Oppenheimer Powers Alexa Oppenheimer Camera Products has introduced the Alexa OnBoard Mains Power Supply, offering a complete AC power solution for Arri’s Alexa digital camera. The device provides universal world power capability from 90-264volt AC at 50/60Hz. It mounts mechanically (not electrically) to the Gold Mount or V-Mount battery plate; electrically, it provides 28-volt DC power from its outlet to the camera’s two-pin Fischer inlet with a custom cable. If necessary, users can interchange the Power Supply mounting between Gold Mount and V Mount. The system weighs less than 3 pounds and is cooled by a quiet fan. The Power Supply includes four accessory ports, supplying one 14-volt outlet in the Arri-standard two-pin Lemo and three 28volt outlets in the Arri-standard three-pin Fischer. The total capacity of the Power Supply is 250 watts, giving users more than 100 watts of headroom over what the camera (and its own accessory ports) might draw. The system is housed in a custom enclosure that is powder coated for durability. The main components are rated at more than 3 million hours. The Power Supply comes with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. For additional information, visit www.oppenheimercamer aproducts.com.
