Important operation notes

•  Different types of displays, such as HDMI®, DVI, and VGA work with 

this MST hub, provided the appropriate DisplayPort adapter is 

used. DisplayPort adapters aren’t included. The StarTech.com SKU 

for each adapter is listed below:

• 

DisplayPort to HDMI adapter

 (DP2HDMI)

• 

DisplayPort to VGA adapter

 (DP2VGA3)

• 

DisplayPort to DVI adapter

 (DP2DVI2)

•  A DisplayPort 1.2 video card or source is required for MST support.

•  When using a DisplayPort 1.1 video card, the MST hub acts as 

a splitter, automatically mirroring your video source across all 

of the displays.

•  MST is certified for operation with Microsoft® Windows® 8 

devices. Other operating systems may adopt the technology; 

please check your operating system vendor to confirm 

support. Operating system support is subject to change.

•  After the MST hub is attached, it may be necessary to initiate the 

operation of additional displays from within your Display settings.

•  The SCAN button resyncs all of the attached displays, and can 

be utilized if any of the displays aren’t detected.

•  Certain graphics adapters, such at the Intel® based chips found on 

the Microsoft Surface™ Pro 3, have limited MST support and will 

only output to three displays in total. If you attach more than three 

displays, all of the displays beyond that number will be disabled, 

including the touch screen on the Surface Pro 3.

•  MST shares 10.2 Gbps of bandwidth across all of the attached 

displays. Higher resolutions can restrict the bandwidth available 

for the remaining ports. Please see the guidelines below to 

determine the ideal resolution for your setup.

Average resolution bandwidth allocation

1920 x 1080 (High-definition 1080p) @60hz – 22%

1920 x 1200 @60hz – 30%

2560 x 1440 @60hz – 35%

2560 x 1600 @60hz – 38%

3840 x 2160 (Ultra HD 4K) @30hz – 38%

Note:

 Exceeding 100% will reduce functionality.
