Dolby IMS3000 Userʼs Manual

2.14 USB ports
The Dolby IMS3000 front panel has three USB ports that can accommodate an external USB
device, such as the CaptiView Transmitter, or a USB external drive for content ingestion.
The Dolby IMS3000 supports USB 3.0 for ingesting content at much higher speeds than USB
2.0. In some situations, a USB 3.0 drive may be detected as USB 2.0. This prevents you from
ingesting content at the highest speed possible. Make sure that you are using a good quality
cable.
You can identify a USB 3.0 cable by looking at the connector ends. USB 3.0 cables have blue
connectors.
If the cable is plugged into the Dolby IMS3000 slowly, the USB 2.0 pins are detected first and
the drive is mounted using the slower 2.0 settings. If a prompt appears that says This device
could perform faster, this indicates that the USB 3.0 drive was detected as USB 2.0. In such a
case, try to re-seat the connection.
