I amconfused by table 2-Skyview System Power Requirements. It shows the SV-XPNDR, ADSB-470 drawing current (.4A and .2A respectively) from the display, yet both of the devices have power directly from the aircraft master power like the autopilot servos which per the text above the table use only aircraft master power. So I guess the question is why do the transponder and ADS draw noticable current from the display?

They don't. Thanks for pointing out the lack of clarity there. The lead-in paragraph for that table should really say something like:

"The first two rows of the table below account for the power that a SkyView display consumes while powering itself and its attached SkyView Network modules. It does not account for SkyView autopilot servo power and other devices that are listed individually because they are powered directly from aircraft master power."
