Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 12VDC 60W

Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 12VDC 60W is one of the most common internal power supply units across the Blackmagic product line. It serves as the primary AC-to-DC converter for a wide range of 1RU rackmount equipment, providing a stable 12V rail that is the standard operating voltage for most Blackmagic logic boards and cooling systems.

Balanced Power and Efficiency

This 60W module is designed to provide a "middle-ground" power solution—offering more current than the small bricks used for converters, but in a more compact form factor than the heavy-duty 150W modules.

  • Output: 12V DC at 5 Amps.

  • Wattage: 60W (Optimized for devices with moderate processing needs).

  • Input: Universal 100V–240V AC, allowing the device to be used globally.

Broad Hardware Compatibility

This specific 12V/60W module is the "workhorse" power supply found in several popular Blackmagic units, including:

  • HyperDeck Studio HD Pro / 4K Pro: Powers the internal dual-slot recording logic and the front panel LCD.

  • MultiView 4 / MultiView 16: Drives the high-speed cross-point processors required to display multiple SDI feeds on a single screen.

  • Smart Videohub 12x12 / 20x20: Provides the primary voltage for the 6G-SDI routing matrix.

  • ATEM Television Studio Pro HD: Used in the smaller integrated switcher panels to power the processing engine.

Identifying Power Failure

Since this module is directly connected to the AC mains via an IEC cable, it is often the first component to fail during an electrical event. Common indicators that the module needs replacement include:

  • No LED Indicators: If the front panel of your Videohub or HyperDeck remains completely dark when plugged in.

  • Fan Twitching: The internal cooling fans may twitch or spin slowly but the device fails to "beep" or initialize, indicating the module can no longer provide the full 5A current required for a boot sequence.

  • Voltage Sag: The device may power on but lose its network connection or drop SDI signals intermittently as the power rail fluctuates.

Key Features

  • Genuine Factory Spare: Matches the ripple voltage and electromagnetic interference (EMI) specifications required to keep your video signals "clean."

  • Integrated Thermal Protection: Designed to shut down safely if internal rack temperatures exceed safe limits, preventing a fire hazard.

  • Low-Profile Open Frame: Specifically designed to fit in the tight vertical clearance of 1RU (1.75 inch) rackmount chassis.

Technical Installation Note

Replacing a 12V 60W module is a standard repair, but requires a focus on electrical safety and mechanical fit.

  • Capacitor Discharge: Crucial Safety Step. Unplug the unit and wait at least 5 minutes before touching the module. High-voltage capacitors can hold enough charge to cause a significant shock even when the device is off.

  • Mounting Standoffs: Ensure the module is screwed tightly into the chassis. In many Blackmagic designs, the metal standoffs provide the Safety Earth (Ground) path from the AC input to the chassis.

  • Wiring Loom: Be careful when disconnecting the plastic molex-style connector from the Main PCB. These can become brittle over years of heat cycles; press the release tab firmly rather than pulling on the wires.

  • Insulation Sheet: If the original module had a clear plastic "Mylar" sheet underneath it, ensure this is re-installed with the new module to prevent the underside of the PCB from shorting against the metal chassis.
