3. Operating Instructions

3.1. Video Output (HDMI & Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C)

The hub supports video output through its HDMI port and the Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C port.

• HDMI Port: Connect an HDMI cable from the hub to your TV, monitor, or projector. Supports resolutions up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) at 30Hz.
• Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C Port: This port supports up to 5K@60Hz display output.

For non-M1/M2/M3 MacBooks, both the HDMI and Thunderbolt-enabled USB-C ports can be used simultaneously for dual monitor display, allowing you to mirror or extend your laptop's display.
