The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI 12G is a compact, high-quality format converter that is part of the professional Teranex line. It is designed to provide flawless conversion between professional SDI video signals and consumer/prosumer HDMI displays, but with the advanced processing and robust feature set that distinguishes Teranex products. Its key capability is supporting 12G-SDI input, allowing it to accept a single cable carrying ultra-high-definition signals up to 4Kp60 (4:2:2) or 4Kp30 (4:4:4). This makes it a future-proof solution for connecting the latest 4K broadcast cameras, switchers, and servers to 4K HDMI monitors, projectors, or capture cards.

Beyond simple signal conversion, this device includes Teranex's renowned advanced processing. This includes high-quality scaling, so it can intelligently convert between different resolutions (e.g., taking a 1080i input and outputting a pristine 1080p signal). It also features advanced frame synchronization (frame lock), which is critical in broadcast environments to eliminate glitches and rolls when switching between unsynchronized sources. The converter handles audio embedding/de-embedding, converting embedded SDI audio to HDMI LPCM audio. It can be configured via its front-panel buttons and LCD screen or remotely via Ethernet using the included Teranex Mini Software Utility.

Housed in a small, all-metal enclosure, the Teranex Mini SDI to HDMI is built for both permanent installation and mobile use. It can be powered via the included AC adapter or directly through its USB-C port from a computer or battery pack, adding to its flexibility. With its combination of 12G-SDI support, advanced processing, and professional control options, this converter is a reliable and intelligent solution for demanding applications in broadcast trucks, post-production suites, live event production, and any workflow requiring guaranteed, high-quality signal conversion.
