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.

Insulation and outside cover materials tough to cut and strip.
Size: 30ft, Style: 10 Gauge
Made in China. Wire works fine but the materials used for insulation and the outer cover are a pain to separate and strip for use. This isn’t like Ancor wire!

Well worth it, Cost efficient and heavy duty! don't hesitate just buy!!
Size: 100ft, Style: 14 Gauge
Very nice and durable wire. well insulated, neatly wrapped and held secure in roll with velcro straps and wire is flexible enough but at the same time sturdy for any job. Wire strippers had no problem pulling insulation coat off. all 100 foot of wire was used on a new pontoon build and will be ordering more from these guys. If you are looking at a couple options of which wire will do you the best look no further and hit BUY NOW!

My Denon ROCKS
Style: AVR-X3800H
Pros: Nine Amps power a 9.1 or 7.1.2 or 5.2.4 speaker configuration because most of us want Atmos to work in our listening room. Plenty of power available in each amp and each configuration Atmos DTS IMAX plus any other codec or audio visual enhancement is available. Yes, 4K 8K HDR all supported. Three HDMI outputs Preamp output for up to 11 channels so any combination of preamp vs. power amplifier output is available. But not both preamp AND power amp for the same channel. And you can pick and choose which channel you want for pre amp vs power amp individually. So it can function as a AV Preamp Processor at very reasonable price point. DAC (changes Digital Signal to Analog) with all the power amplifiers you could want. High quality, including DSD, is an added bonus. Setup customizable to the nth degree. Some people might say too many options but that’s the way we get this AVR to meet our individual requirements I’ve been working with the setup for the last week and have dialed in for my needs. Still playing with the HEOS but I think it’s working well for now. Various HDMI inputs need different surround settings, I like the DTS best, but the unit has a way to include default settings for each HDMI. I’ll use default settings with my BluRay. And I’ll use direct or pure or whatever the source allows for music and streaming. And most users will want a streaming stick like the Amazon one otherwise you can’t get the Atmos signal to work. Older streamers won’t pass the Atmos signal though. The only problem with a device like this is you will buy more speakers and amps and possibly even more subwoofers, the unit will support 4 subwoofers. Enjoy So I will get back to you with comments about longer term issues. BTW the 3800 was a refurbished version for $999 . Definitely an excellent value. The online reviews are quite favorable. Even the audiophiles are still learning the nuances of setup. It’s worth the extra effort to get the most out of each user’s individual existing equipment. Cons: None. I’ve been an audio video nerd for decades so I can say that the setup effort is easily justified once the user, with user manual in hand, patiently works out the desired configuration. The audio expert online information is invaluable. I have 21MBS broadband service in my region. Even with this limitation I have more than enough added capacity with the Denon that I would never return it to seller unless someone catastrophic happened. Yes I like it that much.
