SPARK POWER IO (PRE-ORDER)

SPARK POWER IO (PRE-ORDER)

This is a pre-order for our upcoming Spark Power IO for Pixboom Spark High-Speed cameras.  Spark Power IO will start shipping late December / early January.  The camera starts shipping 2026/Q1 around late Jan / Feb. Available in V-mount or Gold-mount and the battery plate is interchangeable between the two. 

Spark Power IO for the Pixboom Spark is very lightweight, compact, and built with plenty of IO ports and power outputs. We based out Spark Power IO on our extremely popular KX-IO for Red Komodo X and Raptor, which has been adopted worldwide by the largest rental houses and used on some the biggest feature films.  Our housing is made with the same durable high-impact multi-jet fusion (MJF) polymer that our famous battery mounting products are well known for. Designed, assembled, tested, and supported in the USA by us

SPARK Power IO features:
Record button built-in
Tally light built-in (red led). 

User-interchangeable V-mount or Gold-mount plates. 


2x Unregulated 2pin 0B power connectors (The one on the Battery plate is not fused and the 2 on the main body are fused at 6amp total)


1x Fischer 3 R/S with power (11-16.4v and 6amp total)


1x 9pin 0B EXT accessory passthrough port

1x 5pin 0B Time-Code / Genlock combo port (Ambient Style) 


1x BNC Genlock 


1x 4pin 00B UART/GPO port (for future expansion/ communications)

1x 6pin 1B DC input/battery hot-swap port (D-taps and 2pin on battery plate are powered with DC input)


6 Amp total resettable digital fuse with red LED indicator(2x 2pin 0B and Fischer 3)


Anti-battery drain switch so you can leave your battery and accessories connected without draining the battery between company moves, etc.


9pin accessory built-in cable for connection to the Spark camera.
 (note the picture is the prototype.  The 9pin cable will be longer to fit)

SMBUS battery information when used with batteries that pass SMBUS data (on V-mount only).

V-Mount Battery Plate Features: 2x D-Tap power ports, offset directions, unregulated (not part of the fuse amp limit) with shorter positive pins so ground always connects first. It also has 1x unregulated 2pin 0B power port.


Gold Mount Battery Plate Features: 1x unregulated D-Tap power port (not part of the fuse amp limit) with a shorter positive pin so ground always connects first. It also has 1x unregulated 2pin 0B power port.

IMPORTANT NOTES: 
1) We recommend using 12A batteries with SPARK Power IO to maximize power delivery to the power ports and camera.

2) We do not recommend the use of a shark fin with Spark Power IO due to the amount of leverage you are putting on the v-lock on the camera. This can lead to damage if not supported properly from underneath or when using long or extremely heavy batteries
