Notes:- For digital audio output over any of the USB ports, you'll need to use an adapter/device capable of active digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), compliant with the USB Audio Class (UAC).
- The player does not support 3G/4G USB cellular modems.
Power button
The player's power button is multi-functional - it can be used to restart the player after it has been shut down, but also:
- Briefly press (max 1s) and release it to trigger the On-Screen Display (OSD) showing the player addresses, firmware version, DSOS license type (if any), and other player identification information.
- Double-press it or hold it for 3 seconds to trigger a shutdown of the device.
- You should wait for 10–15 seconds for the player to completely shut down (no video signal is displayed), then you can safely unplug the power supply. To restart the player, briefly press the power button again.
LEDs
The player has the following LEDs on the front side:
- Power LED ⇒ light up solid red when the player is powered and running.
- SSD LED ⇒ blinks green when the internal storage is accessed.
- Two LEDs are integrated within the network connector:
- Left LED shows the network speed by changing its color, as following:
- off ⇒ 10/100 Mbps network
- solid green ⇒ 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) network
- Right LED shows the network activity, as following:
- off ⇒ the link is not present
- solid amber ⇒ the link is present;
- blinks amber ⇒ there is link activity (i.e., network packets);
- Left LED shows the network speed by changing its color, as following:
Enclosure/casing
The enclosure is made of aluminum and SGCC.
Mounting
The player can be mounted using the included standard-system brackets. See the technical drawing above for more details.
- If the mounting surface is itself well ventilated and/or will help with heat dissipation (e.g., a separate bracket of a display mount) then the player can be mounted flush with the surface, but you should monitor the temperature during use.
- If the mounting surface is attached to another heat source (e.g., the back panel of a display) then you should use standoffs to allow air to circulate around the player, and monitor the temperature closely.
- The mounting brackets are attached with four screws, and they can be removed if necessary.
Identification
Each iBX410 player has a unique serial number and a MAC address. Each player has also a device name, set by default to the player serial number, displayed and configurable within the Control Center interface.
A sticker with the serial number, barcode, player model and few other information can be found on the bottom side of each player. This helps to identify the unit and it should not be removed.
Logo and printing
- Situations may arise where labels or transfers may need to be applied to the player. This is generally not recommended by SpinetiX as the heat generation of the device may be affected.
- There is almost no risk of a sticker or label removing the logo printed on the player; the printing process used is a special type which results in ink being protected by the outside layer of aluminum itself.
- Any material affixed to the player must be entirely removable without a trace for the unit to remain within warranty.
Power supply
The external power supply (included) has the following characteristics:
- Model: FSP060-DHAN3
- AC Input: 100-240V~, 1.8A 50-60Hz.
- DC Output: 12V ⎓ 5A 60W
- DC cord: power adapter (w: 11cm) + 120 cm attached cable, lockable power jack
- AC cord: 2x detachable cables of 180 cm for type B and type E/F plugs.
Warranty
SpinetiX offers 3 years of Hardware Limited Warranty for iBX410 products.
- A 5-year warranty extension can be purchased separately.
- The player has a very low probability of failure because its hardware architecture is free of moving parts. There is no official MTFF/MTTF/MTBF calculated; the component with the shortest MTTF is currently the internal storage, however, the high-quality cards used by SpinetiX are certified for at least 5 years of use by the manufacturer.
- The warranty does not apply to the external power supply unit, nor the internal memory medium (storage). See General Terms & Conditions of Sale (Exclusions section) for more details.
