New MUTINY Spark Power IO

MUTINY has developed our first PixBoom Spark product.  The Spark Power IO is a SPARK POWER IO (PRE-ORDER) - MUTINY

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.

Looks pretty much like what I would have expected from you over there at Mutiny! Lots of I/O and the ability to use gold mount batteries; just what I wanted!

Truly impressive! The development speed and efficiency of the team are remarkable—looking forward to seeing more innovative results!

As a rental house owner, I can attest to Mutiny’s build quality and attention to detail. We’ve had a number of their previous products in use for years with no failures. Mike and his team make first rate products and their customer support is top notch too. We’ll be getting one of these for our Spark. 

Update:  MUTINY Spark Power IO units will start shipping in January in the order taken.  The queue is getting filed so get your order in sooner than later.
