ALEXA Mini power draw

[jimdenault]

Has anyone figured out the power draw for the Mini? I can't seem to find the information in the documentation.

Thanks,

Dear Jim,

of course we have taken measurements...

@24fps with MVF-1: 50W
@24fps w/o MVF-1: 45W

@50fps with MVF-1: 55W
@100fps with MVF-1: 60W
@200fps with MVF-1: 75W

Please keep in mind these have been taken under lab-conditions. In extreme weathers the power-draw will be higher.

Best,
Jan

Thanks, Jan.

Is it pretty safe to assume the MVF-1 draws about 5W regardless of frame rate?

[Jan Heugel]

Hey Jim,

I'd go with that number, yes.

Regards,
Jan

from my understanding 3.2k and UHD both draw 75w power?

[Jan Heugel]

Well... since the sensor is not running at 200fps at that time I'd assume something around 55W (factoring in we're writing at a high datarate at with MXF/ARRIRAW).

Best,
Jan
