Q: 1. There's no way to bring in a signal via HDMI, scale it, and also bring in a signal via SDI, scale that, and then select which one is output depending on which one I needed to send to a projector for instance is there?Basically, I want to send to MacBook's to an ATEM Television Studio so be switched between them and cameras and displayed on projection screens. My understanding is that I'll have to convert the signal before it gets to the Switcher. So can this Teranex handle 2 inputs, or can it only take one in, convert it, and spit that same one out?

A: You can use the Teranex to scale the two signals, then go to the MacBook next to the switcher via the LAN connection.

Q: 2. Where can I download the user manual for the Teranex 2d processor? I want to read up on it before I buy. Thanks

Q: 6. Do you need the controller to operate the key?

A: I spoke to a Blackmagic tech support guy yesterday and he said you do not need the Smart Remote Controller to operate the Ultimatte 12. It does make controlling the unit and setting up a key, a lot easier but there is a software based controller that you can download for free on the Blackmagic website, on their support page.
