Re: MBA two external monitors
The MacBook Air has only got a Thunderbolt port, so it's not possible to connect more than one screen without that hub. Connecting two displays to the MBA requires two thunderbolt devices The first device can be either the Apple TB display or one of the Thunderbolt docks with a DVI / HDMI connector. Both of these options use the DisplayPort channel, so connecting a DisplayPort monitor to them won't work. This is where the second Thunderbolt device comes in (a hard disk or other device with two TB ports for pass-through). This acts as a man-in-the-middle and can extract a second DisplayPort signal. How to connect First up, you need to determine which port you have. Apple’s implemented quite a few different port types over the years and your iMac or MacBook it might feature any of the following: DVI HDMI Mini-DisplayPort Thunderbolt port USB Type-C Models support 2 display systems This KB-article lists the models that support up to 2 displays through one Thunderbolt port. MacBook Air (Mid 2012 and later) MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012 and later) MacBook Pro (15-inch and 17-inch, Early 2011 and later) iMac (Mid 2011 and later) Mac Mini (Mid 2011 and later) |
