Thank you for purchasing Teranex Mini IP Video 12G, a Teranex Mini converter that lets you
send SDI video over IP networks.
English
Your Teranex Mini IP Video 12G converts SDI video into TICO encoded data which can be
delivered over your network via Ethernet. A second unit connected to the network decodes the
data and converts it back to SDI so you can plug the video into other SDI equipment.
With multiple units connected to your network as sources or destinations, you can route any
signal to any unit using Blackmagic Videohub Control or Teranex setup software, or via the LCD
menu with an optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel attached.
HD video can be connected via the 1G Ethernet port, or you can install an optional 10G Ethernet
optical fiber SFP module if you want to connect Ultra HD video!
This instruction manual contains all the information you need to start using your Teranex Mini
IPVideo 12G.
Please check the support page on our website at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest

For a basic IP video connection, you will need two Teranex Mini IP Video 12G’s. One unit will be
the source, which will convert your source video using TICO encoding, and the other unit will be
the destination, which receives the TICO encoded video signal and converts it back to SDI so
you can then plug it into other SDI equipment such as a monitor or recording deck.
TICO encoding is a visually lossless compression specifically designed to let you to distribute
high quality video across an IP network.
However, Teranex Mini IP Video 12G is more than a simple point to point video over Ethernet
converter, because it can also use the Blackmagic Videohub Software. This turns any Windows
or Mac OS computer into a router server that can manage the connections between many units
so you can build a large custom sized router, all using your network.
The advantage of this is you can customize the size of your router plus you can also use
broadcast router control panels, routing software and even custom automation solutions
designed for Blackmagic Design’s Videohub routers. This eliminates the user and installation
complexity, and the whole system is as fast to use as any traditional broadcast style router.
Connecting Power
The first step is to plug in power to your Teranex IP Video 12G units. To supply power, simply
plug a standard IEC power cable into the power input on each unit’s rear panel. When power is
connected, the small LED indicator on the basic front panel illuminates white.
NOTE You can also power your IP Video 12G via Ethernet by connecting the 1G Ethernet
PoE+ port on the rear of each unit into a compatible Ethernet switch that supports PoE+
or ‘power over Ethernet plus’.

The next step is to connect the unit’s 1G Ethernet output to your network. HD video is sent and
received via the 1G Ethernet connector on the unit’s rear panel. The direction of the signal, for
example a video input or output, depends on whether you have set the unit as a source or
destination. You can find more information about this setting in the ‘setting Teranex Mini IP
Video 12G as a source or destination’ section in this manual.
You can plug into your network using a standard Cat 5 or Cat 5e Ethernet cable, however we
recommend using a shielded cable, such as a Cat 6a S/FTP network cable. A shielded cable
will prevent potential electromagnetic interference when the unit is positioned near other
electrical equipment.

Connecting the Destination Video Output
For the destination unit, you will likely want to connect the unit’s video outputs to other SDI
equipment, for example a HyperDeck Disk Recorder or SDI monitor. To do this, simply plug into
the SDI outputs on the unit’s rear panel. There are two SDI outputs so you have the option to
plug into more SDI equipment if you need to.
Connecting Audio
There are no separate audio inputs as audio is always embedded into the SDI video signal and
is carried across the network in sync with the video.
Connecting to your Network
Your Teranex Mini IP Video 12G source and destination units were connected to the network
when you connected video via the 1G Ethernet connector. The Ethernet connector handles all
network related activity including sending and receiving TICO encoded video, changing
settings and updating the unit’s internal software.
About Network Switches
When connecting to a network switch, we recommend using a managed switch with PTP
precision time protocol and E2E end to end enabled. This type of network switch lets you
change the configuration to suit your network requirements, for example prioritizing traffic for
smoother data flow and improved reliability.
If you are connecting to a network switch with VLAN functionality, ensure VLAN is disabled.
Non managed network switches can still be used. However, without the IGMP management
systems enabled, a destination unit may be getting traffic from several sources, thus exceeding
its port’s bandwidth.
NOTE The number of IP video streams you can have routed on your network depends
on the bandwidth of your network switch. Refer to the your network switch’s
manufacturer specifications for more information.
Network Settings
Your source and destination units will have their network settings set to DHCP by default. DHCP
lets your network automatically identify each Teranex Mini IP Video 12G with their own IP
addresses and lock each unit to the network’s PTP clock, so you won’t need to change any
settings and each unit will be automatically recognized by your network.
If you want to set the IP address manually on each unit, you can change the network settings
via the Blackmagic Teranex Setup administration software, or by using an optional Teranex Mini
Smart Panel, if attached. For more information, refer to the ‘Settings’ section in this manual.
Setting a Unit as a Source or Destination
Now that video is connected to your source and destination units and each unit is connected to
the network, you need to set each unit as a source or destination so they can be routed
correctly.
If you have the basic front panel attached that came with the unit, you can use the built in small
switches. Simply move switch 1 up or down using the tip of a pen.

