The HDMI connection provides 5V power.
- palebluedot 13y agoI believe that is only true for MHL HDMI. They likely use USB power so that it can be used on any HDMI port, not just MHL-enabled ports.
- rogerchucker 13y agoI don't know what MHL HDMI is. How do I verify if I have one? My TV is 2009 Sony Bravia and it transmits audio (since I can use Apple TV).
- signed0 13y agoI would guess that you don't have it. The Roku Streaming Stick uses MHL and it only lists a handful of compatible TVs. http://www.roku.com/streamingstick#roku-ready http://www.roku.com/streamingstick#roku-ready
- yellowbkpk 13y agoHDMI does provide power [0], but a very small amount (elsewhere on this thread someone said 50mA). MHL provides more. [0] http://www.hdmi.org/installers/insidehdmicable.aspx http://www.hdmi.org/installers/insidehdmicable.aspx
