Technical Overview
Built on the DisplayPort 1.4 standard with Display Stream Compression (DSC) and High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) support, this MST hub delivers a total bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps. This enables it to drive two displays at 4K resolution (3840x2160) with a 60Hz refresh rate simultaneously, or support lower resolutions like 1080p at 60Hz for each output.
The hub operates with a maximum signal distance of 2 mm, ensuring reliable data transmission. It requires a host system with DP 1.4, HBR3, and MST capabilities, and is compatible with video cards from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel, as well as desktops from major manufacturers like HP, Dell, and Lenovo.
This section brings together practical product details such as Maximum Video Resolution, DisplayPort, HDMI Out, Number of DisplayPort Inputs, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
