Blackmagic Design Spares - Power Module - 12VDC 225WThe 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

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.

Extended Warranty is worth it.
So glad I took out a three year warranty, my Shark Steam Mop stopped steaming. Asurion refunded me with Amazon credit. Thank you.

Ease of handling
Initially when I filed the claim online, I was erroneously informed to contact the manufacturer because I was still under their warranty. I learned that I was not. It’s for this reason they got 4 stars instead of 5. I had to call and explain to Assurion. Once I did that they honored the extended warranty with no complications. I just had to return the defective device to them, they provided all prepaid UPS slip and I took it to UPS. They sent an Amazon gift card (via email) less than 48 hours after my UPS drop off. I enjoyed the ease of everything. Just make sure you call instead of handling the claim online. A person is always better.

Great protection plan service
My vacuum stopped holding a full charge after a little over a year, so I submitted a claim to Asurion. They immediately emailed me back with a gift card to cover the cost of replacing the vacuum. I was able to find an even more expensive vacuum that was on sale, so I'm very pleased with Asurion's protection plan.

Refunding/giftcards. Thank you
They were nice enough to replace my vacuum even though the battery was defective. They usually don't cover batteries. So it was a great. But they were nice enough to give me a gift card for the whole amount. Thanks
