StarTech.com MST Hub – Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort

This MST hub lets you connect two monitors to your Mini DisplayPort™ (mDP) 1.2 equipped Windows® tablet, laptop or desktop. It’s USB powered, so the only thing you’ll need to operate the hub is your computer.

The hub features a newly engineered chipset that was specifically designed and rigorously tested to resolve compatibility issues with the Microsoft Surface™ Pro 3.

Increase productivity with multiple screens

The newest generations of computers are more portable than ever, which often means that you’re left with fewer video outputs and smaller integrated screens. This MST hub solves both of these problems by letting you connect two additional displays to your computer, which makes multitasking much easier.

Connect to any display

With the MST hub, you can use Mini DisplayPort video adapters and cable adapters that enable you to connect HDMI, VGA or DVI displays. This ensures your MST hub will be compatible with virtually any television, monitor or projector. The hub is VESA and DisplayPort certified to support mDP 1.2 enabled systems, for seamless integration with your existing video equipment.

Configure your displays for any environment

Using the MST hub, you can extend your desktop onto additional monitors and stream independent content to each display giving you the freedom to multitask and increase your productivity. You can also mirror the same image onto multiple displays for remote viewing applications such as digital signage.

Enjoy amazing video quality, without draining system resources

MST technology uses your existing video card to minimize the use of system resources while delivering Ultra HD 4K resolutions. This unprecedented performance makes MST perfect for high-resolution applications such as graphic design, gaming and medical imaging.

Note: When using a DisplayPort 1.1 video card the MST hub will act as a splitter, automatically mirroring your video source across all displays. Resolution limitations apply.

The MSTMDP122DP supports plug-and-play installation for a hassle-free setup, and is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
