External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
Where can I buy an external power supply for HD OMNI Thunderbolt HD?
I want to use HD Omni Thunderbolt with adaptor to USB-C Thunderbolt 3. It is a bus-powered adaptor but I'd feel much safer using an external power source. Mine didn't come with a power cable for some reason, where can I buy just the external power by itself for the HD OMNI TB Core unit?

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
They run OK off Thunderbolt 2 bus power and Thunderbolt 3 power delivery is relatively over engineered, I would just run it off the Thunderbolt 3 bus power.

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
Thanks for the info. I guess it would work on TB3 then.
Just in case though, I reached out to a reseller and I was told that AVID HD OMNI uses these specs (correct me if I'm wrong). 12V 1.0A DC 5.5MM - 2.5MM So I think this would work? https://www.amazon.com/T-Power-12V-1...+5.5mm+-+2.5mm

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
What does not work? Is the Omni connected over Digilnk (it won't work without that)? What exact symptoms?
On what exact make/model computer? If Mac what model number or date code (Hopefully a recent MacBook Pro or similar. Not a MacPro (USB only not Thunderbolt 3) or PC (likely not Thunderbolt 3)) You have a Digilink (if Pro Tools HD >= 12.6) and Pro Tool HD license assets on an attached iLok 2 or 3? Do you know the HD native box works on a Thunderbolt 2 computer? Why are you not using a Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter? |

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
HD native thunderbolt box works for sure on a thunderbolt 2 system.
Using USB-C Thunderbolt 3 it doesn't work. I'm not sure why. It might be a problem with the TB3-TB2 T3T adapter. Are you saying that TB3 and USB-C though they are exactly the same size aren't the same? I talked to an Apple representative who told me that they were in fact the same. For the record it's windows machine with USB-C 3.0. I'll try it with the apple one and see if that works.

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
It is what exact Windows PC? Motherboard etc.
USB-C is *not* Thunderbolt. It's a physical connector standard that can carry Thunderbolt 3, USB and various video standards. On most PC's it will only be carrying USB 3/3.1 Gen 1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2, it might even only be USB 2 (esp. for portable/mobile devices). You need to know that the motherboard or a special plug in PCIe card (specific to that motherboard) is providing Thunderbolt 3 though that connector. So again what exact PC/motherboard or plug in thunderbolt card do you have? Quote:

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
Uh oh, I have a bad feeling... on a PC your best bet may be picking up a used HD Native PCIe card, or if you just need a Omni class interface just using an ASIO interface.

Re: External Power Supply HD Omni Thunderbolt Core
Can I just check something?
The OMNI does not receive power except through an IEC (kettle) lead input. You have that connected right? |
