Connecting your Teranex
This section guides you through the initial steps to get your Teranex set up and ready to perform basic
standards conversions.
Step 1.
Power on the unit.
The easiest way to power Teranex 2D is to connect an IEC cable to the AC
power socket. However, the 12V DC military grade port can also be used for external battery
power and/or failover redundancy with a “brick” DC adapter. Teranex 3D has two built in AC
power supplies. We recommend connecting IEC cables to both AC power sockets for failover
redundancy.
Step 2.
Connect your camera, deck or any other video source to the video inputs on your Teranex.
Step 3.
Connect the video output connectors on your Teranex to a video destination, such as a disk
recorder or video monitor. All video outputs are active simultaneously so you can connect more
than one output device if desired.
Step 4.
Press the IN button on the front panel to set the video source to SDI, HDMI or Analog. You should
now see your video on the built-in LCD. Your input format is automatically detected and the
corresponding buttons on the front panel will illuminate. For example, if your input is 1080i50 over
SDI, the SDI input, 1080 Format, I Frame and 50 Rate buttons will light up.
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 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.
You should now see the converted video output on your video monitor, deck or other video output devices.

Teranex will show you which frame rates are available for
conversion. In this example, the conversion will be 720p50 with
embedded audio over SDI and analog audio over XLR.
Press the IN button to see the format of the video signal you are
