DSMC2 Power Modules

NOTE: If a power module is attached to the DSMC2 REDVOLT Expander, the power out connectors on the module are enabled only if power is connected to the module (via DC IN or a battery).

DSMC2 REDVOLT XL Module

The DSMC2 REDVOLT XL Module mounts seamlessly to the back of the camera—and select other I/O expanders—to provide support for long-lasting and rechargeable REDVOLT XL batteries. The DSMC2 REDVOLT XL Module features a smaller, more ergonomic design with one (1) dual-action release button for removing an attached battery.

The DSMC2 REDVOLT XL Module offers a DC IN power port that can be used to power the camera system when the module is attached to the camera. An included protective baseplate enables the DSMC2 REDVOLT XL Module to serve as a portable and stand-alone REDVOLT XL battery charger. Plug in the DSMC AC Power Adaptor to the 6-Pin 1B DC IN connector on the module and connect a REDVOLT XL battery. While the module is mounted to the camera, it will only charge an attached REDVOLT XL battery if the camera is powered off.

Two (2) rear facing auxiliary ports provide power for external camera accessories, while remaining out of the way while shooting.

DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module

The DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module is a low profile cable-free module that enables you to power your DSMC2 BRAIN and camera accessories using RED BRICK, REDVOLT-V, or other standard V-Lock batteries. The V-Lock mount and protected release button ensure ongoing power even during mobile shoots.

This DSMC2 battery module offers a P-Tap connector on top and an auxiliary port on the side for powering peripherals and accessories. Together the P-Tap and auxiliary connectors support a maximum combined current of 3.8 Amps.

This module also offers a DC IN power port that can be used to power the camera system when the module is attached to the BRAIN. When DC IN power is supplied to the module, and the camera is turned off, this module can also trickle charge the attached V-Lock battery.

Manufactured from robust aluminum alloy, this DSMC2 battery module offers a blend of utility and power support in a lightweight and space-saving form factor. The DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module is an ideal power solution for use with most DSMC2 expanders. Alternatively, connect the DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module directly to your DSMC2 BRAIN for a low-profile, battery-only power configuration.

NOTE: This design of the DSMC2 V-Lock Battery Module (720-0052) replaces the earlier version of the module (720-0049), which did not have the AUX OUT and DC IN ports. All other functionality is the same.

DSMC2 Gold Mount Battery Module

The DSMC2 Gold Mount Battery Module is a low profile cable-free module that enables you to power your DSMC2 BRAIN and camera accessories using standard Gold Mount batteries. The Gold Mount and protected release button ensure ongoing power even during mobile shoots.

This DSMC2 battery module offers a P-Tap connector on top and an auxiliary port on the side for powering peripherals and accessories. Together the P-Tap and auxiliary connectors support a maximum combined current of 3.8 Amps.

This module also offers a DC IN power port that can be used to power the camera system when the module is attached to the BRAIN. When DC IN power is supplied to the module, and the camera is turned off, this module can also trickle charge a wide variety of attached Gold Mount batteries.

Manufactured from robust aluminum alloy, this DSMC2 battery module offers a blend of utility and power support in a lightweight and space-saving form factor. The DSMC2 Gold Mount Battery Module is an ideal power solution for use with most DSMC2 expanders. Alternatively, connect the DSMC2 Gold Mount Battery Module directly to your DSMC2 BRAIN for a low-profile, battery-only power configuration.

DSMC2 Production Module

Designed for professional shooting configurations, the DSMC2 Production Module mounts directly to the BRAIN and offers a comprehensive array of video, power, communication, and pro audio connections. RED offers two (2) versions of this module:

• DSMC2 Production Module (V-Lock): Incorporates a V-Lock mount that supports the RED BRICK, REDVOLT-V, or other standard v-lock batteries.
• DSMC2 Production Module (Gold Mount): Incorporates a gold mount battery plate that supports standard gold mount batteries.

Aside from the battery plates, the two (2) versions of the DSMC2 Production Module are identical.

The DSMC2 Production Module is constructed from lightweight and durable aluminum alloy. The module includes three (3) BNC video connectors for maximum monitoring flexibility on-set. Two (2) connectors output a cloned 3G-SDI signal, and one (1) connector serves as an independent monitoring output.

To support production demands for on-board monitors, wireless video transmitters, wireless lens control, and focus assist systems, the module includes multiple auxiliary power outputs:

• Two (2) front-facing 3-Pin Fischer R/S ports support Remote Start/Stop functionality, and provide 24V power out up to a combined 2.5 Amps.
• A front-facing 2-Pin 0B AUX PWR port provides power out up to 3.0 Amps.
• A 2-Pin P-Tap connector on the top provides power out up to 3.0 Amps.
• A rear-facing USB 2.0 port with support for fast charging offers 5V at 1.5 Amps for powering small mobile devices.

Two (2) standard XLR connections are included for most professional audio needs. Each XLR input features a 3-position selector switch to designate the incoming audio signal type: Balanced Line Level, Balanced Mic Level, and Balanced Mic with +48V phantom power. Additionally, a 3.5mm line-level headphone jack allows users to monitor audio during takes and in playback mode.

The module features ports for power in (DC IN), Genlock (BNC), 5-Pin 0B Timecode port, GIG-E, and CTRL.

The module also features a selector switch that enables the BRAIN to automatically boot when power is provided via the DC IN connector on the module. This feature allows operators to use a connected DC input supply to turn the BRAIN on and off when the camera is mounted in remote or difficult to maneuver locations.

NOTE: The battery plate on the DSMC2 Production Module is always enabled, regardless of the Auto Boot on Power switch position.

NOTE: Only one (1) module can be used at a time.
