Fail-Safe Power for Live Productions

The Datavideo PD-4A is a professional-grade power distribution center engineered for one purpose: zero-fail operation. In the high-stakes world of live broadcasting, a single power surge or equipment failure can end a show. The PD-4A mitigates this risk by incorporating a fully redundant power supply system. If the main power module encounters an issue, the second internal supply seamlessly maintains the load, ensuring your switcher, recorders, and monitors stay powered without a flicker.

Triple-Layer Redundancy Architecture

Reliability in the PD-4A goes beyond its dual internal modules. The unit features two independent AC inputs, allowing you to draw power from two different electrical circuits (such as a wall outlet and a generator). For the ultimate "Plan C," a third DC input is provided for battery backup. This triple-layer protection makes the PD-4A the backbone of any mission-critical control room or OB van where the "show must go on."

Streamlined Studio Integration

Tangled cables and bulky power strips are a liability on a busy set. The PD-4A simplifies your signal chain by acting as a central hub for all 12VDC devices. By providing eight dedicated DC outputs, it allows you to power your entire Datavideo SE-series switcher kit, HDR recorders, and TLM monitors from a single rackmount unit. This not only cleans up your workspace but also ensures that all devices are receiving consistent, regulated voltage for optimal performance.

Professional Build for the Field and Studio

Built into a rugged 1U 19-inch metal chassis, the PD-4A is ready for life on the road or permanent installation. It is the perfect companion for Datavideo's MS and OBV mobile studio series, providing the same level of electrical security found in top-tier television networks. With its clear status indicators and robust connectors, the PD-4A is a "set-and-forget" investment that protects your high-value broadcast equipment from the unpredictability of field power.
