Description

Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 12VDC 225WThe Blackmagic Design Spares Power Module 12VDC 225W is a heavy duty internal power supply unit designed for the most power intensive hardware in the Blackmagic lineup. Providing a massive 225 watts on a 12V DC rail, this module is engineered for "Enterprise" class devices that feature high density FPGA processing, extensive 12G SDI crosspoints, or large arrays of physical controls. High Current Performance With a 225W rating, this module can deliver

The Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 12VDC 225W is a heavy-duty internal power supply unit designed for the most power-intensive hardware in the Blackmagic lineup. Providing a massive 225 watts on a 12V DC rail, this module is engineered for "Enterprise" class devices that feature high-density FPGA processing, extensive 12G-SDI crosspoints, or large arrays of physical controls.

High-Current Performance

With a 225W rating, this module can deliver approximately 18.75 Amps of current. This high capacity is necessary for devices that manage significant heat dissipation and complex mechanical tasks simultaneously.

  • Voltage: 12V DC (Standardized for high-end broadcast logic).

  • Wattage: 225W (High-overhead for mission-critical reliability).

  • Input: Universal AC 100V–240V.

  • Efficiency: Designed for 24/7 "always-on" environments like broadcast master control rooms and live production trucks.

Compatible Hardware

This power module is typically found in Blackmagic's "flagship" 2RU and larger devices, where a 60W or 150W supply simply wouldn't provide enough current:

  • ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K: The massive processing requirements for 80+ inputs and multiple M/E rows require this level of power.

  • Smart Videohub 40x40 (12G-SDI models): Routing forty 12G-SDI signals creates significant thermal and electrical load that requires a high-amperage supply.

  • Teranex AV / Express: Standards converters that perform intense real-time pixel processing and frame rate conversion.

  • Universal Videohub Frames: Used in modular router frames to power multiple I/O cards.

Symptoms of Failure

Because this module handles such high current, failures can be more dramatic than in smaller units.

  • Thermal Shutdown: If the module's internal cooling or capacitors degrade, the unit may shut down under load (e.g., when all 40 SDI ports are active).

  • High-Frequency Whine: A common sign of aging capacitors in a 225W supply, indicating it can no longer provide "clean" DC power.

  • Fan Failure Triggers: In some units, if the power module's voltage rail dips, the system fans may spin at 100% (failsafe mode) or stop entirely, leading to a secondary overheat on the Main PCB.

Key Features

  • Broadcast Grade: Low-ripple DC output to ensure no electrical noise is introduced into the SDI video signals.

  • Active/Passive Hybrid Cooling: Often features its own integrated heat sinks and is positioned near the unit's main fans for maximum longevity.

  • Redundant-Ready: In many 225W devices, these modules are designed to be paired with a second module for power redundancy.


Technical Installation Note

Replacing a 225W power module is a high-level repair that requires strict adherence to safety protocols.

  • Lethal Charge Warning: The large primary capacitors in a 225W supply can store a lethal electrical charge for a significant amount of time. Wait at least 15 minutes after unplugging the AC source before opening the unit.

  • Terminal Integrity: Unlike smaller modules with plastic clips, 225W units often use screw terminals or high-density spade connectors for the 12V output. Ensure these are tightened to the correct torque; a loose connection at 18 Amps can cause electrical arcing and fire.

  • Mounting and EMI: Ensure all mounting screws are used. This module generates a significant electromagnetic field; the metal chassis serves as both a heat sink and an EMI shield.

  • Airflow Check: When replacing the module, inspect the internal chassis fans. A power module failure is often preceded by a fan failure that caused the supply to bake in its own heat.

Are you replacing this in a Videohub 40x40 or an ATEM switcher? Knowing the specific device can help determine if there are additional calibration steps required.

Like a new bed.
Color: White, Size: Queen
Surprising how small the box it was delivered in. As the packaging is removed, the topper grows to full size. Easy to install. Very comfortable to sleep in. Getting into and out of a bed that is four inches taller takes some getting used to.

Overall decent
Color: White, Size: King
It smelled a bit “chemically” for the first few days. The smell did fade and eventually go away entirely. It also still slides off of my bed despite having the straps to hold it in place. Otherwise, I have no complaints. It’s extremely comfortable and adds a few extra inches to the height of my bed.
