Graphics Card Requirement
A computer with a DisplayPort v1.2 compatible Graphics Card (e.g. AMD Radeon with AMD Eyefinity technology) is required to display in video wall mode. Backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers, with the feature set being limited to that of your equipment (e.g. you may be limited to displaying in Clone / Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older graphics cards is not guaranteed. MST compliant DisplayPort 1.2 graphics cards are limited to a bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps amongst all monitors, with higher resolution monitors using up more bandwidth. 1080p monitors will use up approximately 22% of bandwidth, whereas 4K monitors will use 40% or more. As each monitor will be different, it is necessary to verify the percentage of bandwidth being used by each monitor in the display settings interface for your graphics card. If the total percentage of bandwidth taken up by all of the connected monitors exceeds 100%, an image will not display on one or more of them.Maximum supported video resolutions and number of monitors will be dependent upon your graphics card. Check the specifications of your graphics card to determine its capabilities.
Overview
Features
- Splits a DisplayPort video signal to simultaneously display the same signal on two DisplayPort monitors, or expands it across both monitors as in video wall mode
- Displays can be placed up to 25 ft. away from the splitter/expander; the video source can be up to 16 ft. away from the splitter/expander (6 ft. is recommended).
- Supports both 4K @ 60Hz (3840 x 2160) UHD video and standard 1080p @ 60Hz (1920x1080) high-definition video
- Supports up to 48-bit Deep Color (16 bits per channel) and video resolutions up to 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD), 4K @ 60Hz (3840 x 2160)
- Complies with HDCP, EDID and DDC
- Compatible with DisplayPort 1.2
- Compatible with Apple® Thunderbolt connectors (using P583-Series Mini Displayport to Displayport adapter cable)
- Plug-and-play; no software or drivers required
- Easy to install; connect the DisplayPort video source to the hub’s input port, connect the external power supply, and finally connect the two monitors to the output ports
- Wall-, rack- or pole-mounting; all mounting hardware is included
- Compliant with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule purchases
System Requirements
- A computer with a DisplayPort v1.2 compatible Graphics Card (e.g. AMD Radeon with AMD Eyefinity technology) is required to display in video wall mode.
- Mac OS X does not support MST for NVIDIA and Intel Graphics Processor Units, limiting video display on the connected monitors to mirror mode.
- Backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers, with the feature set being limited to that of your equipment (e.g. you may be limited to displaying in Clone / Mirror Mode only). Compatibility with older graphics cards is not guaranteed.
- Maximum supported video resolutions and number of monitors will be dependent upon your graphics card. Check the specifications of your graphics card to determine its capabilities.
- A monitor with a Displayport input port.

Questions & Answers
Multi-Stream Transport (MST) allows multiple monitors to be connected over a single DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection. To use MST, you need monitors that support DisplayPort 1.2 daisy chaining or a DisplayPort MST Hub (also referred to as an MST splitter or DisplayPort splitter). For a full explanation of MST, see DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Explained.
