Atem camera converter power consumption

Hi

Does anyone know how much power the camera converters use? I want to replace all the power supplies with a single unit in my rig but want to make sure I have enough current to drive them.

Thanks

Jonathan

Well..it's a 12V .84A power supply. Which means the max output of the power supply is roughly 10W. I don't think those particular units need the full 10W. I know the Mini Converters need about 5W, and this probably needs a little bit more. But if you budget for 10W per unit you will keep a good overhead and not tax the PSU too heavily.

Hope that helps.
