13. Using Ronin with external power supplies
14. Using Ronin with Atomos Connect Converters
D-Tap Connector
This adaptor allows you to take the power supply from any source that
has a D-Tap connection such as V-Lock
The D-Tap also connects to the battery slot of the Ronin, please ensure it
is in slot 1. You will need a D-Tap to D-Tap cable (sold separately). Voltages
7.2 to 16.8 volts. Please refer to Atomos D-Tap document on the Atomos
Knowledge Base.
You can think of Atomos Connect Converters as stand-alone devices or
as specially designed modules to give the Ronin additional capabilities.
With them you can:
• Add an HDMI input to the Ronin for connection to
non-HD SDI devices
• Add an HDMI output to the Ronin for playout to HDMI monitors
There is nothing to set up when you use a Connect Converter. Just
secure the device in a battery slot (in Slot 1 if you only have a single
battery) and place the battery that previously occupied that slot in the
battery slot on the converter.
If you are using a Connect H2S to bring an HDMI input to the Ronin,
connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of the Converter, and take a
short HD-SDI cable from the Converter to the Ronin.
As far as the Ronin is concerned, it is receiving a conventional HD SDI
signal, even though your source is HDMI.
To use a S2H converter to connect the Ronin to an HDMI monitor, secure the
device in a battery slot (in Slot 1 if you only have a single battery) and place
the battery that previously occupied that slot in the battery slot on the
converter. Connect the Ronin’s HD SDI Output to the HD SDI input on the
S2H converter.
