Common Teranex Mini Converters errors & problems
What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
12G-SDI dropouts, sparkles, or no lock at 2160p60
Likely cause: 12G-SDI runs ~12 Gb/s over one BNC and is far less tolerant of cable loss than 3G/6G; correct cable and short runs preserve signal integrity.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
How do I update firmware / change settings?
Likely cause: Teranex Mini firmware is bundled with the setup utility; the About tab compares versions and pushes the internal update.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Optical model won't lock / no signal over fiber
Likely cause: Optical Teranex Mini models ship without an SFP; a missing or under-rated module (e.g., a 3G SFP fed a 12G signal) can't lock the link.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
SDI to HDMI: monitor blank or no picture, esp. UHD/2160p60
Likely cause: Some HDMI monitors won't sync to YUV 4:2:2 at high UHD rates; forcing RGB gives a colorspace the display accepts.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
SmartPanel freezes / front panel unresponsive after long runtime
Likely cause: The crossflow/heat-pipe thermal subsystem can be overwhelmed under sustained load with limited airflow; PoE+ operation adds heat.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Unit won't power on / no lights
Likely cause: Teranex Mini draws more than standard 802.3af PoE budgets; PoE+ (or mains) supplies adequate power.
