live production spaces and post‑production facilities, it enables clean, latency‑free transmission from computers, consumer cameras or other HDMI sources directly into SDI‑based routing systems without compromising signal quality. It is particularly valuable wherever HDMI devices must integrate into long‑distance SDI cabling infrastructure while maintaining full Ultra HD fidelity.

The internal processing is built to handle all major video formats, automatically adapting to SD, HD, 6G and 12G SDI rates. This flexibility ensures that the unit can be deployed across a wide range of production conditions while maintaining stable output regardless of the incoming HDMI resolution. Its integrated up‑converter allows HD sources to be mapped to full Ultra HD, ensuring compatibility with modern monitoring and broadcast standards even when the original device cannot output higher resolutions. This feature simplifies multi‑source environments by allowing consistent Ultra HD SDI output without extra hardware.

Audio handling has been designed with professional workflows in mind. The device supports embedding audio from balanced analog or AES/EBU sources, alongside the ability to receive timecode input for synchronization‑critical setups. This makes it a robust solution for productions relying on precise audio‑video alignment or requiring integration of external audio hardware. Whether feeding a switcher, recorder or SDI router, operators can trust the converter to transport both video and audio together with broadcast‑ready stability.

Physical integration is equally considered. As part of the wider converter family, it includes an internal international AC power supply and can be rack‑mounted alongside other units for clean equipment‑bay organization. Remote management is supported through ethernet, enabling configuration from a central control system and allowing facilities teams to monitor and adjust settings without local access. This enhances reliability in complex installations where redundancy and remote administration are essential.

Compact, versatile and engineered for long‑term professional use, this converter ensures that HDMI sources seamlessly enter 12G‑SDI broadcast environments with consistent quality, flexible audio support and dependable Ultra HD transport. Its combination of precision conversion and operational convenience makes it a valuable addition to any modern signal‑routing infrastructure.
