lights up blue.

 

NOTES:

The source device provides the +5 VDC supply voltage needed to illuminate the Share button. This is standard for both analog (VGA) and digital source devices. If the source device does not supply this +5 VDC, the Share button will not illuminate. Some mobile devices do not provide the required voltage to light up the button.

Digital “Show Me” cables support embedded audio and CEC signals. The VGA “Show Me” cable does not support audio.
