** For more information about MST support, please contact the maker of your display and computers for details. ![]() * Some Windows Thunderbolt 3 computers such as Dell XPS-13-9365 can support daisy-chained MST displays in extended mode. Similar results can also be achieved with a Mac running BootCamp on Windows to show Extended Mode. To daisy chain more than two monitors, follow a similar sequence: The first monitor connects to the second, the second monitor connects to the third, and so on. On the other hand, Windows 10 supports MST Hub and MST Daisy-Chainable monitors to show in Extended mode (2 separate contents). When connecting to MST Hub and MST daisy-chained displays, mcOS will show them in cloned mode (mirrored), not extended mode. However, actual MST type support depends on the capability of host computer’s Operating System (OS), graphic card, drivers, intended design and monitors.Ĭurrently, Macs running on macOS with Thunderbolt 3 ports can ONLY support MST tiled display that uses MST to accomplish the tiling technique as described above for one 4K Display. The DisplayPort output connects to the next downstream monitor.īoth downstream Thunderbolt 3 port and DisplayPort on the TS3 and TS3 Plus support all 3 types of MSTs MST Tile, MST Hub and MST Daisy-Chained monitors. )ĭisplayPort v1.2 supports daisy chainable displays having both a DisplayPort input and a DisplayPort output from one monitor. (NOTE: MST hub can also be called MST splitters, or DisplayPort splitters. Users, however, can use BootCamp to run Windows on a late model Mac for MST hub “Extended” mode. Please always check with your video card manufacturer to verify MST compatibility.Ĭurrently, macOS can only support MST hub in “Mirrored” mode. It is important to note that although some video cards can technically support DP1.2, it may not be supporting MST. MST hubs require that the video card’s DisplayPort output support DP1.2 or greater, which supports MST. MST Hubs can be configures for Mirrored (Duplicated), Extended, or video wall mode. MST hub is a device that splits the total bandwidth from a DisplayPort 1.2 source to multiple video connections allowing users to connect to more than one monitor simultaneously. This is the MST fully supported by macOS. ![]() This technique is also referred to as a “tile.” (Monitor with more than one panel). Most early 4K monitors on the market, such as Sharp PN-K321, ASUS PQ321Q, Dell UP2414Q and UP3214Q, Panasonic TC-L65WT600 … etc, used Multi-Stream Transport technology to put two halves of a display together onto one large 4K surface to reach 60Hz (Stream 1 + Stream 2). When it comes to MST in general, the TS3 and TS3 Plus simply act as a pass-through device from the host computer’s OS (Operating System). MST Hub (MST Splitter or DisplayPort Splitter) In a nutshell, there are 3 types of MSTs:Ģ. ![]() If you are experiencing problems on Windows, please make sure that you are using DP 1.2 cables and monitors.īefore we tackle this question, let’s first define MST (Multi-Stream Transport Technology ) so that everyone has a common understanding about MST. MacOS does not currently support MST, and will be able to mirror monitors at best.
