The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Smart Panel is a centralized, touchscreen-based control interface designed to manage a network of connected Teranex Mini audio and video converters. It provides a unified, software-defined dashboard that replaces the individual physical buttons and dials on each converter, offering a much more intuitive and powerful way to configure complex signal processing chains. The panel features a high-resolution color touchscreen that displays the status and controls for all connected devices, allowing an operator to adjust settings like frame rate conversion, scaling, color space correction, audio embedding/de-embedding, and HDR metadata handling from a single location. This centralized control is invaluable in facilities such as broadcast master control, live production trucks, and post-production houses where multiple conversion points need to be managed simultaneously and precisely.

The Smart Panel connects to the Teranex Mini converters via a standard Ethernet network, automatically discovering all compatible devices. This network-based approach allows the panel and converters to be placed in different locations within a facility—for example, the converters can be rack-mounted near equipment interfaces while the control panel is situated at an operator's desk. The interface enables the creation, saving, and instant recall of configuration presets for individual converters or entire groups, facilitating quick changes between different show setups or transmission standards. Advanced monitoring features provide visual feedback on signal status, format, and any errors, ensuring system integrity.

Housed in a compact, all-metal enclosure, the Teranex Mini Smart Panel is built for professional, daily use. Its responsive touch interface and logical menu structure streamline operations that would otherwise require manually interacting with each small converter unit. By bringing software-defined, network-based control to the versatile Teranex Mini ecosystem, this panel transforms a collection of standalone converters into a cohesive, manageable, and smart signal processing infrastructure, greatly enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the potential for configuration errors in live environments.
