• Mode d'ampliació: Each connected display shows different content, expanding your desktop workspace.

For Windows and Chrome OS, you can configure your displays to operate in Mirror Mode or Extend Mode, supporting up to three independent displays (your laptop screen + two external monitors).

5.3 Configuring Displays (Mac OS)

For Mac OS, the adapter supports Mirror Mode and Extend Mode. However, due to Mac OS limitations, the two additional screens connected via the adapter will display the same content in Extend Mode (i.e., you cannot have three independent displays: laptop + external 1 + external 2 showing different content).
