4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1 Configuració de la pantalla
L'estació d'acoblament admet diverses configuracions de pantalla segons el sistema operatiu.
Per a sistemes Windows:
Windows systems support both MST (Multi-Stream Transport) and SST (Single-Stream Transport) modes, allowing for extended and mirrored displays across multiple monitors.
- Pantalla dual: Connect two monitors via DP+HDMI1 or HDMI1+HDMI2 for 4K@60Hz on each.
- Pantalla triple: Connect three monitors via HDMI1+HDMI2+DP for 4K@30Hz on each.
Image 4.1: Windows laptop configured for triple 4K display using the docking station.
Image 4.2: Multiple Display configurations for Windows.
For Mac OS Systems:
Mac OS only supports SST (Single-Stream Transport) mode. This means that while you can connect multiple external monitors, they will all display the same extended content, or mirror your laptop's display. Mac OS does not support triple extended displays.
- Pantalla dual: Connect two monitors via DP+HDMI1 or HDMI1+HDMI2 for 4K@60Hz on each. Both external monitors will show the same extended desktop.
- Pantalla triple: Connecting three monitors will result in all three external monitors displaying the same content, or mirroring the laptop. True triple extended display is not supported.

8K/4K High Resolution Display:
When only one monitor is connected to either the DisplayPort or one of the HDMI ports, the docking station can deliver an ultra-high definition resolution of 8K@30Hz or 4K@120Hz. This provides an immersive visual experience for movies and gaming.
