Hi there! There are external display limitations on the M3 when using Thunderbolt. The key here is that our quad display docking station mentioned int his video (model: DK31C4DPPD) is using DisplayLink technology and does not use Thunderbolt's video output. DisplayLink almost functions like an external graphics card and is intended for everyday browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, etc., (not intended for 3D applications like CAD or gaming). It will provide 4 additional extended displays from your M3 MacBook up to 4K 60Hz each.

Hi there! We did receive some feedback from customers stating the Duo 2 and 8K Gen 1 and Gen 2 seemed to work for them but they did not provide us specific system setups or additional information.

@@startech thank you!

Hi there! The adhesive can be removed if you no longer wish to use it. Hence, we carry additional adhesive strips (model: MON-PRIVACY-SCREEN-K) to replace them. If you are looking for a different privacy screen mount method other than adhesive strips or slide tabs, we have several models that support different laptop styles including magnetic, flip-over, or flip-up. You can have a look at our privacy screen page to find one that fits your specific model: www.startech.com/en-us/privacy-screen-filters/laptop-privacy-filters Alternatively, feel free to contact our free 24/5 support team to help you out.

Hi there! 28GB/min is the equivalent of 466MB/sec which is roughly what some model SSDs can read/write at. These are optimal speeds but are determined by drive type, make/model, as well as drive health. If you use an old platter drive, your speeds will be slower.

I challenge you in this company to show you an HD that you do at the speed that you say you do. Because I guarantee you won't get to the speed you say.

I bought the product and I am deeply disappointed with the product. The first came in trouble. They replaced, the second was also defective. I had to take it to a professional to take both spoiled devices and create only one. Hoping to have the speed that the announcement says. Result, lie. I spent time and money. The speed this device makes is the same as that of $20 devices.

Hi there! The mount is designed to be installed in an upright orientation only (i.e., clamped to a desk). Any other methods of installation (sideways, upside down, etc.) have not been tested by us and could potentially be dangerous.

Hi! This is a combination KVM and docking station. The docking station allows you to switch between two connected hosts like a KVM does and it also charges the active host at 90W Power Delivery while the inactive/standby host charges at 45W.

Hi there! As noted in our M3 Display Solutions guide (www.startech.com/en-us/tools-and-resources/solutions/m3-display-solutions), you can use a Thunderbolt docking station like our 132N-TB4USB4DOCK which utilizes your system's GPU's capabilities and can provide dual external displays with your MacBook Air M3's screen closed.. or use a DisplayLink-powered docking station like our DK30C2DPEP which can offer more than two display outputs. We have additional documentation that you may find helpful here: www.startech.com/en-us/blog/dual-displays-and-beyond-with-m3-macbook-air

If your model iMac has Thunderbolt inputs, there is currently no DisplayLink-powered video adapter that connects via USB on a system and offers Thunderbolt video on the output. For example, our 109B-USBC-HDMI model (www.startech.com/en-us/display-video-adapters/109b-usbc-hdmi) can plug into a TB3 port (or USB-C, or USB-A), and provide dual 4K 60Hz HDMI outputs.

@@startechMy computer is a MSI Katana GF76 12UE, and the screen is a Samsung S27F350HFL

My dock is StarTech DK30CH2DPPD

Hello there! We just answered a similar question below! In short, M-chip iMacs do have limitations, but you can still get around it with DisplayLink or even Silicon Image chipsets like our 107B-USB-HDMI. Depending on your setup, you may be better off with. USB video adapter rather than a full fledge docking station, especially if you don't need all of the ports and features a dock would provide for a desktop system.

Hello! USB-C ports that are data only should still support DisplayLink. The additional video capabilities are taken care of by the DisplayLink chipset on the docking station and not your alternate mode DisplayPort from your USB-C port.

Unfortunately, we do not make a device that simultaneously mirrors the mouse motion on two different computers.

iMacs do have some limitation with maximum displays. However, DisplayLink chipsets should work fine on iMacs but you would have to ask yourself if you require a full docking station (which are generally intended for laptops and usually include laptop charging) or a DisplayLink-powered USB adapter providing two video outputs. An example of a docking station providing dual displays (without the power delivery laptop charging feature) is the DK30A2DH while a USB adapter offering dual displays is the 109B-USBC-HDMI.

Hi there! Our docking stations are designed for high-performance users. Although we do not generally test with gaming applications, if your objective is to get a particular video resolution and refresh rate that out docking station supports (and that your monitor supports), there should be no reason why that wouldn't work. Ultimately, your laptop's hardware specifications would determine how well gaming applications work for you.

@@startech Thank you kındly. I already got your 4hdmi USB2 adapter and can't wait to try it. And this is hopefully next.

@@startech May I know what is the average display latency?

@@aegisrunestone5573 Any digital signalling will introduce a small amount of latency, and that any specific value will heavily depend on the connected display, graphics card, and cabling. Our tests show that no significant amount of latency was introduced by the docking station.

