text_image USB-C PD charger USB-C to PC/Notebook HDMI (1st Display) HDMI (2nd Display) DP (2nd Display) VGA (3rd Display) Ethernet (LAN) DC Power Jack

Please Note!!! The 2nd HDMI port is shared with the DisplayPort port so it cannot be used simultaneously. You will need to choose which port you wish to use: HDMI or DisplayPort.

3.0 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 AC7045 will not be able to display video onto your Display(s).

3.1 Single Monitor

For the single monitor setup, the AC7045 Docking station supports a max. resolution of 4K @ 30Hz via HDMI or DisplayPort (DP) or when using VGA a max. resolution of 1080p @ 60Hz.

3.2 Dual Monitor (SST/MST)

For the dual monitor setup, the AC7045 Docking station supports a max. resolution of 4K @ 30Hz on HDMI or DisplayPort (DP), or when using VGA a max. resolution of 1080p @ 60Hz.

3.3 Triple Monitor (SST/MST)

For the triple monitor setup, the AC7045 Docking station supports a max. resolution of 1080p @ 60Hz on HDMI or DisplayPort (DP) and VGA.

3.4 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.

3.5 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.

If your notebook supports DP alt mode (DisplayPort alternate mode) it also supports MST. In this case the AC7045 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 AC7045 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).

3 X X 1080P/60Hz
4 1080P/60Hz 1080P/60Hz X

6 X 1080P/60Hz 1080P/60Hz
7 1080P/60Hz 1080P/60Hz 800x600/60Hz

4.0 Power Delivery

The AC7045 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 AC7045 (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.

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 AC7045:

5.0V 3.0A 15.0W
9.0V 2.22A 20.0W
12.0V 3.0A 36.0W
15.0V 2.5A 37.5W
20.0V 5.0A 100.0W
