Switches
Teranex Mini - HDMI to Optical 12G’s switches provide the following settings:
Switches 8 - Analog Audio, AES/EBU Audio
Set switch 8 to ‘off’ to embed balanced analog audio. Set to ‘on’ for digital AES/EBU audio. To
use these inputs switch 7 must also be set to ‘on’.
Switches 7 - HDMI Audio, Input Audio
Set switch 7 to ‘off’ to select embedded HDMI audio, or to ‘on’ for analog or AES/EBU audio.
Switch 6 - Input Audio/Timecode
Set switch 6 to ‘on’ to input timecode via the R channel audio XLR connector. Set to ‘off’ to
input audio.
Switch 5 - 60 to 59.94 Off/On
When set to ‘on’, this setting will allow your converter to detect any HDMI source video running
at 60 frames per second and automatically convert it to 59.94 frames per second.
For example, you may need to connect a computer’s HDMI output to a switcher using the
standard HD 59.94 frame rate. Some computers output 60 frames per second, so by setting
switch 5 to ‘on’ your converter will always detect 60 frames per second and convert it to 59.94.
Switches 2, 1 - Select Format Bit 1, 0
When connecting an HDMI source that can output Ultra HD and HD, you can set your converter
to force the source output to one or the other. This can be helpful when you want to record or
display your computer’s desktop on SDI or Optical equipment in HD so it is larger and
easy to view.
While it may appear like it’s an up or down conversion setting, what your converter is actually
doing is telling your source equipment to output Ultra HD or HD video so that your converter can
then output the source video’s native HD or Ultra HD resolution without up or down conversion.
To force your source video to HD, Ultra HD, or to let your converter automatically negotiate the
optimum resolution with your source equipment, simply use combinations of switches 1 and 2.
The combination settings are shown below.
‚
Auto - Switch 1 to OFF, Switch 2 to OFF.
Your converter will negotiate an optimum HD or Ultra HD resolution with your source
equipment based on its output capabilities.
‚
Force to HD - Switch 1 to OFF, Switch 2 to ON.
If your HDMI source equipment is capable of outputting HD and Ultra HD, your
converter will instruct the source equipment to output HD video.
‚
Force to Ultra HD - Switch 1 to ON, Switch 2 to OFF.
If your HDMI source equipment is capable of outputting HD and Ultra HD, your
converter will instruct the source to output Ultra HD video.
