@@CreativePathFilms ahh ok thanks for the reply! For studio photography then to use the HDMI function (+front and back ports) while keeping the hub and laptop powered what solution do you propose? I couldn't really make out from the video..(PS: I also subscribed to the channel, good stuff!)
@nong78 thanks for subscribing! Glad you enjoy the content. To use the hdmi as well as the front and back ports, you need to 1. Enable “HDMI only” in the menu 2. plug in both USB-C port 1 and port 4 to the laptop with two different USB-C cables. 3. Plug in the HDMI cord and any Additonal USB accessories you need. Note you cannot pass-through charge (charge the omnicharge) with this setup.
@@CreativePathFilms Thanks for clarifying! When the hub runs out of juice, since I won't be able to use the DC port, would u recommend to power the laptop separately using the apple charger so we can still use the hub and have the data on both ports still pass thru and running?
@@nong78 Bro to keep it simple- if you want to use BOTH the front and back hubs simultaneously you CANNOT use any charge functions of the Omni period (including pass-through)…to use pass-through charging you’d have to limit your use to one hub at a time (either front or back)…connecting your laptop to power while utilizing both hubs does not power the Omni, so when the Omni battery eventually depletes you’ll have to discontinue use of both hubs and charge the Omni
Hi, this video is amazing thanks for the tips! Are u able to connect the DC power and use both the front and back of the hub simultaneously?
Thank you!
Unfortunately not, the DC port and rear hub share a power circuit, so can’t be used at the same time.
