13. Using Samurai with external power supplies

14. Using Samurai with Atomos Connect Converters

D-Tap Connector

This adaptor allows you to take the power supply from any source that

has a D-Tap connection such as V-Lock

The D-Tap also connects to the battery slot of the Samurai, please ensure

it is in slot 1. There will be a D-Tap to D-Tap cable. Voltages up to 20.0V.

AC Adaptor (not included)

Available from your reseller as an optional accessory, this connects on

the battery slot on the back of the Samurai. Please ensure it is connected

to slot 1. The end of the adaptor will connect to a mains plug.

Alternatively you can use any NP-Compatible Charger or power supply,

as long as they use a “Dummy Battery”.

You can think of Atomos Connect Converters as stand-alone devices

or as specially designed modules to give the Samurai additional

capabilities. With them you can:

• Add an HDMI input to the Samurai for connection to

non-HD SDI devices

• Add an HDMI output to the Samurai for playout to HDMI monitors

There is nothing to set up when you use a Connect Converter. Just

secure the device in a battery slot (in Slot 1 if you only have a single

battery) and place the battery that previously occupied that slot in the

battery slot on the converter.

If you are using a Connect H2S to bring an HDMI intput to the Samurai,

connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI input of the Converter, and take a

short HD-SDI cable from the Converter to the BNC>Mini BNC adaptor

cable connected to the Samurai.

As far as the Samurai is concerned, it is receiving a conventional HD SDI

signal, even though your source is HDMI.

To use a S2H converter to connect the Samurai to an HDMI monitor, secure

the device in a battery slot (in Slot 1 if you only have a single battery) and

place the battery that previously occupied that slot in the battery slot

on the converter. Connect the Samurai’s HD SDI Output (via the Mini

BNC>BNC adaptor cable) to the HD SDI input on the S2H converter.
