Blackmagic Design BMD-BMT2DP Teranex 2D Processor

$0.00

The Blackmagic-Design Teranex 2D Processor is an advanced-quality standards converter as well as video format converter and capture and playback device all-in-one. As a standards converter, it can convert from most any television format to any other television format in the highest quality. Conversions are indistinguishable from the original master. And as for capture/playback functionality, the Teranex can simultaneously convert formats and -- via Thunderbolt -- capture files into a computer for editing.

What makes Teranex so good is an advanced SIMD technology--developed and patented by Teranex--that allows instant calculations on thousands of pixels simultaneously in X, Y positions and between video frames. Processing is applied within the frame and between frames all at the same time, delivering better de-interlacing, inter-frame interpolation and noise reduction.

Overall, the processor features extremely high-quality de-interlacing, up and down conversion, SD and HD cross conversion, SD and HD standards conversion, automatic cadence detection and removal (even with edited content), noise reduction, adjustable scaling, aspect ratio conversion, and timecode conversion; and accompanying all the video conversion functionality is 16 channel audio conversion capacity.

Standards conversions can actually also be employed for reasons other than the general need to convert. Conversions can be performed simply to protect equipment such as decks, switchers, transmitters and encoders from standards they don't support. And as far as non-general uses go, the Teranex can additionally be used to synchronize and convert video feeds.

A bunch of software comes included. Two of them are Media Express and UltraScope. UltraScope lets you measure your video signal levels with a Thunderbolt-connected computer, displaying 6 simultaneous live scopes on a single screen. The addition of these two applications to your NLE give you a complete editing toolset to complement an all-in-one conversion/capture device.

About the Blackmagic Design BMD-BMT2DP Teranex 2D Processor

The Blackmagic Design Teranex 2D Processor is a versatile and powerful standalone video processor designed to solve a wide array of signal conversion and quality enhancement challenges in professional broadcast and post-production environments. Its core functionality revolves around high-quality format conversion, allowing users to seamlessly change video standards, resolutions, and frame rates in real-time with minimal latency. The processor excels at complex tasks such as converting between interlaced and progressive scan formats, upscaling standard definition content to high definition, and performing frame rate conversion for international standards compliance. This makes it an essential tool for broadcasters who need to integrate diverse source materials into a unified broadcast chain or for live events combining feeds from various global sources.

Beyond basic conversion, the Teranex 2D Processor incorporates a sophisticated suite of image enhancement tools. It features advanced motion-adaptive deinterlacing to eliminate artifacts and produce clean, sharp progressive frames from interlaced sources. The unit also includes robust noise reduction algorithms that can clean up grainy footage without sacrificing fine detail, along with image stabilization to correct for unwanted camera movement. These processing capabilities ensure that even sub-optimal source material can be brought up to a broadcast-quality standard. The processor handles embedded audio throughout all transformations, maintaining perfect synchronization between video and audio streams.

Housed in a compact 1RU rack-mountable chassis, the unit is designed for both permanent installation and mobile use. It offers flexible connectivity with a variety of input and output cards available, supporting interfaces such as SDI, HDMI, and analog component video. Control is managed through a front-panel touchscreen or via Ethernet using a web browser interface, allowing for remote configuration and monitoring. By consolidating multiple critical processing functions—format conversion, deinterlacing, noise reduction, and stabilization—into a single, reliable device, the Teranex 2D Processor provides a comprehensive solution for ensuring signal compatibility and maximizing video quality throughout the production and distribution pipeline.
