4. Funzionamento dell'hub

This section details the functionality of each port on your HyperDrive hub.

4.1 Video Output Ports (HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, VGA)

The hub supports connecting to external displays via HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, and VGA. Ensure your display cables are securely connected to the hub and your monitor.

  • HDMI: Supporta una risoluzione fino a 4K a 30 Hz.
  • Mini DisplayPort: Supporta una risoluzione fino a 4K a 30 Hz.
  • VGA: Supporta risoluzioni fino a 1920 x 1200 a 60 Hz.

Linee guida per l'uso: HDMI and Mini DisplayPort only work with the same video port type monitor. It must be direct HDMI to HDMI connection or direct Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort / DisplayPort connection between HyperDrive hub and display device. The video ports will only work if your device supports video output over USB C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). While Thunderbolt 2 port and Mini DisplayPort look alike, video output to Thunderbolt 2 display is not supported on this hub. When using two extended displays with Windows laptop, the maximum video resolution output that can be supported is 2K. Due to a large variety of Windows computer models and specifications, please ensure that USB-C port/ports on the computer support DisplayPort Alternate mode with MST. Please contact the manufacturer of your computer to check if it's supported. VGA and HDMI ports cannot work together.
