Blackmagic Design Teranex Express

The new Teranex Express is the world’s first real time broadcast up and down converter that operates in SD, HD and Ultra HD and introduces the new 12G-SDI technology! Teranex Express is a whole new design featuring the advanced patented Teranex algorithms for the visually transparent quality conversions that Teranex has been famous for and that are often mandated by major broadcasters and studios worldwide! This new model includes an incredible 178 different SD, HD and Ultra HD up and down conversions in full 10-bit quality complete with audio, closed captions, timecode and more!

For users of other models of Teranex standards converters, the new Teranex Express will be easy to transition to because it includes the same familiar front panel layout. The built in LCD monitor lets users easily navigate menus and see source format and frame rate with live video, so they don’t have to use an external monitor. With an elegant machined metal front panel, its compact 1RU size and built in international power supply, Teranex Express is a true premium product from the internal processing quality right through to its attractive exterior design.

12G-SDI!
Teranex Express is the world’s first broadcast converter to include multi rate 12G-SDI connections. That means it can switch between 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI making it compatible with a wide range of existing SD, HD, and Ultra HD equipment. These connections can transfer data at an incredible 12 gigabits per second, making them fast enough to support progressive Ultra HD video at up to 60fps. That means Teranex Express will be able to support emerging formats when they become available, making it the most expandable and future proof solution available.

PixelMotion
Teranex’s proprietary and patented PixelMotion de-interlacing algorithms are built into the new Teranex Express so customers can get perfect progressive frames from interlaced material. The real time processing adjusts the aperture on a pixel by pixel basis. That means improved image quality because the vertical resolution is maintained. PixelMotion de-interlacing preserves source detail and, when combined with multidirectional diagonal filters, eliminates jaggies on conversions so you get well defined edges and the sharpest images possible. Teranex Express also supports conversion of up to 16 audio channels plus timecode and closed caption VANC data. Teranex Express is also compatible with Dolby encoded audio, so it never has to be decoded or re-encoded during up and down conversions of the same frame rate. With Teranex Express, subtitles are always retained and both audio and timecode always stay in perfect sync with your video.
