Multi-Monitor Requirements
The MTB3-DOCK-03 and MTB3-DOCK-03INT supports the connection of two
monitors at the same time through DisplayPort Multi-Stream Transport (MST)
mode. Connect a DisplayPort monitor and Thunderbolt 3-enabled monitor at the
same time. The following limitations must be taken into account when connecting
multiple monitors at the same time:
Does the Source Computer Support DisplayPort MST Mode?
When connecting to a Thunderbolt 3 source that supports DisplayPort MST mode,
the EDID information of both connected monitors will be read by the computer
and appear as separate displays that can be shown in mirror mode or extended
mode. Both the DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3 ports can achieve video resolutions
up to 8K (7680 x 4320) @ 30 Hz when used with a Thunderbolt 3-enabled source
computer and Thunderbolt 3 cable. The ports can be used simultaneously at
resolutions of 8K @
30 Hz plus 4K @ 30 Hz.
When connecting to a Thunderbolt 3 source that does not support DisplayPort MST
mode, only one video port will display video on a rst-come basis, and will always
be the rst video port connected.
Does the Source Computer Support a Thunderbolt 3 Connection?
The MTB3-DOCK-03 and MTB3-DOCK-03INT can be used to transmit video from
source computers that have a Thunderbolt 3 port or USB Type-C port that supports
Multi-Function DisplayPort (MFDP). In order to achieve optimal performance and
video resolution, the device should be used with a Thunderbolt 3-enabled port.
When connected to a computer’s Thunderbolt 3 port, the DisplayPort connector
supports 4-Lane DP1.4 video resolutions up to 8K (7680 x 4320) @ 30 Hz. When
connected to a USB Type-C MFDP-enabled port, the DisplayPort connector can
only reach 2-Lane DP1.4 video resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60 Hz, and
requires the host computer to support DP1.4 Alternate Mode. The Thunderbolt 3
output port cannot be used to transmit video when plugged into a USB Type-C port,
as it only supports USB 2.0 data transmission in this way.
