FAQs

How many Teranex Mini Converters can fit on this shelf?

The shelf can accommodate up to three Teranex Mini Converters side-by-side in a single rack unit (1RU). Depending on the RU height of your setup (1RU, 2RU, or 3RU), you can fit up to three in 1RU, six in 2RU, or nine in 3RU.

Does this shelf come with built-in fans?

Yes, the shelf features variable speed fans that are integrated into its design to ensure optimal airflow between mounted devices.

Can I mount devices other than Teranex Minis on this shelf?

Yes, it is also designed to support HyperDeck Studio HD Minis, ATEM Television Studio HDs, Multiview 4, or a combination of these devices.

What material is the shelf made from?

The shelf is constructed from a lightweight, durable, and strong metal.

Can I mount this shelf in a road case?

Yes, the shelf facilitates mounting in the rear of a rack or within a road case, offering versatile installation options.

What is the primary benefit of the fan system?

The variable speed fans pull air from one unit to the next, ensuring consistent cooling for all devices and preventing overheating, even when densely packed. If one fan fails, adjacent units compensate by increasing their fan speed.

Is this shelf compatible with converters from other brands?

This shelf is specifically designed for Blackmagic Design's Teranex Mini series and other specified Blackmagic devices. Compatibility with third-party converters is not guaranteed.

Troubleshooting

Devices are overheating despite being mounted on the shelf.

Ensure the rack unit itself has good ambient airflow. Check that fan vents on the shelf and individual devices are not blocked by cables or dust. Verify that devices are correctly seated and that the fan system is operational.

Shelf does not fit securely in the rack.

Confirm you are using a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Ensure all rack mounting screws are properly tightened and that the shelf is oriented correctly.

Fans are making unusual noise.

The fans may have accumulated dust. Gently clean the fan blades and vents with compressed air. If the noise persists, a fan may be failing and might require replacement.

Devices are not recognized after installation.

Double-check all power and data connections to the devices. Ensure devices are compatible with the shelf and properly seated. Power cycle the rack and all connected devices.
