Bridge Your Broadcast Workflow: Convert Quad-Link to 12G-SDI
The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Quad-SDI to 12G-SDI is the essential conversion tool for modern broadcast, live production, and post-production facilities. It masterfully solves the common challenge of integrating legacy Quad-Link SDI equipment with the latest single-link 12G-SDI infrastructure. If you have professional cameras, switchers, or decks that output four separate BNC cables, this compact converter seamlessly combines them into a single, high-bandwidth 12G-SDI stream, simplifying your cabling, reducing potential points of failure, and future-proofing your entire workflow.
Engineered for uncompromising quality, the Teranex Mini preserves every detail of your video signal. It supports a vast range of formats, from standard and high definition all the way up to Ultra HD and DCI 4K resolutions. The intelligent design features automatic input signal detection, so it instantly recognizes the incoming format and configures itself accordingly—no complex setup required. This plug-and-play capability is perfect for fast-paced environments where reliability is paramount. The converter also handles professional audio with precision, passing through up to 16 channels of pristine 24-bit, 48 kHz audio embedded in the SDI signal, ensuring your sound is as clean as your picture.
Housed in a sleek, low-profile chassis, the Teranex Mini is built for professional use. It can be discreetly placed on a desktop, or up to three units can be mounted side-by-side in a single rack unit using the optional Teranex Mini Rack Shelf. Control is both simple and flexible. Use the accessible mini DIP switches for quick configuration on the fly, or connect the unit via Ethernet to a Mac or Windows computer to access the free Teranex Setup software for advanced adjustments and remote management. For the ultimate in on-set control, add the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel to get a built-in color LCD for confidence monitoring and user-friendly push-button controls right on the front of the unit.
