- Extended Mode: Each external monitor can display different content, extending your desktop workspace.
- Mirror Mode: Both external monitors can display the same content as your laptop screen.
4.2. macOS Operating System:
Due to limitations of the macOS system, dual-monitor MST (Multi-Stream Transport) is not supported. macOS will only support mirror mode for external displays.
Image: Diagram illustrating a macOS laptop connected to two external monitors, showing that only mirror mode (A+B+B) is supported, and extended mode (A+B+C) is not available.
- Mirror Mode Only: All connected external monitors will display the same content as your MacBook screen.
4.3. Other Compatible Devices:
The hub is compatible with devices like Steam Deck and Android smartphones/tablets that support DisplayPort Alt Mode. Functionality may vary based on the device's capabilities and operating system.

8. Troubleshooting and Important Tips
- Power Supply Suggestions: Considering the power consumption of the product and the limited maximum output of your laptop's USB-C port, connecting multiple ports to the dock can result in a relatively high load. To prevent insufficient power allocation, it is recommended to connect a 100W power supply to the dock. Using a power supply lower than 65W may result in slow charging or no charging of the computer.
- About 4 Displays: When using DP1.4, it is possible to extend to 3 displays, depending on the processor's support for 3 monitors. However, if the laptop does not have a dedicated graphics card, the laptop's screen may go black when extending to 3 displays.
- About Apple: Due to the limitation of only allowing a single video signal output, MacBooks do not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport).
- After Connecting: Make sure to connect the power supply to the docking station to ensure proper functionality.
- Compatibility: We do not recommend using any other converters with the docking station as we cannot guarantee compatibility.
