Laptop -> Monitor 1 -> DisplayPort or USB-C Cable -> Monitor 2 System76-tested docks A set up with daisy-chaining would look something like the diagram below: If you already have, or have access to the monitor, you can also verify by checking for a DisplayPort output on the monitor, in addition to the normal DisplayPort inputs. MST is often an advertised feature, so check the marketing material or store page for your monitor. This requires that the monitor hardware to support daisy-chaining. If you plan to use MST, make sure the hub or dock explicitly mentions MST support.Īlternatively, you can also use MST to daisy-chain two or more monitors together from the laptop or a docking station. Most DisplaytPort outputs support MST, but not all docking stations use this technology to provide multiple display outputs. MST is a feature of the DisplayPort standard, so is available on Displayport, Mini-DisplayPort and DisplayPort over USB-C (USB Alt-Mode) connections. Multi-Stream Transport (MST) is a DisplayPort standard allowing multiple video streams to be sent through a single DisplayPort output on your computer or device. For example, connecting a docking station with two HDMI ports to a Thunderbolt port on a System76 laptop may only activate one HDMI monitor. Even if the docking station supports multiple video ports, only one at a time could be active. However, depending on the technology used by the dock, there may be only one video stream per port. Many docking stations offer multiple video-out ports on the dock device itself. Be sure you purchase docking stations from a reputable vendor, with a flexible return policy. System76 cannot guarantee that all vendors will follow USB-C or Thunderbolt specs, nor that a manufacturer won't have made hardware or firmware changes since this article was created.
