UPS for Media & Broadcast Applications
In broadcasting, even a momentary power disruption can mean costly downtime, signal loss, or compromised audio/video quality. Xtreme Power UPS solutions are purpose-built for media studios, control rooms, and transmitter sites — delivering clean, continuous, high-quality power that keeps your broadcasts live without interruption.
Why broadcasters need specialized UPS systems
Broadcast equipment is particularly vulnerable to power fluctuations, which makes a purpose-built broadcast UPS essential.
Protects cameras, mixers, servers, and transmitters from surges, sags, and brownouts.
Eliminates dirty power, harmonics, and EMI/RFI noise that interferes with sensitive signals.
Seamless power transfer keeps programming live during outages while generators start.
Add external battery cabinets for extended coverage during long-duration broadcasts.
Network cards let engineers monitor power health from anywhere.
Critical for in-studio use where background noise can’t disrupt recordings.
UPS systems for broadcast applications
Compact 1U, online double-conversion UPS delivering clean sine-wave output. Ideal for in-studio racks and editing suites.
Lightweight 2U lithium-ion UPS with longer battery life and reduced maintenance — perfect for mobile and field broadcast units.
Clean power for control rooms, editing suites, and transmitters.
High-efficiency, compact online UPS for larger-capacity requirements.
50 or 70 kW of 480V protection with batteries and maintenance bypass inside a single cabinet. At 58″ tall it clears low ceilings, service elevators and door headers, and has been built into containers for mobile deployments — suited to broadcast command centers and remote transmitter sites where floor space and headroom are both tight.
The same 50–70 kW of 480V protection rack-integrated in 13U, with output distribution built in, for facilities standardizing on rack-level power rather than a central plant. Not yet shipping — contact us for availability.
Scales the same integrated architecture to 140 kW for full facility protection at master control and transmitter scale.
Scalable modular UPS for studios and master control rooms requiring flexible capacity.
Lithium-ion, high-efficiency three-phase UPS with a reduced footprint and lighter weight.

Broadcast UPS — frequently asked questions
Why do broadcast facilities need specialized UPS protection?
What UPS suits a mobile or containerized broadcast unit?
Height and footprint decide it more than capacity. At the rack level the P91 Lithium is light enough for a truck and needs no ventilated battery compartment. At facility scale the X90-1S puts 50 or 70 kW into a cabinet 58″ tall and 23.6″ wide with batteries and bypass inside, about 17″ shorter than the 75″ cabinets typical at this capacity, which is what makes it viable in a container or under a low ceiling. Both are front-access only, so neither needs rear clearance.
