How to Set Up for Capture and Playback
This section guides you through how to set up your Teranex Processor hardware with your computer for
video capture and playback, including capture with conversion and RS-422 remote deck control.
Connecting the Teranex Processor to your computer
Step 1.
Connect power to one or both power sockets.
The easiest way to power the Teranex 2D Processor is to connect an IEC cable to its AC power
socket. Alternatively the 12V DC military grade port can be used for external battery power and/
or failover redundancy with an optional “brick” DC adapter.
The Teranex 3D Processor has two built in AC power supplies. We recommend connecting IEC
cables to both AC power sockets for failover redundancy.
Step 2.
Connect a Thunderbolt cable between the Teranex Processor and a Thunderbolt port on your
computer, or to a Thunderbolt disk array which is attached to your computer.
Step 3.
Connect cables between the video connectors on your Teranex Processor and video equipment.
Step 4.
Connect cables between the audio connectors on your Teranex Processor and your video and
audio equipment.
The Teranex 2D Processor provides DB-25 connectors for connecting your analog and AES/EBU
audio inputs and outputs using third party breakout cables. Pinout diagrams for the DB-25 audio
connectors can be seen in the "Connecting Video and Audio Hardware" section of this manual.
The Teranex 3D Processor uses XLR connectors for balanced analog audio and AES/EBU audio.
Both models also provide RCA connectors for HiFi stereo audio input from consumer equipment.
Step 5.
If you want to remotely control a video deck with RS-422 deck control, connect an RS-422 cable
between the RS-422 remote ports of the Teranex Processor and the deck.
Step 6.
On the front panel press the IN button and set the video source to SDI, HDMI or Analog. If you
are using embedded SDI or HDMI audio, set the audio source to Embed. Otherwise select from
AES or Analog audio. The processor will detect the format of the video input and automatically
configure the unit. The integrated LCD will show the incoming video signal.
Step 7.
Press the OUT button on the front panel and use the buttons to select your desired output format,
frame type, frame rate and also set the output 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.
