Instruction manual

Using the Blackmagic Teranex Setup Utility

Menus and Buttons Explained

Most of the remote control functions and parameters in the interface are very intuitive, especially if you

are familiar with the front panel operation of the Teranex Processors.

Function Page Bar

Setup and operational controls are separated by function into six pages.

Setup Selection of video and audio input sources, output video format, external reference

and other functions. Unlike the front panel mode of operation, a change of output

format is immediately processed and does not require confirmation.

Processing Access to Video Proc Amp and Color Correction controls, as well as noise reduction

and other advanced functions.

Aspect Choice of aspect ratio, including fixed aspect ratios, variable aspect ratio controls and

choice of color fill for PBOX/LBOX aspect ratios.

Data Ancillary data parameters, including timecode, closed captions and video indexing.

Audio Audio gain, delay and mapping functions.

Configure Displays the name, model and IP address of the Teranex you are controlling. You can

also give the unit a unique name so you can identify it when you have multiple Teranex

units in your system. Simply click in the Name field and enter a new name for each

device. The new name will be seen when you are selecting a Teranex to control via the

utility and will also be displayed in the utility’s header once connected.

Settings Menu

The Settings Menu lets you Save and Recall Presets 1 through 6. Click on the Settings gear to reveal a

drop down menu, then click on Save or Recall for the desired Preset number. You will be asked to confirm

your selection in a dialog box.

Slider Adjustments

To make adjustments, click and drag a slider with your mouse. Another way to adjust a slider is to use

the directional keys on your keyboard. The Up and Right arrows will increment the slider by 1 unit, while

the Left and Down arrows will decrement the value. You can also click in the value box to enter a slider

value directly. When needed, you can simultaneously reset all parameters within a section to their default

values by clicking the circular back arrow icon.
