Getting Started with Ultra HD
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.

Connecting Ultra HD Video
Teranex Mini IP Video 12G supports 12G-SDI so you can connect SDI video formats up to
2160p60. However, to send and receive Ultra HD video over the network you will need to install
an optional 10G Ethernet optical fiber module and connect to the network via single mode
optical fiber cables with LC connectors.
The 10G Ethernet optical fiber module is available from any Blackmagic Design reseller and you
can find more information on the Blackmagic Design website at www.blackmagicdesign.com.
TIP
When the optional 10G Ethernet optical fiber module is installed and connected to
your network, the 1G Ethernet port is disabled and all communication between your
Teranex Mini IP Video 12G and your network is handled via the 10G Ethernet connection.
This includes all network related activity, such as changing settings and updating the
unit's internal software.
