How does the Blackmagic Design Teranex Express revolutionize the world of video conversion As the world's premier real-time SD, HD, and Ultra HD broadcast up and down converter, it offers unparalleled quality and versatility. Powered by advanced patented algorithms, the Teranex Express delivers visually transparent conversions that meet the stringent standards set by major broadcasters and studios worldwide.
This innovative device supports an impressive 178 SD, HD, and Ultra HD up and down conversions, all in full 10-bit quality. It seamlessly integrates embedded audio, closed captions, timecode, and more, ensuring your video is ready for editing or broadcast without delay.
The Teranex Express is designed with a user-friendly control panel, mirroring the familiar layout of the Teranex 2D and 3D models. Its built-in LCD monitor allows for easy menu navigation and provides live video feedback, eliminating the need for an external monitor. Encased in an elegant machined metal front panel, this compact 1RU size device is perfect for both studio and portable racks, as well as outside broadcast vehicles.
The Teranex Express stands out with its ability to perform an astounding 178 up/down conversions between SD, HD, and Ultra HD in real time. Whether you're using it for video conversions or synchronizing non-genlocked, external feeds, or cameras into switchers for live production, the Teranex Express ensures conversions retain timecode, include closed caption data, and always maintain perfect audio sync.
Equipped with the most advanced broadcast connections, the Teranex Express is the world's first broadcast converter to include multi-rate 12G-SDI connections. This means it can effortlessly switch between 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI, making it compatible with all your existing SD, HD, and Ultra HD equipment. These connections can transfer data at a staggering 12 gigabits per second, supporting progressive Ultra HD video at up to 60fps.
The Teranex Express showcases the advanced processing technology developed and patented by Teranex. With instant calculations on thousands of pixels simultaneously, it offers full 10-bit processing, high-quality de-interlace, and new optical quality Ultra HD scaling algorithms.
