PIN1	MODE
OFF	MST
ON	SST

SST: All the output screen is the same single.

MST: Extend the single video source to all outputs.
※At MST mode the highest output resolution will decrease because the total bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps is shared among all monitors.

※When the mode select is ready, please restart the power or pressing Reset Key

Installation

1. Connect the DP cable with the PC and the port
2. Connect the DP cable with the monitor and the ports
3. Connect the power cord and turn on the DP-1x2-II
4. Turn on the PC and monitor

EDID

DisplayPort splitters do not have capability of storing the EDID, so EDID is passed from the display to the source. When there are two displays, it will use whichever the EDID is sent first, it will use that EDID. If you remove the displays from the splitter, the splitter will keep the last EDID until power cycle.

Compatibility Tests

Due to the different interpretations of DisplayPort modes by different major graphics accelerator companies, it is important to provide detail compatibility test data as follows,
