Datavideo DDC-2512

The DDC-2512 is a DC to DC voltage regulator that takes an unstable input and hands your camera or accessory a clean, steady 12 volts. It automatically accepts anything from 9 to 30V DC on the input, so a sagging battery, a V-mount block, or a vehicle supply all become a dependable regulated rail.

The output holds 12V DC at up to 2.5A with under 400mV of noise and up to 85 percent efficiency, enough headroom to run a third-party camera or small AV device on set. Input and output both use locking 4-pin XLR connectors, the standard for pro power distribution, so it drops straight into a Datavideo power chain feeding a PD-series distributor.
