Chapter 3 - General set-up
3.1.2 External power
DC input supply
To power the camcorder from a external power supply, apply a power source of 15 VDC
nominal to the DC input connector at the rear of the camcorder.
Caution
The input voltage must not exceed 17 VDC and the external power supply must not supply
more than 8 A or 100 W. The use of the Grass valley LDK 5901 External power supply is
recommended.
A low power message appears in the viewfinder when the external voltage drops below the
level set in the viewfinder SYSTEM/POWER menu.
The camcorder switches off automatically if the supply voltage falls below 10.0 VDC. To start
the camcorder again, first disconnect the supply source(s) that fell below this level. The
camcorder will start up when the supplied voltage level is at least 10.7 VDC.
Caution
Only connect an external battery pack (for example a battery belt) to the DC input connector
when the battery pack is protected against reverse current.
DC output connector
The DC output connector provides a supply voltage of 12 VDC typical supplied by the battery or
by the DC input connector. An automatic circuit limits the current that can be supplied from
this connector to 1.0 A.
