The Blackmagic Design 12V12A Power Supply is a dedicated, high-current external power unit engineered specifically for the reliable operation of Broadcast Videohub matrix routers and other compatible Blackmagic devices with similar power requirements. In professional broadcast and production environments where uninterrupted signal routing is critical, this power supply ensures consistent and clean power delivery to the core infrastructure. It provides a regulated 12-volt DC output with a substantial 12-amp current capacity, which is necessary to support the multiple internal circuit boards, processors, and front-panel electronics of a fully loaded Videohub chassis, especially larger models with many routing cards. This robust power output guarantees stable operation even under maximum load, preventing voltage drops that could lead to system instability or shutdowns.

Constructed with a durable metal enclosure that promotes effective heat dissipation, this power supply is designed for continuous use in rack-mounted installations. It connects to the Videohub via a locking DC power cable, providing a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnection—a vital feature in mission-critical setups. The inclusion of a standard AC power cord allows for easy integration into any facility's power distribution system. By providing a dedicated, high-quality power source, this unit enhances the overall reliability and uptime of the video routing backbone, making it an essential component for broadcast facilities, post-production houses, and live production companies that depend on their Videohub for seamless, 24/7 signal management.
