Startech Usb To Dvi Adapter Drivers For Mac

While a docking station would be nice, plugging in 3 cords (Power, USB Hub and USB to DVI Adapter) isn't all that bad. *I'll try to report back in a month or two on.

This adapter has 50% more bandwidth than the previous adapter but only some computers can use the ne This adapter has 50% more bandwidth than the previous adapter but only some computers can use the new bandwidth. Read the Apple Support document HT207806 'About the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter' to see if your computer is one of them. Basically, you need to be able to output a two lane DisplayPort 1.4 signal (though I don't know how some of the listed computers can do that).
2560x1440 144Hz 8 bpc (bits per component) 4:4:4 or RGB (3 components per pixel) is too much bandwidth (604 MHz) for HDMI 2.0 (600 MHz) and this adapter has slightly less bandwidth (540 MHz) than HDMI 2.0.
MHz is a measure of the pixel clock. The bandwidth increases with the pixel clock and also the number of bits per component and the number of components per pixel.
You can increase max pixel clock to 648 MHz by reducing chroma subsampling to 4:2:2 (16 components per 8 pixels) while increasing color depth to 10 bpc.
Note that 4K 60 Hz HDMI timing is 594 MHz so it also requires reduced chroma subsampling or reduced color bit depth with this adapter (most computers don't have a 6 bpc option though).
Another option is to reduce blanking times so that pixel clock/bandwidth can be decreased for the same refresh rate. Displays require a certain amount of blanking time though. For example, some displays may accept a 4K 60Hz 533 MHz timing.
If this adapter is not sufficient then search for one that does not include 5 Gbps USB 3.0 which will then allow four lanes of DisplayPort. For example, adapters that use the MCDP2900 chip will have four lanes operating at 5.4 Gbps per lane which gives them 33% more bandwidth than this adapter that uses a chip that has two lanes at 8.1 Gbps.

Startech Usb Adapter

Connect a DVI display for an extended desktop multi-monitor USB solution. The USB2DVIPRO2 USB to DVI Adapter functions as an external graphics card for Windows and Mac computers - the perfect solution for turning your desktop or laptop computer into a dual or multi-monitor environment, all through the simplicity and convenience of USB.

Usb To Dvi Adapter Driver

The USB-DVI Adapter delivers high quality video (up to 1920x1200) for a variety of applications and is capable of simultaneously running up to five additional displays from a single computer (using four USB2DVIPRO2 External Video Adapters). The adapter connects to a host computer through a USB 2.0 port, acting as an external DVI video card to either extend or mirror the desktop shown on the existing display - without having to open the computer case.
