16.2.1 CCH-2

16.3 ALEXA M Camera Body

Due to the fibre connection, the ALEXA M has an increased power draw
of approximately 120W, with the head drawing 40W. The head can be
powered from the body with hybrid fibre cables of up to 30m length.
Note: When powering the head from the body, power supplies with at least 24V
output must be used, due to the voltage drop over the hybrid cable.
The head can also be powered directly through its BAT connector, if the
battery delivers at least 40W of power.
The Camera Center Handle 2 CCH-2 is the handle for the ALEXA M
camera head. It is mounted with 4x 3mm allen screws and can be
attached either to the top or the bottom of the camera head.

Note: The CCH-2 only fits the ALEXA M camera head and not the ALEXA M
body or any other ALEXA camera.
The ALEXA M camera body contains the main controls, image
processing, output and recording. It behaves like any regular ALEXA,
only that it lacks the operator controls and is slightly longer.
