The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Smart Panel is a compact, dedicated hardware control panel designed to provide intuitive, tactile control for the Teranex Mini series of signal processors. It allows broadcast engineers and AV technicians to quickly access and adjust the most critical functions of connected Teranex Mini units—such as format conversion, scaling, frame rate conversion, and noise reduction—without needing to navigate software menus on a computer. The panel features a high-resolution color LCD screen that displays the status and settings of the connected Teranex processor, alongside dedicated buttons and knobs for direct parameter adjustment.

The control interface is logically organized, offering immediate access to key settings like input/output format selection, scaling mode, aspect ratio control, and audio embedding/de-embedding. It simplifies complex tasks such as setting up cross-conversion between different video standards (e.g., SD to HD, HD to 4K) or applying advanced processing like motion-adaptive noise reduction. The panel connects to a Teranex Mini processor via USB, and a single Smart Panel can control multiple daisy-chained Teranex units, making it an efficient control hub for racks containing several processors.

Housed in a sturdy, desktop-friendly metal enclosure, the Teranex Mini Smart Panel is built for reliability in professional broadcast and post-production environments. Its standalone operation frees up computer resources and streamlines the workflow for live operations or quality control monitoring. By putting essential conversion and processing controls at an operator's fingertips, this smart panel enhances productivity and ensures precise control over video signal quality in critical transmission and production chains.
