Multiply by 2. Easy, huh.

The real answer involve step-up transformers. Outta my league.

How much current do you need?.. that's going to determine what you can do..

Do you want 24v into 12v... or 12v into 24v?..

Sounds like the bus runs 24v, and you want 12v for AV stuff?..

Are you sure the bus is 24v?

More than likely there is a battery bank producing the 24vdc.. if you can balance the load you could draw right off the batteries. 24v to 12v stepdown converters are also commonly available..
