The Audio In/Out ports are a handy way to keep your speakers and microphones connected.

High Performance Display

The use of DisplayPort as the video output of choice on the TS3 allows users the ability to choose their preferred display. With use of a DisplayPort to HDMI, DVI or VGA cable, users can add any monitor they want. If you’re looking to use the latest high resolution displays such as 4K@60Hz and 5K@60Hz, the TS3’s use of Thunderbolt™ 3 technology has allowed this to be possible.

Dual Monitors

For users who need dual 4K monitors, they can connect a USB-C to HDMI/DVI/VGA video cable to the second Thunderbolt™ 3 port and take advantage of a dual monitor set-up.

Extended or Mirrored

Users have the option of using two monitors in either an extended or mirrored desktop.

Thunderbolt™ 3 Daisy-Chain

The dual Thunderbolt™ 3 ports allows users to daisy-chain extra Thunderbolt™ 3 Type-C devices. In fact users can connect up to 6 devices, such as the CalDigit T4 RAID, to one computer’s Thunderbolt™ 3 port. This means that users can add a Thunderbolt™ 3 monitor, or any other Thunderbolt™ 3 device to the second Thunderbolt™ 3 port for added convenience.

Horizontal or Vertical

The beauty of the TS3’s design allows users to choose how the device is displayed on their desk. Traditionally docks are only available in a horizontal orientation. The TS3’s design is flexible and can be used in either orientation.
