Getting Started with Capture and Playback
18
AES/EBU Audio
A DB-25 connector is provided for connecting up to 8 input channels (4 pairs) and 8 output channels (4 pairs)
of balanced AES/EBU digital audio to the Teranex 2D Processor. An optional breakout cable is required,
which is a standard Yamaha format cable for balanced XLR connections. This inexpensive breakout cable
may be purchased through many vendors, or may be fabricated using off the shelf connectors and cable.
HDMI Video and Audio
The Teranex Processor supports video and audio via HDMI inputs and outputs. Any audio associated
with the HDMI input is treated as an embedded source, so you should select EMBED as the audio Input
source to use it.
HDMI cable quality varies greatly so we recommend buying high quality cables from a high end video
reseller. High quality cables help eliminate unwanted sparkles or glitches in the HDMI video input.
If you don't see video on the HDMI video input, even though you have a device connected, then
you might want to check if the HDMI device you have connected uses HDCP. This content protection
prevents the HDMI video from being seen on anything other than a television, so you won't be able to
see images from these devices. Devices with HDCP include DVD players, and set top boxes.
In general, cameras and computers don't create content containing content protection, so you should
not have any problems connecting these devices.
Please always be sure you have copyright ownership before using or displaying content publicly.
Thunderbolt
The Teranex Processor includes a super fast 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt port so you can connect it to your
computer for capture and playback of video and audio. Simply plugging in a Thunderbolt cable
transforms the Teranex Processor into a high end capture and playback solution with full software and
SDK support. Now you can perform high quality conversions and capture all in one pass! With the
Teranex Processor and included software, you get compatibility with editing software including Apple
Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro, plus support for Adobe After Effects,
Photoshop, Nuke
™
, ProTools, as well as the included Media Express and UltraScope software from
Blackmagic Design.
The Thunderbolt connection supports up to 16 channels of audio capture and playback.
