DisplayLink Drivers for macOS
HDMI Port 1 uses USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode (also called DP-Alt Mode) to display video and should work as plug

HDMI Ports 2 & 3 require the host computer to have DisplayLink drivers installed to support external monitors. Windows
and ChromeOS support DisplayLink natively and don’t need additional drivers installed to run external monitors.

macOS users will need to install DisplayLink drivers to run external monitors on HDMI Ports 2 & 3. DisplayLink
drivers are available for MacOS X 10.8 onwards. For optimum performance it is recommended to download and install the
