The

 

DisplayPort

 

video

 

output

 

on

 

the

 

dock

 

will

 

only

 

support

 

a

 

connection

 

to

 

a

 

DisplayPort

 

monitor.

  

An

 

active

 

adapter

 

may

 

be

 

required

 

if

 

you

 

would

 

want

 

to

 

convert

 

to

 

an

 

HDMI,

 

DVI,

 

or

 

VGA

 

connection.

 

 

The

 

HDMI

 

video

 

output

 

on

 

the

 

dock

 

will

 

only

 

support

 

a

 

connection

 

to

 

an

 

HDMI

 

monitor,

 

or

 

to

 

a

 

DVI

 

connection

 

with

 

a

 

passive

 

adapter.

 

 

Check

 

your

 

displays

 

settings

 

and

 

that

 

you

 

are

 

set

 

up

 

in

 

“Extend

 

Mode”

 

(Fn+F8),

 

then

 

drag

 

an

 

open

 

window

 

on

 

your

 

laptop

 

off

 

the

 

side

 

of

 

the

 

laptop

 

screen

 

to

 

see

 

if

 

it

 

shows

 

up

 

on

 

the

 

monitor.

  

 

Problem:

  

My

 

laptop/tablet

 

supports

 

DisplayPort

 

Alt

 

mode

 

over

 

USB

C,

 

but

 

I

 

still

 

cannot

 

get

 

video.

 

Possible

 

Solutions:

  

There

 

may

 

be

 

some

 

video

 

compatibility

 

issues,

 

as

 

we

 

are

 

still

 

at

 

a

 

very

 

early

 

stage

 

in

 

the

 

development

 

of

 

DisplayPort

 

Alt

 

mode

 

over

 

USB

C.

 

We

 

provide

 

a

 

firmware

 

upgrade

 

tool

 

for

 

our

 

SD1500

 

USB

C

 

Mobile

 

Dock,

 

CV4000H

 

USB

C

 

to

 

HDMI

 

Video

 

Adapter,

 

and

 

CV2000V

 

USB

C

 

to

 

VGA

 

Video

 

Adapter

 

to

 

help

 

troubleshoot

 

video

 

compatibility

 

issues

 

for

 

Windows.

 

Please

 

visit

 

software.kensington.com

 

to

 

see

 

if

 

a

 

new

 

firmware

 

upgrade

 

is

 

available

 

and

 

follow

 

the

 

online

 

instructions

 

to

 

download

 

the

 

firmware.

 

 

Problem:

  

I

 

have

 

a

 

4K

 

monitor

 

that

 

supports

 

4K

 

at

 

60

 

HZ,

 

but

 

it

 

does

 

not

 

work

 

with

 

the

 

SD4500

 

or

 

the

 

SD4600P.

 

Is

 

there

 

a

 

work

 

around?

 

 

Possible

 

Solutions:

  

This

 

may

 

happen

 

because

 

the

 

docking

 

station

 

is

 

prioritizing

 

bandwidth

 

to

 

USB

 

devices

 

on

 

the

 

dock.

 

To

 

resolve

 

this,

 

we

 

suggest

 

unplugging

 

all

 

the

 

connected

 

peripherals,

 

then

 

connect

 

in

 

the

 

following

 

order:

 

1.

 

Power

 

cable

 

to

 

the

 

dock

 

2.

 

USB

C

 

cable

 

between

 

laptop

 

and

 

dock
