FAQ
What display configurations does the TBT-UDM docking station support?
The TBT-UDM supports up to two external displays simultaneously at resolutions including 4K (3840x2160) at 60Hz, 6K (6016x3384), and 8K (7680x4320). Both displays connect via the dual HDMI 2.0 ports, enabling extended or mirrored desktop configurations without requiring display drivers on compatible systems.
How much power does this dock deliver to my notebook?
The docking station provides 100W USB Power Delivery to compatible host devices through the Thunderbolt 4 connection. This is sufficient to charge most modern notebooks, including MacBook Pro and Windows ultrabooks, while simultaneously powering connected peripherals and driving external displays.
Which MacBook models are compatible with this docking station?
The TBT-UDM is fully compatible with all M4 and M5 MacBooks, as well as M1, M2, and M3 MacBooks with Pro or Max CPUs. Base M1 and M2 MacBooks support only a single external display, while base M3 Macs support dual displays in clamshell mode only. The dock works driverlessly with all supported Apple systems.
Does this docking station work with Windows computers?
Yes, the TBT-UDM is compatible with Windows systems featuring Thunderbolt 4 or USB4 ports. The dock offers plug-and-play functionality over these connections, providing the same dual 4K display support, 100W charging, and comprehensive port access available on compatible Mac systems.
What types of memory cards does the built-in reader support?
The integrated card reader supports both SD and microSD memory cards using the UHS-II interface standard. This provides significantly faster transfer speeds compared to basic card readers, making it suitable for professional photography and videography workflows where large file sizes are common.
What networking capabilities does the docking station include?
The TBT-UDM features a Gigabit Ethernet port (RJ-45) that provides wired network connectivity at speeds up to 1000 Mbps. This offers more stable and consistent network performance compared to wireless connections, which is particularly valuable for video conferencing, large file transfers, and latency-sensitive applications.
