About the Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/CA/SDIAU Teranex Mini - SDI to Audio 12G

The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to Audio 12G is a professional audio de-embedder designed to extract high-fidelity, multi-channel audio from SDI video signals and convert it to discrete analog audio outputs. This device addresses a critical need in broadcast facilities, live production trucks, post-production suites, and any professional video environment where audio embedded within an SDI stream must be separated for independent monitoring, mixing, recording, or distribution. By accepting a 12G-SDI input, the converter is capable of processing the embedded audio from the latest high-bandwidth video formats, including 4Kp60 signals, ensuring compatibility with modern production workflows and future-proofing the audio extraction process as video resolutions continue to increase.

This unit excels in its precision and flexibility, supporting the de-embedding of up to 16 channels of digital audio from a single SDI link. These channels are then output as balanced analog audio via standard XLR connectors, providing robust, noise-resistant signals suitable for connection to mixing consoles, amplifiers, or recording equipment. The device incorporates advanced processing to maintain perfect audio integrity, and it includes configurable audio delay to compensate for any latency introduced by downstream video processing, which is essential for preserving lip-sync accuracy. Control is facilitated through an intuitive front-panel LCD and buttons, or remotely via an Ethernet connection using the Teranex Mini Software Utility, allowing for easy setup and monitoring from a computer.

Housed in a compact, rugged metal enclosure with silent, fanless operation, the Teranex Mini SDI to Audio 12G is built for both permanent installation and mobile use. It offers versatile powering options via an AC adapter or USB-C bus power. By providing a dedicated, high-quality bridge between embedded SDI audio and the analog audio domain, this converter is an indispensable tool for audio engineers and video technicians who require reliable, flexible, and broadcast-standard audio de-embedding from their video feeds.

FAQs about Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/CA/SDIAU Teranex Mini - SDI to Audio 12G

What is the Blackmagic Teranex Mini SDI to Audio 12G?

It is a broadcast-grade audio de-embedder that extracts audio from any SD, HD, or Ultra HD SDI video feed and converts it to balanced analog or digital AES/EBU audio. Built on advanced 12G-SDI technology, it handles video signals up to 2160p60 over a single BNC connection.

What audio output formats and connectors are featured?

The unit features two full-size, balanced 3-pin XLR audio output connectors switchable between analog audio and digital AES/EBU audio, plus an optical S/PDIF output. It can de-embed two channels of balanced analog audio or up to four channels of digital AES/EBU audio simultaneously.

What video resolutions and frame rates does it support?

It supports multi-rate 12G-SDI across SD (NTSC/PAL), HD (720p, 1080i, 1080p up to 60 fps), Ultra HD (up to 2160p60), and DCI 4K (up to 4096x2160p60). The converter automatically senses the incoming video format and switches internal clocking and processing instantly.

How is the Teranex Mini powered?

It features a built-in 90–240 Vac universal power supply that connects using a standard IEC power cord, eliminating external power bricks. It also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+ 802.3at) via its Gigabit Ethernet port, allowing both power and network remote control over a single network cable.

Does it provide an SDI loop-through or passthrough output?

Yes, it includes an active, reclocked 12G-SDI loop output that passes the incoming video stream downstream to switchers, monitors, or tape decks. Reclocking removes digital jitter to ensure signal integrity across long coaxial cable runs.

Can it be monitored and operated from a front panel?

While it ships with a standard basic front panel, you can replace it with the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel. The Smart Panel adds a color LCD screen for video monitoring, audio VU meters, and a rotary knob with push buttons for menu-based configuration.

How do you configure settings on the converter?

Settings can be adjusted using the built-in mini DIP switches located on the front panel beneath the removable faceplate. You can also manage audio channel selection, network addresses, and firmware updates remotely over Ethernet or USB using the Blackmagic Teranex Setup software.

Can the Teranex Mini be rack-mounted?

Yes, it features the modular Teranex Mini form factor, which allows up to three Teranex Mini converters to be mounted side-by-side in a single 1RU space using the optional Teranex Mini Rack Shelf. It is also compact enough to be placed behind monitors, under desks, or in cable trays.
