4.0 Monitor setup
Your USB-C device needs to support DP-Alternate mode or Thunderbolt™3 on its
USB-C port in order to display your video output to 1 or more displays. Check the
technical specifications of your USB-C device if it supports DP-Alternate mode or
Thunderbolt™3. If the device does not support DP-Alternate mode or Thunderbolt™3,
the AC7046 will not be able to display video onto your Display(s).
Please Note!!! For the AC7046 to be able to display the max resolution of 4K on all
three monitors your PC/Notebook needs to support additionally DP1.4 and DSC
6 | ENGLISH
please check the technical specs of your PC/Notebook if DSC and DP1.4 is
supported.
4.1 Single Monitor
For the single monitor setup, the AC7046 Docking station supports a max. resolution
of 4K @ 60Hz via HDMI or DisplayPort (DP).
4.2 Dual Monitor (SST/MST)
For the dual monitor setup, the AC7046 Docking station supports a max. resolution of
4K @ 60Hz on HDMI or DisplayPort (DP).
4.3 Triple Monitor (SST/MST)
For the triple monitor setup, the AC7046 Docking station supports a max. resolution of
2x 4K @ 30Hz on HDMI or DisplayPort (DP) and the 3rd monitor on 1080P @ 60Hz if
DSC is not supported by your laptop. If your laptop does support DSC you will be able
to use a max. resolution of 4K @ 60Hz on all three displays.
4.4 SST (Single Stream Transport)
With SST (Single Stream Transport) the connected screens will only show a clone
(copy) of your main screen on the connected screens.
4.5 MST (Multi Stream Transport)
MST is part of the DisplayPort 1.2 standard, with which monitors and computers can
support "daisy-chaining". You usually recognize daisy-chaining when the monitor has
both a DisplayPort input and output. You can connect the first monitor to the computer
and the second monitor to the first monitor. If both the monitor and the computer
support MST daisy-chaining, the two screens work as separate screens. Exactly as if
they were connected directly to the computer.
7 | ENGLISH
If your notebook supports DP alt mode (DisplayPort alternate mode) it also supports
MST. In this case the AC7046 will work as a USB-C to MST adapter. You will be able
to use the multiple video outputs. The connected screens will be recognized as
separate screens on your laptop / PC and can be used as an extended desktop.
Windows 10 has a short key to switch between the different display modes:
Use: “Windows key + P” an overview of display modes is displayed on your screen.
Please Note!!! MacOS does not support MST Daisy chaining. MacOS only supports
Daisy chaining with the Thunderbolt™3 standard. So the AC7046 will not provide the
desired result for macOS devices. In this case the connected screens only show a
clone (copy) of your main screen on the connected screens also called SST (Single
Stream Transport).
5.0 Power Delivery
The AC7046 supports Power Delivery (PD) on the USB-C port. This protocol enables
your notebook to be charged safely over one single USB-C cable. One footnote: all
devices within the power chain must support Power Delivery. Including the USB-C
cables. The devices and cables have built-in chips that communicate with each other
to decide the best PD profile to ensure a safe power delivery.
For example, if you connect a 45.0W USB-C charger to the AC7046 (supports PD
profiles up to 100.0W) and your notebook supports a USB-C PD profile of max.
65.0W. The max. power that will be provided to your notebook is 45.0W.
If for some reason in the example above, the USB-C cable is exchanged by a USB-C
cable which does not support PD (no built-in chip), your notebook will not be charged.
Besides this all, USB-C with PD enables charging in two directions. For example, you
can charge your smartphone with your tablet, but also your tablet with your
smartphone.
8 | ENGLISH
Which Power Delivery profiles are available? 5.0V, 9.0V, 12.0V, 15.0V and 20.0V.
What max. Power Delivery profiles are supported by the AC7046:
5.0V 3.0A 15.0W
9.0V 3.0A 27.0W
12.0V 3.0A 36.0W
15.0V 3.0A 45.0W
20.0V 5.0A 100.0W
