Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Functionality:

This KVM switch supports MST, which simplifies connecting multiple displays. For laptops, a single USB-C port can drive all three displays. For desktops, a single DisplayPort connection can manage all three displays.

  • Windows: Windows computers can output three different screens (extended mode) with MST.
  • macOS: macOS computers typically output three identical screens (mirror mode) as macOS does not natively support Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for extended displays across multiple external monitors from a single port.

Power Delivery (PD) for Laptops:

The KVM switch's USB-C input for PC 1 (Laptop) supports 100W Power Delivery, allowing it to charge your compatible laptop while connected. This eliminates the need for a separate laptop charger.
