Introduction
The USB32DPPRO USB 3.0 to DisplayPort® Multi Monitor Adapter functions as an
external DisplayPort video card, turning an available USB 3.0 port into a DisplayPort
output, with support for high resolution 2560x1600 video, and 5.1 surround sound
audio. The USB 3.0 DisplayPort adatper delivers a convenient, high-performance
external video solution that makes it easy to add multi-monitor capability to a
USB 3.0-enabled desktop or laptop computer (optimal performance from USB 3.0,
backward compatible with USB 2.0).
Leveraging the high-bandwidth (5 Gbps) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, the adapter
delivers smooth, high-denition content to your DisplayPort-capable display, and can
be used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display, or
to extend your desktop to double your workspace and increase your productivity.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Note: Connect a maximum of ve USB32DPPRO adapters on a single PC - See system
