Need power requirements

PostThu Nov 15, 2012 4:41 am

I'm looking for power requirements (especially power draw) for these Blackmagic products:

* ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel
* Micro Videohub 16x16
* Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio

I looked on the main web pages and in the support downloads/manuals, but I came up empty. Can anyone fill in the blanks?

ATEM 1 M/E - specified 50W, in "Power usage" position here:

It is true that the same information is not available about other items in your list.

Thanks for the pointer. I must have missed that spec the first time through. This apparently shows the ATEM1 M/E Broadcast Panel as 40 Watts, though. They're all starting to blur together. :)

I'm still looking for power usage for:

* Micro Videohub 16x16
* Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio

As according to our power supply unit list, for the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel, the PSU used is 12V70W with output of 12V-5.5A.

Micro Videohub's PSU is 12V150W with output of 12V-12.5A.

HyperDeck Studio's PSU is 12V10W with output of 12V-0.84A

Hope this info helps. Please do refer to your friendly local reseller/distributor if you require to purchase these power supply units.

Darrell, thanks for the note. I'm looking for the actual power usage of the devices, and not necessarily the capacity of the power supplies. For example, the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel apparently uses a power supply that supports up to 70W, but the spec sheet shows a power usage of 40W.

I can conservatively spec my studio with the power supply capacities, but it would be nice to have the more accurate power use numbers.

Micro video hub and Hyperdeck studio are both in the area of 20 watts draw. There power supplies have lots of head room.
