UltraStudio with Thunderbolt™

Get elegant design combined with advanced technology!

The unique design of the UltraStudio family allows them to be used on a desktop or mounted in racks, all while still being small enough to be ultra portable. The UltraStudio 4K models include an elegant front panel with LCD with video, audio and status information. The compact UltraStudio HD Mini model combines affordability and the innovative design of a Teranex Mini converter, so includes a blank front panel as standard, but at any time you can upgrade it by adding a Teranex Mini Smart Panel! UltraStudio capture and playback solutions for Thunderbolt 3 computers are designed with a family break out box design, so you get a wide range of video and audio connections on industry standard connections!

Innovative Portable Design

Designed for portability, the compact UltraStudio mini models are only 1 rack unit in height and they are less than a rack unit in width so you can array more than a single capture/playback channel in 1 rack unit. The mini models use the same rack mount kit as the Teranex Mini converters and you can even combine different combinations of UltraStudio capture and playback, Teranex Mini converters, an ATEM Television Studio HD switcher or even multiview monitoring! Both UltraStudio 4K models, or the UltraStudio HD Mini model with Teranex Mini Smart Panel installed feature LCD display as well as buttons for quick setting changes. UltraStudio 4K models include a headphone output for audio monitoring and a microphone input with phantom power for plugging in a voice over microphone, all conveniently located right on the front panel!

Push Button Control

When you're working fast you need to change settings fast. UltraStudio 4K models feature input selection buttons on the front panel. You can capture SDI video with embedded audio, or you can choose different inputs, such as analog audio, to capture them from separate inputs. The built in LCD lets you see what input is selected and will switch to show you the output during playback.

You can even add push button control and an LCD screen to the front panel of UltraStudio HD Mini by simply installing a Teranex Mini Smart Panel.
