:
DisplayPort input ports are capable of providing about 1.5 W (500 mA @ 3.3V) power
on the DP_PWR pin. As in DisplayPort copper cables this pin is not connected, the setting has no
effect when a PC or a media player is attached to the respective port. Typically, this feature can be
used for powering DisplayPort dongles, adapters and active optical cables that do not have external
power supplies. The matrix is also capable of detecting and displaying short circuit conditions where
the current exceeds the 500 mA limit. Adjusting these settings may help restarting or powering down
the connected device.
