ARRI Codex Compact Drive Dock Reviews

Best Single Reader (for now)

Much better and much faster than the small plastic $700 bus-powered reader. This TB3 dock is the real deal. Also works great on older TB2 Macs with a TB3 = TB2 adapter. Remember to setup your Codex preferences to download as arx files. You should buy two.

How is this powered? What input on the back of the unit, and what cable? Is there an AC adapter, etc.? Thanks
Asked by: noah
Hi Chris, I know that it is external power and I know it is included. I need to know how it connects and what components exactly make up the power source. Is it, for example, USB-C 100W input with cable, or is it a regular 3 prong power cable, is there an AC adapter? Pictures would be ideal. Thanks
