About the Blackmagic Design BMD-PSUPPLY-24V250W Power Supply - URSA Cine 24V250W
The Blackmagic Design BMD-PSUPPLY-24V250W is a dedicated external power supply unit engineered to provide reliable, high-capacity DC power for demanding professional video equipment, most notably the URSA Cine camera series and other compatible devices within the Blackmagic ecosystem. This power supply delivers a regulated 24-volt DC output at up to 250 watts, ensuring stable operation for cameras and accessories that require substantial power for extended run times, especially when using power-hungry modules like large sensors, internal ND filters, and onboard recording. Its design focuses on providing clean, consistent power in studio and location environments, eliminating the limitations and uncertainties of battery power for multi-camera setups, long-duration recordings, or tethered operation.
The unit is constructed with a robust metal housing that provides effective shielding and heat dissipation for the internal switching power supply components. It features a universal AC input that automatically adjusts to mains voltages from 100 to 240 volts at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for international use without the need for a voltage converter. The DC output is delivered via a locking, multi-pin Fischer connector or similar robust connector that ensures a secure physical and electrical connection to the camera, preventing accidental disconnection that could disrupt a critical take. An integrated cooling fan maintains optimal operating temperature, and comprehensive circuitry protects against over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit conditions to safeguard both the power supply and the expensive camera it serves.
Designed for integration into professional workflows, the power supply can be used on a desktop, mounted in a rack with an optional accessory, or placed on the floor near the camera. Its substantial power output allows it to also power additional accessories via compatible distribution boxes. By providing a high-wattage, regulated DC source, this power supply enables cinematographers and video professionals to operate their URSA Cine cameras continuously without the downtime associated with battery swaps, ensuring uninterrupted production during studio sessions, live events, or any scenario where absolute power reliability is non-negotiable.
