Product Overview +
The Central Nervous System of Your Studio Power
The Datavideo PD-2A is a professional-grade 1RU power distribution center designed to be the backbone of your broadcast rack. By providing a centralized, stable 400W power source, it eliminates the need for individual power bricks for every piece of gear. Whether you are powering a Datavideo SE-series switcher, an HDR recorder, or an ITC intercom system, the PD-2A ensures every device receives the precise voltage it needs for 24/7 reliability.
Intelligent Startup and Circuit Protection
Protecting your investment is a core function of the PD-2A. It features an intelligent "Sequential Power-On" stage, which initiates each DC terminal with a one-second delay. This prevent a massive simultaneous power draw that could trip breakers or damage sensitive internal components. Furthermore, each output is shielded by an auto-recovering fuse; if a single device shorts, only that terminal is affected, and the fuse resets itself once the issue is cleared.
Advanced Redundancy and UPS Support
In the world of live production, power loss is a catastrophic event. The PD-2A is engineered for "mission-critical" environments with its auto-switchable input design. It can seamlessly transition between standard 110/120VAC wall power and a 12VDC UPS or battery source. This ensures that your production stays live even if the building’s primary power grid fails, giving you the time needed to safely finish a broadcast or switch to generator power.
Clean Integration for Mobile and Fixed Sets
Cable management is not just about aesthetics; it is about safety and troubleshooting. The PD-2A consolidates your power distribution into a single 1RU space, significantly reducing the "nest" of cables at the back of your rack. With a variety of terminal ratings—from 3A for smaller monitors to 10A for high-draw processors—it provides the flexibility to power a diverse range of 12VDC professional video equipment in both OB vans and permanent studio installations.
