TRIPP-LITE U444-3H-MST USB-C Adapter
USB-C to HDMI adapter connects 3 HDMI 4K displays to the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your MacBook Pro or Windows laptop.
Features
USB-C to HDMI Adapter Connects Three 4K HDMI Displays to Your USB-C
Device
This USB adapter connects three independent HDMI monitors, projectors and/or
televisions to the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on your MacBook Pro, Chromebook
or Windows laptop. It’s an ideal connector for creating video walls, giving
video presentations in conference rooms and classrooms, editing multiple
documents on a larger screen, or streaming video for digital signage in
crystal-clear 4K.
Supports USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode for Converting Audio/Video
Signals
By connecting the built-in USB-C cable to a source device that supports USB
DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to HDMI
monitors, televisions or projectors without installing special software
drivers. Note: To achieve 4K resolution, the source device should support DP
1.4 Alt Mode. When a monitor is connected to a DP 1.2 Alt Mode source, the
corresponding resolution will be decreased due to bandwidth limitation. When
using a Windows OS source, the maximum triple output is x1 4K/60 Hz and x2
4K/30 Hz outputs. When using a macOS source, the maximum triple output is x3
4K/60 Hz outputs.
DisplayPort SST and MST Modes Allow Connection of Multiple Displays
By connecting the USB-C adapter to a source that supports DisplayPort Single-
Stream Transport (SST) or Multi-Stream Transport (MST) mode, you may connect
up to three displays simultaneously. This allows you to display the same image
on all monitors, extend your host desktop across all with different windows
open on each, or combine all into one large display as a video wall.
Enjoy the Clarity of True 4K Video with HDR, 4:4:4 Color and 7.1-Channel
Audio
This USB to HDMI adapter supports Ultra HD video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160
(4K x 2K) at 60 Hz with 7.1-channel surround sound. High Dynamic Range (HDR)
provides a wide range of vibrant colors with richer contrast, brighter whites
and deeper blacks that pop on your 4K display. HDCP 2.2 compliance allows you
to stream 4K Amazon and Netflix content with no complications. This adapter
also supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for top-level PC gaming or using your
HDTV as a PC monitor.
Ready to Use Right from the Package, So You Can Plug and Play Immediately
The adapter requires no software or external power. Just connect the USB-C
cable to the USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port on a source device that supports USB
DisplayPort Alternate Mode, and connect the HDMI ports to your displays with
user-provided cables (such as Tripp Lite’s P568-XXX-2A Series cables).
