    Nota important per als usuaris de macOS:

    macOS does not support Multi Stream Transport (MST) technology. When connected to a device running macOS, all connected monitors will display the same mirrored image. Only one external screen can be used effectively as an extended display; others will mirror it. For multiple extended monitors on macOS, a different i-tec docking station supporting alternative display technologies would be required.
