Power supply not included - requires IEC cable.

The Teranex Express has 1089 conversions between SD, HD, and Ultra HD that are possible in real time. Conversion results are visually transparent enough that you won’t see a difference from the original. Processing power includes up and down conversions, cross conversions, and standards conversions. Video is instantly ready for use, since conversions retain timecode, ancillary data, 16 channels of audio, and perfect frame synchronization. It uses the same de-interlacer as other Teranex products, with a new scaling engine for enhanced up and down conversions.

Advanced patented algorithms allow millions of pixels to be processed simultaneously in X/Y positions and between video frames. Full 10-bit image processing, high quality de-interlacing and optical quality scaling convert video in real time with quality indistinguishable from the original video.

12G-SDI connections let you work in formats up to 2160p60 using your existing cables. The 12G-SDI connections are multi-rate – automatically switching to 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI – and Ultra HD 4K is supported. Output Ultra HD over four SDI connections with Quad SDI for monitoring or video wall purposes.

Control stays right at your fingertips, and a built-in LCD monitor makes menu navigation easy while eliminating the need for an external monitor. Video control soft menus include adjustments for luminance, saturation, hue, black level, R-Y/B-Y color difference, sharpness, and more. Ancillary data supports conversion of up to 16 audio channels, plus timecode and closed caption data. These controls can be accessed remotely with Teranex Setup software. Panel size of 1RU and machined metal construction makes the Teranex Express great for portable racks and outside broadcast vehicles.

The editing process can cause an improper cadence. Teranex Express eliminates that by automatically detecting and correcting the cadence, resulting in a cleaner film-style finished product. This function can also remove the pulldown, even when a video has already been edited and the cadence broken.
