BDS output -> delay power on

[osa]

Curious if there is an easy diy solution to delay powering a device from bds with an adjustable time. When i power on my kit, camera link tc starts at zero, jams, but bu files stay at zero. Talked to howy about this and i believe a fix is in the works. Just looking to power camera link to power on 5sec or so after mixer

Manually power this unit on 5 sec later …?

 

I understand you prefer one button to rule them all, but….

 

For example,

 I always switch the 833 off manually, since otherwise it would simply keep running on the backup battery in the back of the unit, until that’s depleted.

Ha! I know right it seems so obvious but number one - I’ve been burned a couple times not turning it on in a hurry, but then number two I get burned when I actually could use that back up with Timecode properly and i forget that i didnt do the manual power sequence - like yesterday. 
 

i own a furman rack power unit that does exactly this 3x levels of power delayed in sequence. Until howy comes thru - there has got to be a better way! Hoping for something clever diy

You can get little intermediary relay modules that will do this. Something like this.

It will take some fiddling to set up though and I haven't checked that all specs are appropriate for your use case.

Thank you this is great. I will check into it.
