Supported Video Resolutions
Thunderbolt technology supports both video and data throughput. However, it
prioritizes video bandwidth to help ensure seamless display performance. The
performance of the remaining Docking Station functions depends entirely on the
display conguration you used.
The Docking Station supports the follow maximum resolutions:

• 3840 x 2160p resolution, found on most standard 4K Displays, is also a fully
supported resolution.
• Depending on the conguration and the supported resolutions of your connected
Display Device(s), the Docking Station can support video resolutions lower than
specied above.
• In a multi-display conguration, set the refresh rates on each of your connected
monitors to the same values, otherwise the Display Devices might not properly
display.

Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing issues, there are some quick tests that you can complete to
narrow down the source of the issue.
Update The Host Laptop to Use Thunderbolt 3
• Visit http://thunderbolttechnology.net/updates and look for your computer in
the list of aected computers. If your computer is listed, then you must update
your computer for its Thunderbolt 3 ports to function properly. To update your
computer, follow the instructions on the website or contact your manufacturer.
Verify That the Components are Thunderbolt 3 Compliant
• Make sure that the port on your computer is Thunderbolt 3 compliant. Thunderbolt
3 uses the USB-C connector type, but not all USB-C connectors are compatible with
Thunderbolt 3. If you are using a USB-C port that is not Thunderbolt 3 compliant,
switch to a port that is Thunderbolt 3 compliant.
Test the Thunderbolt Peripheral
1. Use a second Thunderbolt peripheral, and see if it works. Ideally, the second
peripheral is one that you know works in other setups. If the second peripheral
works in the current setup, then there is probably an issue with the rst Thunderbolt
peripheral.
2. Use the Thunderbolt peripheral with a second setup. If it works in the second setup,
then there is probably an issue with the rst setup.
