HDX Power Supply

The HDX Power Supply unit is required when using the PowerPlus Camera Adaptor. The
HDX can be used as a free-standing unit or rack mounted, using the HDX-FR-2 for mounting
one or two HDX units.

The HDX unit sends power via a SMPTE hybrid fiber cable to the PowerPlus, where it
is converted to 12VDC and optionally to 24VDC). See
