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.

Getting Started with Conversion

Understanding the Teranex Processor

The Teranex Processor features patented processing technology for the highest quality conversion

between video standards, frame rates and resolutions. The incredible power of Teranex processing

includes: up conversion, down conversion, SD/HD cross conversion, SD/HD standards conversion,

cadence detection and removal, noise reduction, adjustable scaling, aspect ratio conversion including

Smart aspect, timecode conversion, 16 channel audio processing, and more.

Proprietary PixelMotion de-interlacing, 3:2 detection and detail enhancement, combined with a powerful

array processing module, provide the highest image quality up, down and cross conversions. The ﬁrst step

in the conversion process is to identify whether the input material is video or ﬁlm originated so as to apply

the appropriate ﬁlter to recover the full vertical resolution of the input material. The identiﬁcation process

is fully automatic and selects either PixelMotion de-interlacing for video based material or 3:2 detection for

ﬁlm based material.

PixelMotion De-interlacing

PixelMotion de-interlacing of video originated material produces perfect progressive frames in preparation

for further processing. The processing aperture is adjusted on a pixel-by-pixel basis, which preserves all

of the detail of the original interlaced image and eliminates jaggies in the output image, providing well-

deﬁned edges on objects and producing the sharpest images possible.

3:2 Detection

3:2 cadence detection recognizes the redundant ﬁelds inserted during the conversion from 24 frames

per second to 30. This advanced 3:2 pull down ﬁlter avoids frame rate conversion artifacts and provides

the highest vertical resolution and motion quality.

Since the quality of the video de-interlacing is so high, there will be no difference visible in the vertical

resolution seen with ﬁlm originated material and that of the de-interlaced video originated material.

Cadence Detection, Removal and Correction

Teranex is unique because it can automatically remove cadence (3:2 pulldown) from video when converting

to 24 fps, even when the footage has been previously edited and suffers from ﬂash ﬁelds. That’s perfect for

mastering clean online content! You can even take edited 3:2 sequences, remove the broken cadence and

re-insert clean cadence all in one pass.

Improper cadence detection can cause a loss of resolution,

resulting in moiré patterns. Advanced cadence detection

eliminates these annoying moiré artifacts.

Aspect Ratio Conversion

Teranex supports a wide range of aspect ratios, including variable and ﬁxed aspect ratios. Also included

is the proprietary Smart aspect that warps images from 4:3 to 16:9 without visible stretching of the center

action area of the image that normally occurs.

Noise Reduction

Adjustable noise reduction controls offer a greater degree of temporal recursive noise reduction with fewer

artifacts. A bias control allows the aggressiveness to be ﬁne-tuned. For ﬁlter performance testing, a Red

Overlay can be applied that will color pixels red that are in motion.

Frame rate Conversion

Moving images exist in three dimensions. Firstly, in the horizontal direction, images are made up of

individual pixels. Secondly, in the vertical direction, they are made up of the lines contained in the ﬁeld

or frame. The combination is referred to as the spatial domain. Thirdly, the motion image is composed

of a number of ﬁelds or frames per second, which is referred to as the temporal domain.

The process of frame rate conversion, also known as standards conversion, is a form of sample rate

conversion in two or three of the above dimensions. It consists of expressing moving images sampled

on a three-dimensional sampling lattice to a different three-dimensional lattice.

Frame rate conversions generally involve changing the number of lines and ﬁelds (or frames) per second

in an image. Examples of standards conversions include: 486i59.94 to 576i50; 720p59.94 to 1080i50;

1080i59.94 to 1080i50.

Teranex uses a process called linear interpolation to convert between these various spaces. Interpolation is

deﬁned as computing the value of a sample, or samples, which lie outside the sampling matrix of the source

signal. In other words, it is the process of computing the values of output samples that lie between the input

samples. Teranex processing allows for the processing aperture to be adjusted to provide the optimal result.

How to Set Up as a Standalone Converter

This section guides you through how to set up your Teranex 2D Processor hardware as a standalone

video format converter.

Connecting the Teranex 2D Processor as a standalone converter

Step 1. Connect power to one or both power sockets. The easiest way to power the Teranex 2D Processor

is to connect an IEC cable to its AC power socket. Alternatively the 12V DC military grade port

can be used for external battery power and/or failover redundancy with an optional “brick” DC

adapter.

Step 2. Connect cables between the video and audio connections on your Teranex 2D Processor and

your video equipment.

Step 3. If you are using analog or AES/EBU audio, rather than SDI or HDMI embedded audio, connect

common third party breakout cables to the DB-25 audio connectors for analog and AES/EBU

audio. Pinout diagrams for the DB-25 audio connectors can be seen in the "Connecting Video

and Audio Hardware" section of this manual.

Step 4. On the front panel press the IN button and set the video source to SDI, HDMI or Analog. If you

are using embedded SDI or HDMI audio, set the audio source to Embed. Otherwise select from

AES or Analog audio. The processor will detect the format of the video input and automatically

conﬁgure the unit. The integrated LCD will show the incoming video signal.

Step 5. Press the OUT button on the front panel and use the buttons to select your desired output format,

frame type, frame rate and also set the output aspect ratio if needed. Press “Accept” on the

integrated LCD to conﬁrm the new selection. You will notice that all video and audio output

buttons will be lit, indicating that all output types are active simultaneously.

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.

Getting Started with Conversion

Analog Audio

Two methods of connecting analog audio are available:

a DB-25 multi-pin connector for connecting 4 channels of balanced analog audio In and Out

a pair of RCA phono connectors for stereo left and right input.

The DB-25 connector is used for connection of 4 input channels and 4 output channels of balanced

analog audio to the Teranex 2D Processor. An optional breakout cable is required, which is a standard

Yamaha format cable for balanced XLR connections. This inexpensive breakout cable may be purchased

through many vendors, or may be fabricated using off the shelf connectors and cable.

For input of HiFi Stereo audio, a pair of RCA phono connectors are provided to permit connection

of devices that have stereo unbalanced RCA audio outputs. These devices may include DVD players,

VTR’s, etc. that do not have professional, balanced analog outputs.

When you select the ANLG button on the front panel as the audio input type, a menu page will appear on

the front panel LCD allowing you to choose which of the two analog audio sources you want to use.
