Connecting Audio
There are no separate audio inputs as audio is always embedded into the SDI video signal and
is carried across the network in sync with the video.
Connecting to your Network
Your Teranex Mini IP Video 12G source and destination units were connected to the network
when you connected video via the 10G Ethernet connector. The 10G Ethernet connector
handles all network related activity including sending and receiving TICO encoded video,
changing settings and updating the unit's internal software.
About Network Switches
When connecting to a network switch, we recommend using a managed switch with PTP
precision time protocol and E2E end to end enabled. This type of network switch lets you
change the configuration to suit your network requirements, for example prioritizing traffic for
smoother data flow and improved reliability.
If you are connecting to a network switch with VLAN functionality, ensure VLAN is disabled.
Non managed network switches can still be used. However, without the IGMP management
systems enabled, a destination unit may be getting traffic from several sources, thus exceeding
its port's bandwidth.
NOTE
The number of IP video streams you can have routed on your network depends
on the bandwidth of your network switch. Refer to the your network switch's
manufacturer specifications for more information.
Network Settings
Your source and destination units will have their network settings set to DHCP by default.
DHCP lets your network automatically identify each Teranex Mini IP Video 12G with their own
IP addresses and lock each unit to the network's PTP clock, so you won't need to change any
settings and each unit will be automatically recognized by your network.
If you want to set the IP address manually on each unit, you can change the network settings
via the Blackmagic Teranex Setup administration software, or by using an optional Teranex Mini
Smart Panel, if attached. For more information, refer to the 'Settings' section in this manual.
Setting a Unit as a Source or Destination
Now that video is connected to your source and destination units and each unit is connected to
the network, you need to set each unit as a source or destination so they can be routed correctly.
If you have the basic front panel attached that came with the unit, you can use the built in small
switches. Simply move switch 1 up or down using the tip of a pen.
