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
two HDX units.
The unit sends power via a SMPTE hybrid fiber cable to the PowerPlus, where it is converted
to 12VDC and optionally to 24VDC). For details on connecting the HDX to a CopperHead
system, see @
PowerPlus - High Power/Long Distance with HDX Power Supply on page 9 .
