Using CineLive tally connector as power source for SmallHD monitor

12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • A 4-pin lemo connector with 12 volt output can potentially power a SmallHD DP7 Pro OLED monitor if wired correctly
  • Standard 4-pin lemo connectors on cinema rigs typically have ground on pin 1, 12 volt on pin 2, and other functions on pins 3 and 4
  • Checking the actual wiring of a cable with a multimeter before connecting it to expensive equipment is the recommended safety practice
  • The upper junction tally output on a sled provides 12 volt power

Depends on

  • This discussion concerns specific equipment models from around 2014 and may not apply to current versions
  • No confirmation was provided that this power connection actually worked successfully
  • The monitor model mentioned does not have a dedicated tally input, limiting full integration with tally systems
