Blackmagic Design Teranex AV: The Ultimate Converter for Live Events and Professional AV
In the high-stakes world of live production and professional AV installations, signal compatibility, quality, and timing are non-negotiable. The Blackmagic Design Teranex AV is engineered from the ground up to be the definitive solution, delivering an incredible 1,089 different up, down, cross, and standards conversions for all formats up to stunning Ultra HD 4K 2160p60. Built on Teranex’s legendary, patented image processing algorithms, every conversion is visually transparent and indistinguishable from the original source.
Specifically designed for live events, the Teranex AV boasts extremely low latency of just 67 milliseconds. This means you can convert any SDI or HDMI signal and project it live, perfectly in sync with the on-stage performance. Imagine projecting a close-up of a musician's hands onto a massive screen with zero perceptible delay. The converter's versatility extends to its comprehensive I/O, including 12G-SDI, Quad-Link SDI, HDMI 2.0, and both professional XLR and consumer HiFi audio inputs. This allows you to connect virtually any video or audio source—from broadcast cameras to laptops and lapel mics—and seamlessly embed and output a unified signal.
Beyond conversion, the Teranex AV is a powerful production hub. An internal still store lets you load logos and graphics to display between presenters, while a live freeze-frame can hold a slide on screen while a speaker makes last-minute changes. With built-in resynchronization, switching between live feeds, stills, and black is always clean and professional. It can even function as a video wall processor, splitting an Ultra HD source across four HD screens. Housed in a robust chassis with rear brackets to protect connectors, the Teranex AV is the reliable, all-in-one workhorse for any demanding video environment.
