Introducing Teranex

The Teranex Processor is a high end video standards converter capable of extremely high quality image
processing for standards conversion and format conversion, as well as 16 channels of frame accurate audio
conversions. You can move from virtually any format to any other format in real time with literally hundreds
of combinations, perfect for live production.
The Teranex Processor does not need a connection to a computer and you can just switch it on and push
the buttons on the built-in control panel. The integrated LCD lets you view the incoming video signal and
preview the conversion without even needing an external monitor.
When connected to a Mac OS X computer with Thunderbolt technology, the Teranex Processor can also be
used for cleaning and converting content for authoring as well as video capture and playback for editing,
design and effects. Alternatively you can use the Thunderbolt connection for waveform monitoring with the
included Blackmagic UltraScope software!
If you want to update the internal software of the Teranex Processor with new features, bug fixes, and
increased compatibility with third party software and video devices, you'll need a Mac OS X or Windows
computer with a USB connection to run the included Teranex Utility software. Please check the
support page on our web site at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest version of software for your
Teranex Processor.
