4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your WAVLINK USB-C to Dual HDMI Adapter:

  1. Connect the USB-C connector of the adapter to a compatible USB-C port on your laptop. Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output.

5. Operating Modes and Resolution

The adapter supports various display configurations depending on your operating system and laptop's DisplayPort version.

Display Modes

  • Mirror Mode: Both external displays show the same content as your laptop screen. Supported on Windows and Mac OS.
  • Extend Mode (Windows): Each external display can show different content, extending your desktop across multiple screens.
  • Extend Mode (Mac OS): Mac OS supports extending to only one external display with different content. The second external display will mirror the first external display.

To ensure proper functionality, please verify the following requirements for your host device:

  • Your laptop's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for video output.
  • For power delivery, your USB-C port must support Power Delivery (PD).
  • For dual 4K@60Hz resolution on Windows, your laptop must support DisplayPort 1.4 (DP1.4).
  • This adapter is not compatible with any MAC OS computer in full extend mode (i.e., two distinct extended displays). Mac OS will only extend to one external display, with the second external display mirroring the first.

7. Troubleshooting

  • No Display on External Monitors:
    • Ensure your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
    • Check all HDMI cable connections between the adapter and monitors.
    • Verify that your monitors are set to the correct HDMI input source.
    • Restart your laptop and reconnect the adapter.
  • Lower Than Expected Resolution:
    • For dual 4K@60Hz on Windows, confirm your laptop supports DisplayPort 1.4. If it supports DP1.2, resolutions will be limited to 4K@60Hz + 4K@30Hz.
    • Check your display settings in your operating system to ensure the desired resolution is selected.
  • Laptop Not Charging:
    • Ensure you are using a 20V/5A/100W USB-C power adapter (not included) connected to the adapter's PD port.
    • Confirm your laptop's charging power requirement does not exceed 95W through the adapter.
    • Verify your laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery.
  • Mac OS Dual Extend Mode Behavior:
    • As noted, Mac OS only supports extending to one external display with different content. The second external display will mirror the first. This is a limitation of Mac OS, not a defect of the adapter.
