Product Highlights
- To Power Sony XDCAM EX Cameras with Proprietary Sony 12V DC Jack from Standard 4-Pin XLR Battery Packs or AC Adapters
The Vortex Media EXDC1 4-Pin XLR Male to Sony 12V DC Adapter Power Cable allows you to power the latest professional Sony 12V video equipment sporting the non-standard 12V DC jack (e.g. XDCAM EX series, PMW-EX30 SxS recording deck, SBAC-US10 SxS drive, PDW-U1 XDCAM HD optical disk drive) from standard 4-pin XLR battery packs or AC adapters. This makes it compatible with almost any professional 12V power supply.
Note! Power source must meet the required specifications for your camera. This cable does not provide any voltage regulation.

Comments about Vortex Media EXDC1 4-Pin XLR Male to Sony 12V DC Plug Adapter Power Cable - 6' Coiled:
Purchased 6 to do a studio configuration with my PMW-EX3's. Allowed me to use our existing DC supplies from previous broadcast cameras and reserve the stock Sony PSU's to just charge batteries. Would have liked to seen a Neutrik XLR, but no big issue with supplied.

Comments about Vortex Media EXDC1 4-Pin XLR Male to Sony 12V DC Plug Adapter Power Cable - 6' Coiled:
This cable allows me to use my current supply of anton bauer batteries. These power the ex-1 for a long period of time. I can also use another power supply to keep shooting, and use the sony as a charger for the little battery. Very high quality construction. Vortex media puts out high quality items.

Comments about Vortex Media EXDC1 4-Pin XLR Male to Sony 12V DC Plug Adapter Power Cable - 6' Coiled:
If you currently own either of Sony's EX series cameras then this item is almost a requirement. It allows you to bypass the use of the camera's exclusive batteries, and get hours of runtime using a rechargeable belt or battery pack equipped with a 4 pin XLR adapter
Pros
- Improves Performance
Cons
- Construction too rigid

Comments about Vortex Media EXDC1 4-Pin XLR Male to Sony 12V DC Plug Adapter Power Cable - 6' Coiled:
The cable functions as described however I don't like the quality of the cable. The jacket is very rigid and the taught effect of this non-supple cable puts additional strain on the semi-pro power jack that is used on the EX-3. You better have the connector strain relieved at the camera if you get any where near stretching the coiled part of the power cable.
