2. Additional HDMI Port Options

HDMI and powering the display


If you don’t have an HDMI port available you can use an adapter for a digital connection such as DVI or Display port. 

 

First, connect the USB-C ports to power the display and then connect the HDMI. 


The controller’s display also works when connected via a USB to HDMI adapter in case you are on a laptop or computer with limited HDMI outputs. 


The Wavlink Model: WL-UG6902H USB-A/USB-C to Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz Display Adapter works on the Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows and it is generally available from online marketplaces.


Do not use a USB-C to USB-C (thunderbolt) cable to connect the display on a thunderbolt port on the computer and connect an HDMI at the same time. It will cause the computer to see the controller’s monitor twice and will create conflicts. You can connect either the HDMI or a thunderbolt, but not both.



USB-C docking station recommendations


For newer Macs with few or no USB ports, we recommend getting a docking station, here are some suggestions

In this example we are using a Satechi multiport docking station
