Blackmagic Teranex Setup Settings
The Teranex setup utility can change all the same settings that are available using the switches,
plus additional settings.
You can access these settings by moving between the ‘video,’ ‘audio,’ ‘configure,’ and
‘about’ tabs.
The ‘about’ and ‘configure’ tabs are detailed in the ‘Changing settings’ section in this manual.
The ‘video’ tab for Teranex Mini Analog to Optical 12G contains the following settings.
Video Input Menu
This lets you pick between component, s-video, and composite video input as well as setting
the luminance and chroma levels, and the B-Y and R-Y component levels independently.
If you have selected S-Video or composite input, you can additionally choose between 7.5 IRE
and 0.0 IRE black levels, depending on the region you are working in.
If you have selected component video, you can switch between SMPTE and Betacam levels.
SMPTE levels are more common and even Betacam SP decks can use SMPTE levels, so only
switch this to Betacam if you are sure that Betacam levels are being used.
Video Processing Menu
This menu allows you to set up conversion options, dependent on your analog video input.
Component video inputs can be converted from SD to HD, and HD to Ultra HD. S-Video and
composite inputs can only be converted from SD to HD.
The ‘audio’ tab for Teranex Mini Analog to Optical 12G contains the following settings.
Adjust your video luminance and chroma
levels and component chroma levels using
the ‘video’ settings page in Blackmagic

EBU levels using the ‘audio’ settings page.
