Plugging in Power
Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus and the Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro have 12V locking
power connectors. After plugging in the connector, secure it to the camera by tightening the
locking ring.
The 4 pin XLR connector lets you plug in broadcast style power supplies like the URSA 12V
power adapter. When both power connectors are being used, the 4 pin XLR input provides
redundancy with the small locking connector providing primary power.
On Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro, both power inputs can be connected simultaneously for redundancy
TIP
Blackmagic Studio Cameras have power inputs that are rated for a voltage range
of 12-18V so you can use standard 14V batteries or 14V block batteries. You can
connect these batteries to your camera using either the small barrel connector or the
large 4-pin XLR input on Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro.
Turning Your Camera On
Switch the power button to the 'ON' position. The live camera image will appear on the
touchscreen and buttons will illuminate. To turn the camera off, set the switch to the 'OFF' position.
