Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Newmight USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter:

1. Verify Host Device Compatibility: Ensure your laptop or device has a USB-C port that supports video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4). Ports that only support data transfer or charging are not compatible for video output.

Operating Instructions

Once connected, you can configure your display settings through your operating system.

Windows Operating System

For Windows devices, the adapter supports Mirror Mode, Extend Mode (SST), and Extend Mode (MST) for dual monitors.

• Mirror Mode (A-A-A): All displays show the same content.
• Extend Mode (SST - A-B-B): The primary display (laptop) shows one content, and both external monitors mirror each other, showing a different extended content.
• Extend Mode (MST - A-B-C): The primary display (laptop) shows one content, and each external monitor displays unique, extended content.

macOS Operating System

Due to macOS limitations, when connecting two monitors, both external monitors can only display the same content (A-B-B or A-A-A). MST mode (A-B-C) is not supported.

• Mirror Mode (A-A-A): All displays show the same content.
• Extend Mode (A-B-B): The primary display (MacBook) shows one content, and both external monitors mirror each other, showing a different extended content.

Resolution Support

• Single HDMI Port: Supports up to 4K@60Hz.
• Dual HDMI Ports: Supports up to 4K@30Hz for each monitor.

Note: For 4K resolution, ensure your devices and HDMI cables (HDMI 2.0 or better) support 4K.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Newmight USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the adapter. Avoid liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Handle the adapter and its cables with care. Avoid bending or twisting the cable excessively.
• Heat Dissipation: The aluminum alloy housing is designed for superior heat dissipation. Ensure the adapter is placed in an area with adequate airflow to prevent overheating during extended use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Newmight USB C to Dual HDMI Adapter, refer to the following common solutions:

1. No Display on Monitor:
   • Ensure your host device's USB-C port supports video output.
   • Check that HDMI cables are securely connected to both the adapter and the monitors.
   • Verify that monitors are powered on and set to the correct HDMI input.
   • Try restarting your host device.
2. Incorrect Resolution or Flickering Screen:
   • Ensure your HDMI cables are HDMI 2.0 or better, especially for 4K resolution.
   • Check your display settings on your host device and adjust the resolution and refresh rate.
   • Update your graphics drivers on your host device.
3. macOS Dual Monitor Limitation:
   • As noted, macOS does not support MST (Multi-Stream Transport) mode for dual extended displays. Both external monitors will mirror each other (A-B-B) or mirror the primary display (A-A-A). This is a system limitation, not a product defect.
4. Adapter Overheating:
   • Ensure the adapter is in an open area with good ventilation. Avoid covering it or placing it in confined spaces.
   • If the issue persists, disconnect the adapter and contact customer support.
