Product Features
Technical Overview
This MST hub operates on DisplayPort 1.4 with High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) and Display Stream Compression (DSC) support, enabling dual 5K 60Hz output when connected to compatible hardware. The maximum video resolution per display reaches 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD), making it suitable for high-resolution productivity and content creation workflows.
The adapter interfaces through a built-in DisplayPort cable that extends 1 foot (30 cm) from the hub body, reducing strain on the host port and allowing flexible placement. Internal processing relies on the host system's GPU—whether Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA—to handle graphics rendering, minimizing CPU overhead for efficient multi-tasking.
This section brings together practical product details such as Maximum Video Resolution, DisplayPort, USB, Number of DisplayPort Inputs, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