We've created a multi-monitor assistant guide that should show what the split screen software is capable of: sgcdn.startech.com/005329/media/sets/Multi-Monitor_Assistant_Software_User_Guide/Multi_Monitor_Assistant_SUG.pdf

Hi there! There is a Phillips screw at the bottom of each drive tray that would need to be removed in order to adjust the rubber drive holder.

@@startech thanks for the answer. You mean screws on the duplicator ? Can you show à video please ?

@@nemesedm.9622 0:21 of the video, you can see a Phillips screw on the bottom of each drive plate (near the bottom of the screen). Those screws would have to be removed for the plate to come off and the rubber holder to be adjusted.

@@startech okay thanks ;) We need just to remove the m2 plates or all the machine's plate ? Other question, are all hdd/ssd drives supported ? i can see hdd 2.5 sata, 3.5 sata, ssd2.5 sata, m2 nvme. Are the M2 sata also supported ? IDE to SATA adapters are included ? Or separated ?

@@startech okay, but can you show a video, to show the rubber adjustment please ?

USB-C ports that are data only should still support DisplayLink, as the video itself is not being outputted from your USB port's alt mode/DisplayPort capabilities but rather the dock or USB adapter that is running the DisplayLink chip.

Hi there! Yes, a telephone line is still required. This adapter turns a USB port into an RJ11 port, essentially allowing you to use it as a 56K fax/modem, but a POTS line is still required to plug into it to for it to communicate to the outside world.

Hello! Our hard drive duplicators perform a sector by sector copy, which means that the target drive must be the exact same size (down to the sector) or larger than the hard drive that is being copied. During a sector by sector copy, each individual sector is copied over to the target drive, regardless of whether or not any data is present. A 500 GB hard drive with 50 GB of data on it will take the same amount of time to copy as a 500 GB hard drive with 450 GB of data on it. We do carry other models that have LCD screens that provide additional settings such as File & System copy, or percentage copy but I would contact our support team to ensure you got the right product for your specific setup and use-case. 24/5 support team: You can call 1-800-265-1844.

Hi there! It should be similar to what is viewed by the human eye but you should note that some cameras use different style lenses (i.e. fish-eye, narrow, etc.) and may affect the way the privacy screen is perceived on screen. Our privacy screen videos are all filmed by camera so should give a good representation on how they look on screen :)

The DisplayLink chipsets we use in our video adapters and docking stations are bandwidth driven. So for example, if our DisplayLink adapter or dock can achieve triple 4K 60hz, it should also be able to support triple 1080p 120hz. 2K could be supported at 120hz, but there are a few variables like bitrate, actual resolution (2560x1440 or 2048x1080, etc.), as that would be very close to capping out the provided bandwidth. I would suggest contacting our support team for help regarding finding the right product for your specific setup and output needs. You can call 1-800-265-1844 for our 24/5 support.

Hello! These models use a 36W power adapter (12V 3A).

@@startech 12V / 3A. Thank you. Found a tossed out dual slot docking station, but no power supply nor USB cable! The USB cable I have, but maybe not a suitable power supply.

To connect three external displays through a single dock on a M3 Pro chip, while still using the laptop display, a great option to consider is this triple monitor model: www.startech.com/dk31c3hdpd

Additionally, please let me know if a keyboard or mouse connected to this KVM can wake up a Mac from clamshell mode?

This adapter works independently from your graphics cards displays so you shouldn't have any issues with that particular setup.

@@startech Great. Meaning I can have an extra.

As noted in this video and in our tech specs, this enclosure uses PCI Gen 3 at 8Gbps per SSD, which is another way of saying 1000MBps per drive. Considering several variables including system resources, drive health, etc., you should see values slightly below that.

The USB32HD4 / USBC2HD4 requires a connection to a computer with a video card (dedicated or integrated graphics) and a directly connected display to function. Note that this adapter is not designed for gaming and that it uses the internal video memory of the adapter card to provide HDMI displays and not your graphics card.

Hello! The USB-C port does not pass the DP alt-mode from the host PC, as this docking station uses DisplayLink video for its video outputs. If you do require additional video outputs, you can always look into our USB video adapters: www.startech.com/en-us/display-video-adapters Alternatively, there may be another model docking station that suites your specific needs.

Hello! Optical audio only has enough bandwidth to support uncompressed two channel audio (also known as lossless PCM, or LPCM). In order to send 5.1 (DD or DTS) or 7.1 (DTS) audio signals, the audio needs to be encoded into a compressed (lossy) signal. This requires three things: That the file or source disk being played has audio that is encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS. That the playback software supports bitstreaming the encoded signal (instead of decoding it in software). This may require downloading additional codecs (K-Lite Codec Pack is recommended). That the attach device (AV receiver) be able to decode the compressed DD or DTS signal. Playback software known to support bitstreaming are MPC (Media Player Classic), VLC Media Player, and Kodi.
