Blackmagic Design BMD-CONVNTRM/CA/SDIAU Teranex Mini SDI Audio 12G

The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini SDI to Audio 12G is a dedicated converter built to extract embedded audio from SDI video signals across the full spectrum of professional formats. Whether you are working with standard definition, HD, 2K, or Ultra HD 4K content, the unit automatically detects the incoming signal and outputs up to four channels of AES/EBU balanced digital audio through its XLR connectors. The 12G-SDI input means it can handle single-link UHD signals without requiring quad-link setups, streamlining cabling in modern production environments. A 12G-SDI loop output passes the video signal onward, making the converter easy to integrate into existing signal chains without the need for additional distribution amplifiers.

Designed in the Teranex Mini form factor, this converter occupies minimal space and can be used standalone on a desk or mounted in a rack using an optional shelf. Configuration and firmware updates are handled through USB or Ethernet, allowing operators to adjust settings such as assigning timecode output to the right XLR connector. This makes the unit particularly useful in broadcast, live event, and post-production scenarios where SDI audio needs to be broken out to external mixers, monitoring systems, or recording devices with professional digital audio inputs.
