Any plans for a new Teranex Standards Conversion
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2021 3:47 pm
4K DCI? HDR? 120 fps?
Need 6 immediately.

Teranex is not really a proper standards conversion box which delivers broadcast acceptable results. It has no motion adaptive engine, which means fps conversion is not good at all.
You can today run Alchemist as SaS, so you pay per minute and no need to own any hardware ( you need decent bandwidth though).
You can also run it on quite simple box- eg old 1080Ti with 8 cores CPU and speed will be real-time for HD ( if I remember well).
Any properly paid project will cover Alchemist costs.
If you need cheap solution then avisynth/vapoursynth can blow Teranex by miles and at 0 cost. You need special knowledge though. At the end nothing good is free
It is not for mastering though. It is a swiss army box you can use for a simple updown/down/cross for viewing purposes, audio delay, remapping audio, etc. Again, it is for live RT downstream feed.
It is not the same thing as Alchemist SaS product.

Is it for the edit room or the machine room?
If it's for the edit room, I was thinking of ditching all the gazillions of converters needed for our 5.1 online edit room and use an AVR receiver instead. Of course, that means HDMI.
But a 2K$ Denon AVR X3770H gets you:
- 3x HDMI output with upscale/downscale from SD up to 8K and HDR/12 bit compatibility
- Discreet analog outputs and speakers connectors
- Many HDMI inputs
- Adjustable audio delay
- Audio downmix (but no manual audio routing)
- Web interface to change, save and load settings via the LAN/WLAN
Checkout the manual to get an idea of the functions:

I personally haven't tried it yet.

Where did you get that price? I can't see it online. If there isn't any hidden yearly support fees, that would be a good price.
The trial link is down at the moment, it seems.
