Up Conversion to Ultra HD using Teranex Express
The Teranex Express model supports up conversion to Ultra HD and down conversion from Ultra HD.
Teranex Express features 12G-SDI connections that support multi rate switching to 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI,
regular HD-SDI and standard definition SDI. This means you can convert between SD, HD and Ultra HD
formats easily.
In this example, 1080i59.94 SDI input video is being converted to Ultra HD 2160p59.94 with embedded audio.
Power your Teranex Express Processor and connect your inputs and outputs.
Setting your Input
Step 1. Press the IN button on the Teranex Express control panel and select SDI video.Teranex Express
will automatically detect the input format, display the input video on the LCD and illuminate
the corresponding buttons.
Step 2. EMBED will be illuminated as the audio input type.
Setting your Output
Step 1. Press the OUT button on the control panel. On the Teranex Express, the SDI and the EMBED
audio buttons will be illuminated blue. If the optional optical fiber module is installed, the OPT
button will also be blue.
Step 2. Press the UltraHD button. Select the P button for progressive output, and the 59.94/60 button
to select your frame rate. The format, frame and rate buttons are now illuminated green, ready
for you to accept your conversion set up or make changes.
Step 3. Using the soft menu buttons, select Change. The output video is now displayed on the LCD
and sent to all output connectors. The buttons will also illuminate blue to confirm your settings.
Setting your Aspect Ratio
Because this conversion maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio, no aspect ratio buttons will be illuminated.
Your Teranex Processor is now ready to up convert your HD video to a 12Gb/s UltraHD single link output
via OUT A. If you need dual link 6Gb/s output instead, select this mode via the Dual Link Output menu
and use outputs A and B for 6 Gb/s dual link UltraHD connections.
Pressing the IN button displays the input format on the
control panel buttons. In the above illustration, the input
format is 1080i59.94 via SDI with embedded audio.
