APPLE THUNDERBOLT TO HDMI ADAPTER PRO

This configuration still leaves two available Thunderbolt 3 ports in the system. One of our Thunderbolt 3 Dual Display Adapters can be connected to one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports on the opposite side of the laptop to add two additional displays bringing the grand total to four.

Our Thunderbolt 3 Dual Display Adapters in DisplayPort ( ) and HDMI ( ) variants are a good solution to allow the system to reach the maximum number of displays while using as few of the available Thunderbolt 3 ports in the system.įor example, a MacBook Pro 15” model can have our TBT3-UDV dock connected to one Thunderbolt 3 port and drive two displays. The inclusion of the more powerful AMD Radeon graphics adapter allows the system to support a maximum of four external displays. As the name implies, the system can ‘switch’ between the two depending on need and in doing so allows for better battery life or higher performance. They have both an Intel graphics adapter and a more capable (but more power hungry) AMD Radeon graphics adapter. If more than two displays are needed, the options available depend on the type of internal graphics adapter built-in to the MacBook Pro.Īll MacBook Pro 13” Thunderbolt 3 models have an internal Intel graphics adapter that is limited to a maximum of two external displays, so using a docking station with two displays as described above would be the maximum.Īll MacBook Pro 15” Thunderbolt 3 models have what is known as switchable internal graphics adapters.

We have a video demonstration showing the setup of the TBT3-UDV ( ) that can help provide context for those unfamiliar. When combined with one of our USB-C to video cables (such as our USB-C to HDMI cable -> or our USB-C to DisplayPort cable -> ) a second display can be connected to the dock.

Out of the box, the dock can be used to add one additional DisplayPort or HDMI display (using the included DisplayPort to HDMI adapter) to a MacBook Pro laptop with Thunderbolt 3.
