Power Management
When using the PWR connector and an onboard battery adapter simultaneously, the camera’s power
management system ensures that the power source with the highest voltage level is used. When the
voltage level of one power source drops below the level of the other, or a power source is disconnected
from the camera, the power management system automatically switches to the other power source,
avoiding shutdown of the camera.
The camera supports to prioritize which power source (PWR or BAT) should be used primarily and
which one should serve as backup. Available choices are "Highest Voltage" (default), "PWR (power in)",
or "BAT (on-board battery)".

Viewfinder Connection
The camera is equipped with two custom CoaXPress viewfinder connectors, one located at the camera
front (labelled VF 1) and one on the camera rear (right side, labelled VF 2).
The Multi Viewfinder MVF-2 is connected to the camera using a custom CoaXPress cable. The cable
center pin and shield transport power, video, audio and data and the CoaXPress interface allows for hot
plugging the viewfinder. Since the VF connectors have no key, the viewfinder cable can be connected in
any orientation.
