How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3-Port Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort MST Hub

• Step 1: Power down your computer (recommended) and connect the Mini DisplayPort output from your computer to the MST hub’s Mini DisplayPort input using a quality DP cable.
• Step 2: Run DisplayPort cables from each of the three hub outputs to your three monitors. Ensure each monitor has its own DisplayPort input and is powered on.
• Step 3: Power on your computer and monitors. The operating system should recognize the MST hub as an additional display adapter. If necessary, install or update graphics drivers to enable MST functionality.
• Step 4: Configure display settings in your OS. Use the display manager to extend or duplicate your desktop across the three monitors, arrange the monitor order to match your physical layout, and set the preferred resolutions and scaling for each display.
• Step 5: Fine-tune color, brightness, and layout. For best results, use high-quality DisplayPort cables of appropriate length and avoid excessive cable runs that could impact signal integrity. If you experience issues with MST, verify that your graphics card and driver support MST and enable MST in the graphics settings.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is MST and why would I use this hub? A: MST stands for Multi-Stream Transport. It allows a single video output to drive multiple monitors by creating independent video streams. This hub enables you to expand your workspace, improve multitasking, and enhance collaboration with three displays from one Mini DisplayPort source.
• Q: Can this hub run 4K on all three displays at once? A: The hub supports high-resolution output via DP 1.2, with up to 4K at 60 Hz per display on compatible systems. Actual performance depends on your GPU, host bandwidth, and monitor configurations. Expect optimal 4K 60 Hz on one or a subset of displays when using three monitors.
• Q: Is external power required? A: In most setups, the MST hub is powered through the DisplayPort connection (bus-powered) and does not require an external power adapter. Some configurations or higher bandwidth demands may require power considerations depending on the host system.
• Q: Is it compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux? A: Yes. The hub is designed to work across major operating systems that support DisplayPort MST, offering flexibility for mixed-OS environments commonly found in offices, schools, and home offices.
• Q: Do I need special software to enable MST? A: In many cases, MST is configured via the graphics driver settings or operating system display manager. Ensure your graphics driver is current and that MST is enabled in the driver control panel if you don’t see all three displays automatically.
