IDX Has The Power!

(AC Power Supplies and Batteries!)

While batteries provide crucial portability for on-the-go shooting, AC power supplies remain indispensable in many professional filmmaking environments. Our IA Series includes the IA-70A, IA-200A, and the IA-300A and the all-new IA-300HV. The IA-70a is a single output 70W AC power supply adapter with one (1) 4-pin XLR power output channel. The IA-200a is a dual-output 100W AC power supply adapter with two (2) 4-pin XLR power output channels or 100W from a single channel. The IA-300a is a three-output 210W AC power supply adapter with three (3) 4-pin XLR power output channels. The all-new IA-300HV is a DC 28V 3-pin XLR output power supply with up to 300W which is designed for high-voltage applications such as ARRI ALEXA35. They ensure a steady, reliable flow of power for extended shoots in controlled studio settings or when access to consistent electricity is available.

Here’s why AC power supplies are essential in cinema and filmmaking:

• Unlimited Power for Long Shoots: Unlike batteries that eventually run out, AC power supplies provide continuous power, allowing you to run cameras, monitors, lighting, and other essential equipment for as long as needed without interruptions.
• Cost Efficiency: When working on long studio shoots or within locations with access to electrical outlets, using AC power can reduce the costs associated with replacing and charging multiple batteries.
• Stable Voltage: AC power supplies offer a consistent and stable voltage output, ensuring sensitive equipment, such as digital cinema cameras and high-end lighting systems, operate smoothly without power fluctuations that could cause performance issues or damage.
• Reduced Downtime: Since there’s no need to pause production to swap out or recharge batteries, AC power supplies keep workflows efficient, particularly during long takes or time-sensitive shoots.
• Ideal for Studio Setups: In controlled environments where mobility isn't a major factor, such as interviews, green screen work, or product shoots, AC power supplies are the perfect solution for powering high-draw equipment without interruptions.

In a world where both mobility and stability are key, AC power supplies are a reliable partner, offering consistency that filmmakers can trust for both high-energy and meticulous projects.
