Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 36VDC 60W

Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 36VDC 60W is a specialized internal power supply component used in several of Blackmagic's high-performance hardware units. Unlike the standard 12V supplies found in smaller converters, this 36V module is designed for devices that require higher voltage rails to drive internal processing, cooling systems, or high-brightness displays.

Technical Performance

This module is an "open frame" or shielded internal switching power supply (SMPS) that converts AC mains power into a stable 36V DC output.

  • Voltage: 36V DC (High-voltage rail for professional internal circuitry).

  • Wattage: 60W (Sufficient overhead for devices with active cooling and high-speed FPGAs).

  • Input Range: Universal AC (100V–240V), allowing the hardware to function globally with only a change of the external IEC cable.

Compatible Hardware

This specific 60W/36V configuration is most commonly found in mid-sized rackmount equipment and dedicated control panels. It is frequently used as a replacement part for:

  • SmartView 4K: The 15.6-inch Ultra HD broadcast monitor, which requires the 36V rail to power the high-resolution backlight and 12G-SDI processing chips.

  • Various ATEM Panels: Certain legacy or specialized control surfaces use higher voltage rails to ensure consistent LED brightness across hundreds of backlit buttons.

  • HyperDeck Extreme 8K/Select Models: Devices requiring significant power for high-speed NVMe recording and large internal displays.

Common Failure Symptoms

Power modules are often the "sacrificial" component during a power surge or lightning strike. Signs that this module needs replacement include:

  • Total Power Failure: The unit does not power on, and there are no internal status LEDs illuminated on the Main PCB.

  • Intermittent Rebooting: The device starts up but crashes when a high-load task begins (such as switching to a 4K signal or increasing screen brightness).

  • Audible "Clicking" or Whining: A failing capacitor or transformer within the module may emit a high-pitched noise or a rhythmic clicking sound as it attempts to "cycle" on.

Key Features

  • Genuine OEM Component: Built to the exact safety and thermal specifications of the original factory unit.

  • Integrated Protection: Features internal over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection to prevent power spikes from reaching the expensive Main PCB.

  • Direct Plug Integration: Usually features a multi-pin wiring harness that plugs directly into the device's power distribution board or Main PCB, requiring no soldering.

Technical Installation Note

Replacing an internal power module involves working with "Line Voltage" (AC), which can be dangerous.

  • Safety First: Always ensure the AC power cord is completely disconnected before opening the chassis. Capacitors can hold a charge even after the unit is unplugged; wait at least 5 minutes before touching the module.

  • Mounting and Grounding: The module must be securely screwed into the internal chassis standoffs. These mounting points often serve as the electrical ground for the supply; a loose screw can lead to signal noise or electrical instability.

  • Thermal Pads/Spacers: Check if the original module had thermal pads or plastic insulators underneath it. These must be transferred to the new module to prevent a short circuit against the metal floor of the rackmount case.
