How to update the Blackmagic Teranex Software
From time to time Blackmagic Design will release new software for your Teranex Processor, with new
features, bug fixes, and increased compatibility with third party software and video devices.
To update your Teranex Processor with new software, you need to use the Teranex Utility to connect to the
Teranex Processor via USB. This utility checks the internal Teranex Processor software and lets you know if
there is new software.
First, download the latest Blackmagic Teranex software and install it on your computer using the instructions
in the Installing Blackmagic Teranex Software section of this manual. Once installed, the new software for
your Teranex Processor will be included in the Teranex Utility.
Updating the Teranex Processor Software
Step 1. Connect the Teranex Processor via USB to your computer. The switcher chassis is equipped with
a mini-USB 2.0 port which can be connected to your computer's USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port using a
USB cable. When upgrading software, make sure there is only one Teranex Processor connected
via USB to the computer running the Teranex Utility software.
Step 2. Launch the Teranex Utility software.
Step 3. If the Teranex Processor software requires updating, you will be prompted by a window asking
if you would like to update the software. Select Update Now to initiate the update process. The
update process may take a few minutes. Do not unplug power from the Teranex Processor during
the software update.
Step 4. Once the software update is complete, the Teranex Processor will automatically restart to enable
the new software.
