MID49 DB-8 Power Distribution Box Sony Burano & Venice – GM

OVERVIEW
The Power Distribution Box DB-8 (Sony Burano, Gold Mount) is a versatile accessory that can be attached directly to the back of a camera body using the V-Mount interface. It provides intelligent power distribution with various connectors such as D-Taps, 5V USB-C PD, 3pin Fischers, and 2pin LEMO. The DB-8 also comes with a removable LANC cable that enables remote start/stop capability when used with 3pin Fischer devices. Additionally, when using communicative batteries, data is converted to SMBus and sent to the camera, allowing for percentage data to be displayed on the monitor.

One of the most convenient features of the DB-8 is its hot swap capability. This means that users can switch between an onboard battery and a 4pin XLR DC INPUT without losing power to the camera or any attached accessories. When both sources are connected, the DC INPUT takes priority until it reaches 12.5V, at which point the DB-8 will automatically switch to the onboard battery. The DB-8 also has a SMART FUSE design that monitors camera power and allocates the remaining power budget to accessories. In case of a short circuit, the system will immediately shut down and can only be turned back on once the issue has been resolved. The DB-8 is compatible with Sony Venice and Venice 2 cameras and can even provide start/stop capability with the included adapter cable.

About The MID49 DB-8 Power Distribution Box Sony Burano & Venice – GM
Power Distribution Box DB-8 (Sony Burano, Gold Mount) attaches directly to the back of the camera body using the V-Mount interface to provide intelligent power distribution with D-Taps, 5V USB-C PD, 3pin Fischers, and 2pin LEMO compatible connectors. Removable LANC cable enables remote start/stop capability using 3pin Fischer devices. When using communicative batteries, data is converted to SMBus and sent to the camera enabling percentage data on the monitor.

Hot swap between onboard battery and 4pin XLR DC INPUT without losing camera or accessory power. When both sources are connected, the DC INPUT takes priority down to 12.5V at which point, the DB-8 will switch to an onboard battery.

With the SMART FUSE design, camera power is monitored and the remaining power budget is allocated to accessories. For example, the Burano uses approximately 2.8A at 14V so when using a 10A capable battery, the remaining 6.2A is allocated for accessory use. If an accessory configuration exceeds the 6.2A limit, accessory power is cut off, leaving the camera powered. The “SMART FUSE” LED will illuminate showing the error and once the configuration has been adjusted to lower than 6.2A, the RESET button can be pressed and power will be re-enabled to accessory outputs.

In the event of a complete short circuit, the system will immediately shut down and can only be turned back on once the short circuit has been removed.

The DB-8 is also compatible with Sony Venice and Venice 2 and start / stop capability can be added using the included adapter cable.
