The RED battery should power RED camera, AJA box, focus motor and RED LCD. through the RED battery....

i power always assecoires with batteries, but this time the assecoires have to be powered through the battery.....(production doesnt want powering through the aux ports)

so what is the saftiest/best way to do this?
or how to power several assecoires through the d-tap?
it is possible that another item has to be powered.

At IBC we're just introducing a power break-out box for the RED. You can power 3 accessories from it and it has it's own on/off switch for accessories.

Anton Bauer makes D-tap splitters that make one D-tap into 4. Just get D-tap cables for all of your gear and you'll be fine. Battery life may be another question, however.

Many rental houses have built their own power boxes for Red accessories. Sim's is quite useful.

I'm at home now so this is not a formal quote or anything, but I know that the Anton Bauer P-Tap splitter (it has four outputs) is very inexpensive. Somewhere between $50-$100 I think.

Is this available already ?
