Hub Pro ‘HDMI’ ports overview

The two ‘HDMI’ ports on the Hub Pro are not treated the same by the software. For this reason, it matters where the video cable of the display is connected. More information on the designation of each port can be found in the following table:

PortInternal logicAdditional comments
‘HDMI 1’Full displayTransmits the complete video signal to the connected device.
‘HDMI 2’Extended displayTransmits a composite of windows or video streams. Meaning, only video signals internally marked as “available for a second screen” will be transmitted to this port.
How to connect
  1. Connect an ‘HDMI’ cable from the ‘HDMI in’ port of the display to the ‘HDMI 1’ port (reference 1) of the Base Unit.

    Tip: The display with the highest resolution must be connected to ‘HDMI 1’. ‘HDMI 2’ supports less resolutions compared to ‘HDMI 1’.

  2. Is the connected display a touch display?

    • If no, no further actions required.
    • If yes, connect a ‘USB’ cable from the display to one of the supported ‘USB’ ports (reference 2) of the Base Unit.
