FAQs
Does this hub support audio transmission?
No, this DisplayPort MST hub does not support audio transmission. Audio must be transmitted separately through your computer's audio output or other dedicated audio solutions.
What is MST and how does it work?
MST stands for Multi-Stream Transport. It allows multiple independent video streams to be sent from a single DisplayPort output. This enables you to connect multiple displays and use them in extended desktop or video wall configurations.
Do I need to install any software to use this hub?
No, this hub is designed for plug-and-play installation and does not require any software or driver installation. Its functionality relies on your computer's graphics card and operating system support for MST.
What is the maximum resolution supported?
The hub supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K) at 30Hz per display. The total bandwidth is shared between the connected displays.
Do I need to connect a power adapter?
Yes, the hub requires power and is USB-powered. You need to connect the included Micro-USB cable to a powered USB port on your computer or a separate USB power adapter.
Can I connect different types of displays?
The hub has two DisplayPort outputs, so you will need DisplayPort monitors or monitors with DisplayPort inputs. If your monitors use HDMI or DVI, you would need appropriate DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI adapters, ensuring they are compatible with MST.
What is the difference between Mirrored and Extended mode?
In Mirrored mode, all connected displays show the exact same content. In Extended mode, you can span your desktop across multiple displays, creating a larger workspace.
Troubleshooting
One or both displays are not detected.
Ensure the Micro-USB power cable is securely connected to a powered USB port. Verify that DisplayPort cables are firmly connected to the hub, displays, and source device. Check that your graphics card and operating system support MST and multi-display configurations. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
Display resolution is incorrect or limited.
Confirm that your graphics card supports the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the DisplayPort cables are rated for the resolution you are trying to achieve. Check your operating system's display settings for resolution options. Verify that the source DisplayPort is version 1.2 or higher.
Flickering or unstable image on displays.
Check the quality and condition of your DisplayPort cables; consider using higher-rated cables. Ensure the USB power connection is stable. Update your computer's graphics drivers to the latest version. Reduce the resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue persists.
System does not boot or behaves erratically after connecting the hub.
Disconnect the hub and check if the system functions normally. If it does, re-connect the hub and ensure all cables are properly seated. Try connecting only one display to the hub first to rule out a specific display or cable issue.
