①
MDP OUT 1~3: Connect these slots with the output displays Mini
DisplayPort input port in order to send a signal.
Note:
It is suggested to use the same type/model of display in order to
get optimal image quality. When the input source’s timing
is matched with the output display’s timing, the device will
first extend the image according to the specifications of the
connected output display. If the input sources timing does not
match the output display’s timing the device will then split the
signal to match the number of the connected display to show an
identical image. (Detail information please refer to section 8. Timing
table for monitors).
