off and cannot be changed to another power source. Unplug the DC cable from the device to
be powered by USB or HDMI.)
 The USB and HDMI powering modes can be enabled/disabled via LDC software.
 If you are not sure that your USB or HDMI port has enough power, disable the
powering over USB and HDMI by Lightware Device Controller software. If the supplied
power over USB or HDMI is not enough the device will switch off. In the case of any
strange behavior of the device, please disconnect the USB and HDMi cables and
connect the 5V DC adaptor.
