Is it safe to run ATEM mini off vehicle power?

PostSun Aug 01, 2021 9:47 pm

Is it safe to run the ATEM mini from up to 14.5v? I have numerous "12v" power supplies that I use for amateur radio but they all actually output the equivalent of vehicle power at about 14v. Is this safe for the mini?

I'm working on a mobile setup and want to run everything in this small setup off of a single power supply.

Look on the plate on the underside of your device. It varies by model. My ATEM Mini Pro says 9 - 20V 30W. My ATEM Mini Extreme ISO says 10 - 20V 50W. Though this page https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/atemmini/techspecs/W-APS-14 has 36W for the former, but that might apply to a nominal 12V.

I'm assuming your power is clean and not attached to an unsupressed motor or something.

Tim,

Thanks, I never thought to look at the bottom. You are absolutely correct 9-20v 30w.

Yes, definitely clean power.
