Power over USB
In accordance with the applicable USB power specifications:
- The USB 3.x ports on the iBX410, iBX410W, iBX440, HMP400, and HMP400W supply up to 900 mA at 5 V ⇒ 4.5 W.
- The USB 2.0 port on the iBX440, as well as the USB ports on the other player models, supply up to 500 mA at 5 V ⇒ 2.5 W.
If a connected device draws more than the supported current, the USB port is disabled to protect the player.
Note:Hard disks and other devices that use a double-USB connector for increased power cannot be used with the player (even with a hub) without external power.
Notes
- Video input via the USB port is supported on HMP400/W and iBX players with the WIDGETS Feature Set (or higher). For other player models, consider video streaming over Ethernet.
- Multiple USB devices can be connected through a USB hub to the player at the same time, but only one USB storage device can be used as external storage.
- The USB ports on the player cannot be disabled. However, connecting a USB storage device does not alter the displayed content unless the player has been configured to use that device as a content source. For physical protection against unauthorized access, consider using a USB port blocker, such as those available from Lindy.
- USB cellular modems are supported only on the HMP200, HMP130, and HMP100. They are not supported on newer player models. See USB cellular modem for details.
- On the HMP200, HMP130, and HMP100, the USB port is limited to three endpoints; a USB device may use more than one endpoint. A larger number of USB devices can be supported through software emulation by enabling Support large number of USB devices under HMP Control Center > I/O Automation > USB Settings. When mixing full-speed or low-speed devices with high-speed hubs, disable this option for compatibility.
