2-Port DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Hub, 4K UHD, TAA
Model Number: B156-002-HD-V2
Displays the same image on 2 HDMI monitors, extends the desktop across both, or combines both into one large monitor. Ideal for digital signage in schools, churches, conference rooms, trade shows and retail outlets.
- Supports UHD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) @ 60Hz
- Built-in 6 in. cable connects directly to DisplayPort source
- Supports up to 48-bit Deep Color (16 bits per channel)
- Works with all operating systems
- Supports DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD and 7.1-channel surround sound
- 3-year limited warranty
- Computer with DisplayPort 1.2-compatible graphics card (e.g. AMD Radeon with AMD Eyefinity) required for video wall mode. Backward compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers with feature set limited to that of your equipment. Compatibility with older graphics cards 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 depend on your graphics card. Check graphics card specifications to determine its capabilities.
