Overview
Features
- Connect four independent HDMI monitors to a single DisplayPort output on your computer
- Display the same image on each monitor, extend the desktop across them, or display in video wall mode where monitors are combined to display as one, enlarged monitor
- Supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) on each connected monitor.
- Expanded video resolutions are supported when displaying all four monitors in video wall mode, such as 3840 x 2160 @ 24/30Hz in a 2X2 monitor configuration, or 7680 x 1080 in a vertical 4X1 monitor configuration.
Video Standards and Protocols
- Supports up to 48-bit Deep Color (16 bits per channel)
- Compatible with HDCP, EDID and DDC
- DisplayPort 1.2 compliant
- Compatible with Apple® Thunderbolt connectors when using a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (Tripp Lite P583-Series)
Installation
- 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 four HDMI monitors to the output ports
- Connect to a Mini DisplayPort output, or the Thunderbolt port on your Mac, using a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (Tripp Lite P583-Series)
Mounting Options
- Wall-, rack- or pole-mounting; mounting hardware is included
TAA-Compliant for GSA Schedule Purchases
- 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.
- MST-compliant 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 of your graphics card. If the total percentage of bandwidth taken up by all the connected monitors exceeds 100%, an image will not display on one or more of them.
- A monitor with a HDMI 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.
