Installing Blackmagic Teranex Software

Installing Blackmagic Teranex Software on Windows

Step 1. Ensure you have the very latest driver. Visit www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

Step 2. Open the “Blackmagic Teranex” folder and launch the “Blackmagic Teranex Installer”.

Step 3. The software will now be installed on your system. An alert will appear: “Do you want to allow

the following program to install software on this computer?” Click Yes to continue.

Step 4. You will see a dialog bubble saying “found new hardware” and the hardware wizard will appear.

Select “install automatically” and the system will find the required Desktop Video drivers. You

will then receive another dialog bubble saying “your new hardware is ready for use.”

Step 5. Restart your computer to enable the new software drivers.

Once the computer has restarted, all the Blackmagic Teranex software applications will be installed and

can be accessed from Start > Programs > Blackmagic Design.

The Teranex folder contains the Teranex Utility, which allows you to update the internal software via USB.

Also included in the folder is this instruction manual.

The Media Express folder contains Blackmagic Media Express which allows Teranex to capture and

playback video via a Thunderbolt connection. Alternatively, the Thunderbolt connection allows you to

perform waveform monitoring using the Blackmagic UltraScope software.

Updating the Teranex Processor Software

From time to time Blackmagic Design will release new internal software for your Teranex Processor,

with new features, bug fixes, and increased compatibility with third party software and video devices.

To update the internal software:

Step 1. Connect your Teranex to your Mac OS X or Windows computer via USB and launch the Teranex

Utility. This utility checks the internal Teranex Processor software and informs you if new software

is available.

Step 2. If the Teranex Processor software requires updating, you will be prompted by a window. Select

Update Now to initiate the update process which may take a few minutes. Do not unplug power

from the Teranex Processor during the update.

Step 3. Once the software update is complete, the Teranex Processor automatically restarts to enable

the new software.

Launch the Blackmagic Teranex Installer and follow

the install prompts.
