Professional HDMI to 12G-SDI & Optical Fiber Conversion
The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini HDMI to Optical 12G is a powerful and compact solution for integrating consumer HDMI equipment into professional broadcast and production workflows. Engineered for absolute reliability, this converter seamlessly bridges the gap between cameras, computers, or gaming consoles and your 12G-SDI or fiber optic infrastructure. Future-proof your setup with native support for all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to a stunning DCI 4K 4096x2160 at 60 frames per second.
At its core, the Teranex Mini takes any HDMI signal and intelligently converts it to a pristine, re-clocked 12G-SDI output with extremely low jitter. For long-distance signal transmission and complete electrical isolation, simply install an optional SFP optical fiber module to send your video miles away without any degradation in quality. The converter automatically detects and matches the output to the input resolution, ensuring a plug-and-play experience for your most critical projects.
Professional productions demand professional audio. The Teranex Mini features two full-size XLR inputs, easily switchable between balanced analog and AES/EBU digital audio. This allows you to embed audio from mixers, microphones, or other sources directly into your video signal. For unparalleled control, manage all settings remotely over an Ethernet network using the included Converter Utility software for Mac and Windows. This is invaluable when managing multiple converters in a large rack or facility.
Powering the unit is incredibly flexible. Use the Ethernet port for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to simplify your cabling, or utilize the built-in 90-240V international power supply with a standard IEC cable. Its robust, compact design allows for versatile placement—on a desktop, hidden in a cable duct, or rack-mounted. An intelligent thermal system with crossflow cooling ensures reliable, quiet operation, even when multiple units are installed side-by-side, preventing overheating and providing mission-critical stability.
