Connecting Video and Audio Hardware

Your Teranex Processor includes a wide variety of input and output connections, providing a flexible solution
for just about any system configuration you may have. Once you have connected and selected your input
video and audio source, the video and audio output signals will be present on all of the output connectors
simultaneously.
SD/HD/3G SDI Video and Audio
The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) input and output connections supports SD, HD and 3 Gb/s signals. To
use the SDI signal as your video input, press the IN button on the front panel and then select SDI as
your video source.
If your program audio is embedded in the SDI video input signal, you must select EMBED on the front
panel.
A reclocked, SDI Input Loop connector is provided which always shows the SDI input signal regardless of
whether the analog, HDMI or SDI input button has been selected on the front panel.
Analog Video
Both analog composite and component video sources are supported in the Teranex Processor, and
you may change which signal type you are using at any time. You will note that the BNC connectors
labeled Y/NTSC/PAL serve double duty as connections for the Y (luminance) component signal OR
NTSC/PAL composite video sources. You can define the desired analog video signal type, composite
or component, via the front panel LCD menu.
If the analog video output is configured as composite, HD video output formats will be down converted
to SD as a monitoring quality output. If the analog video output is configured as component, HD will be
provided, as there is no need for downconversion.
