2. Add a second monitor by connecting a DisplayPort cable between the DisplayPort OUT connector on the
primary monitor and the DisplayPort IN connector on a secondary multistream monitor or the
DisplayPort input connector on a secondary non-multistream monitor.
3. You can set the connected monitor to display the same image as the primary monitor or a dierent
image. In the OSD for the connected monitor, select Management > DisplayPort Output and select one
of the following:
a. DisplayPort 1.1 Compatibility Mode (default) - allows the same video image to be sent to all
monitors downstream of the monitor you are conguring
b. DisplayPort 1.2 - allows a dierent image to be sent to all monitors downstream of the monitor
you are conguring
4. After setting the DisplayPort Compatibility Mode in the OSD, use the computer operating system's
display settings to set the display mode for the secondary monitor to either mirror the image of the
primary display or extend the second display for a dierent image from the primary display.
If you wish to connect additional monitors downstream (up to four maximum), all but the nal monitor in the
chain must support DisplayPort multstreaming.
Connect from the DisplayPort OUT of one monitor to the DisplayPort IN of the next, until you have the desired
number of displays.
If you want dierent information on each screen be sure that all upstream monitors are congured to
DisplayPort 1.2 mode, as described above.
The number of monitors you can connect through DisplayPort multistreaming depends on a number of
factors, including the resolutions and scan rates used for each monitor and the capabilities of your GPU or
embedded graphics system. Check the manual that came with your graphics card for further information on
its capabilities.
