These camera's are picky in that they need 8.7V through a propriety connector. There is an adapter cable-tied to each camera to allow the use of 4-pin XLR to provide power. However, care must be taken to avoid plugging a 12V supply into the camera's. Doing this turns the camera into a 'tape muncher', among other problems. | These camera's are picky in that they need 8.7V through a propriety connector.

In February 2014, new [[power standards#XLR-4 (4-core)|power standards]] were introduced to combat this issue. The camera power supplies have been modified such that 8.4V and 12V are provided on different pins, hopefully preventing any more accidents. | |||
