Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the LINDY 2 Port DisplayPort Splitter with expander function. This product
has been designed to provide trouble free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a LINDY 2 year
warranty and free lifetime technical support. To ensure correct use, please read this manual carefully
and retain it for future reference.This device is a high performance DisplayPort MST hub (Multi Stream
Transport) which allows one DisplayPort source to be shown simultaneously on 2 displays or similar as
an extended desktop across 2 displays. The MST hub splits the MST input signal into two single
streams to the individual monitors. It detects how many displays are connected and allows to send 2
monitor signals over one DP cable to the Splitter. The computer’s graphic card settings panel will show
2 monitors.
IMPORTANT:
The DP Expander splitter / MST hub can only work with DP 1.2 graphic cards, DP 1.1
input signals are not supported! This product is significantly different compared to VGA or HDMI
splitters!
