I got the dual HDMI adapter and both displays are connected, however, it appears that in my Display settings only 1 monitor is detected, so its extending the same screen on both displays, rather than extending across 3 screens like I’ve done in the past and am looking to do now. I’m searching online for the answer, and I figured I’d also tell you in case you know an easy solution 😊 Thank you! Have a beautiful day

A dual HDMI adapter will not work, you will need a DisplayLink compatible hub as DisplayLink is doing all the work here.

@@SeansCreativeStudio Beloved, this list is so long and I dont know which would be right for me - it's like another language. I have a MacBook Air bought last fall - new. I have a Satechi dock which I then used a dual HDMI to connect to my two monitors. They are both on and connected, just not showing multiple, different image: only showing the same image produced twice (once on each monitor). I wonder if you can tell me which dock would be correct? The side of the MacBook connects with USBC and charger only. headphone jack on the other side. Thank you so much

I had a 2015 Mac that worked fantastic on it's own but could not support this. So I went out and purchased a new Mac M3, 2 monitors and cables to boot. I've been trying to get this to work for a week with no avail. I love Mac's for so many things but this is absolutely not one of them. I'm about $2k deep into this endeavor without successs, makes me want to smash everything with a hammer, repeatedly.

It looks great, though as has been the case with Irix ciné lenses, it’s hard to invest if they don’t have a range of lenses proven to work. Maybe the 30mm will cover the GFX sensor. The 15mm ciné vignettes on a Canon full frame sensor in photo mode, and it’s taken them so long to bring the 65mm ciné to market, the Irix ciné range hasn’t been viable for many folk until very recently, with such a jump from 45mm to 150mm.

You need a hub that has DisplayLink support. Some of the M3 Max etc now support multiple monitors without a hub but the method in the video needs a DisplayLink hub. Theres a bunch of them in the link in the video description if you are looking for the right one.

Either the usb port is not working, or the usb port isnt set up for handling an external display. I wanted to ask you if you think me getting some kind of hub could fix my problem or should i be looking elsewhere?
