This advanced conversion unit brings exceptional broadcast‑quality monitoring to SDI‑based workflows by delivering clean, reliable HDMI output from a wide range of professional video sources. Engineered for environments that demand absolute consistency, it supports every major format from standard definition through high frame rate Ultra HD. Its internal processing intelligently adapts to incoming signals, ensuring stable output even when equipment upstream changes formats or frame rates. This makes it particularly effective in studios, live production environments and professional grading suites where robust monitoring is essential.
A key strength of this converter is its broad multi‑rate SDI compatibility. It seamlessly accepts SD, HD, 3G, 6G and full bandwidth 12G SDI inputs, allowing operators to use a single device regardless of project resolution. It supports formats up to 2160p60, maintaining native signal fidelity while offering an optional down converter that enables HD displays to accurately show Ultra HD sources. This flexibility ensures that the unit integrates smoothly into both modern Ultra HD pipelines and existing HD‑only monitoring setups.
Audio management is handled with the same level of precision. Embedded SDI audio is de‑embedded and output as professional balanced analog signals or digital AES/EBU, making the device a practical bridge between modern digital routing and traditional audio infrastructure. The right‑hand XLR connectors can also be assigned to carry timecode, which adds further utility for synchronization‑critical workflows such as multi‑camera setups or live event recording. With eight channels of embedded support, operators can maintain full multichannel monitoring without additional hardware.
The converter also supports loading 33‑point LUTs through the Teranex Utility, allowing for display calibration or creative look application directly from the hardware. Combined with its instant‑lock HDMI output, which ensures that screens connect quickly and reliably without signal dropout, the system provides a professional viewing experience even during fast‑paced production changes. Remote administration via Ethernet enables facility‑wide management, while an optional Smart Panel adds an LCD, rotary knob and direct‑access controls for onsite monitoring and configuration.
An internal international AC power supply ensures compatibility in global installations, while optional PoE+ capability offers alternative powering flexibility. The compact design makes it suitable for desktop use, rack mounting or integration into portable flight‑case systems used in broadcast trucks and live production rigs. Across every application, it delivers consistent results, making it a reliable anchor point for SDI‑to‑HDMI monitoring across any professional workflow
