A technology that enables devices running a specific mobile operating system to output video through the USB-C port using the DisplayPort protocol. This allows connection to external monitors, projectors, and other display devices supporting DisplayPort, extending the device’s display capabilities. An example includes connecting a smartphone to a larger screen for presentations or gaming via a single USB-C cable.
This functionality offers significant benefits in terms of convenience and productivity. It reduces the need for multiple adapters and cables, streamlining the connection process. Historically, mobile devices often required proprietary adapters or protocols for video output. The adoption of this technology promotes standardization and simplifies connectivity, enhancing user experience and facilitating mobile workstation setups.
