Blackmagic Design Teranex AV

The Teranex AV is a versatile standards converter built for professional live events, AV installations, broadcast and post-production environments. It delivers real-time up-, down-, cross- and standards-conversion for virtually any SD, HD or Ultra HD video format — with full support up to 2160p60. 

Key Features:

• Supports full-format conversion (SD, HD, 2K, UHD 4K) with 1,089 possible format conversions.

• Dual SDI inputs and outputs (up to 12G-SDI) — including loop-through — for flexible signal routing.

• HDMI 2.0a input and output (plus loop-through) for convenient integration with computers, projectors, consumer devices or modern cameras — no additional converters needed.

• Wide audio support: consumer-level HiFi inputs, balanced analog inputs (XLR), AES/EBU digital audio — allowing embedding of external audio sources (e.g. microphones, laptops) into video feeds.

• Low latency processing — conversion latency can be as low as ~67 ms — ideal for live events, concerts, conferences, or real-time projection.

• Built-in “Still Store” and live “Freeze Frame” functions — useful for holding a video frame, displaying logos or graphics, or temporarily freezing a frame during transitions in live events or presentations.

• Quad-SDI / Quad-link output support — enabling video-wall setups or multi-screen distribution by splitting or replicating video outputs across multiple screens.

Ideal For:

• Live event production — concerts, conferences, corporate events — where multiple video and audio sources need to be converted and distributed in real time.

• AV installations and video-wall setups requiring flexible output formats, multiple screens, and low-latency conversion.

• Broadcast and post-production workflows needing format conversion between SD, HD, and Ultra HD, while preserving audio, timecode, and ancillary data.

• Presentations, shows, or streams where switching between live video, stored graphics/logos, or freeze-frames is necessary.