the LCD menu settings. You can also use the Blackmagic Teranex Setup software. Refer to the
Blackmagic Teranex Setup section for more information on how to change settings using the
setup software.
Routing Sources and Destinations
With each unit set as a source and destination, you can now route the source to the destination
unit. There are two ways you can route your IP video, including the LCD menu with an optional
Teranex Mini Smart Panel attached, or via the Blackmagic Videohub software.
Routing IP Video using Teranex Mini Smart Panel
With a Teranex Mini Smart Panel attached you can route IP video using the buttons, rotary
knob and LCD.
To route a source to a destination unit:
1 Press the menu button to enter the settings menu.
2 Rotate the knob clockwise or counter clockwise to select the ‘source list’. Press the set
button to open the list.
3 Rotate the knob to select your desired source from the list and press the set button to
confirm the selection.
Press the menu button twice to return to the home screen. You will now see the video
for the selected source on the home screen.
With a Teranex Mini Smart Panel attached,
you can use the sources list in the LCD menu
to route sources to a destination
Routing IP Video using Blackmagic Videohub
If you have a larger network with multiple IP video units connected, it is much faster and easier
to route them all using Blackmagic Videohub Control. The Blackmagic Videohub software panel
lets you manage and route small to large networks of IP video units using one single
control panel.
For details on how to use the Videohub software, refer to the ‘Routing IP Video using
Blackmagic Videohub Control Software’ section.
77Getting Started with HD
Blackmagic Sof tware Control lets you manage and route multiple
sources and destinations using one single control panel
For hardware control over large networks you can route IP Video using a Blackmagic Design
hardware control panel, such as a Blackmagic Smart Videohub or Master Control. Refer to the
‘using a Videohub hardware panel’ section in this manual for more information.
Low Latency and Clean Switching
If you need clean switching when routing sources, you can set the unit to use the clean switch
feature. This lets you route sources sharing the same video format without any glitches.
However, this introduces a minor delay of several lines in the output video. For immediate
routing without any delay, select low latency. You can find more information about these
settings and how to change them in the ‘settings’ section in this manual.
Adding More Units to the Network
You can always add more Teranex Mini IP Video 12G units to your network if you need access to
more video sources, or route more video sources to more destinations.
1 Power the unit and connect to your network via Ethernet as shown earlier in the getting
started section.
2 Once connected and recognized by the network, set the unit as a source or destination
using the built in switches, or optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel.
3 Route a source to the unit using Blackmagic Teranex Setup or Teranex Mini Smart
Panel, or you can add the input to an IP Videohub and route the new source or
destination using Blackmagic Videohub Control.
NOTE For information on how to setup an IP Videohub on your computer so you can
route sources and destinations using Blackmagic Videohub Control, refer to the Setting
up and Routing and IP Videohub’ section in this manual.
That’s all there is to getting started routing HD video on your network!
The size of your network can be as small or as large as you need. It’s not unusual to find many
units connected to a network with many video sources routed to many destinations. Please
keep reading this manual for more information about the features on your Teranex Mini IP Video
12G, plus all available settings.

Destination units can be set to low latency or clean switch modes. Low latency minimizes
any delay in signal from source to destination by only several lines, however when switching
between sources there may be a small disturbance as the source is resynchronized.
Toavoid any disturbance or glitches when changing sources, turn low latency off. This
sets the unit to use clean switch mode, which removes any disturbance when changing
sources using the same video format, but adds 1 to 2 frames of latency.
Network
Select DHCP if you want to let the network automatically identify each unit with its own
IP address, or ‘static’ if you want to enter your own network settings.
Information
This setting is an indicator that provides information on the source Ethernet connection,
such as the source port and IP address.
PTP
The PTP, or precision time protocol setting, indicates whether the unit is a master or
slave. The master is provided by a PTP grandmaster device somewhere in the network.
If your network does not contain a PTP grandmaster, one Teranex Mini IP Video 12G will
be automatically set as the master unit, and all other connected units will lock to that
master unit.
Source List
All available Teranex Mini IP Video 12G source units will be displayed in a list using their
custom name entered using Blackmagic Teranex Setup. On a destination unit, press the
