WHAT IS THE TRI-SCREEN ADAPTER 2?
The new Xebec Tri-Screen Adapter enables you to connect ANY laptop to the Tri-Screen 2 with just a single cable per screen. Simply download and install the free Displaylink driver, plug one end of the adapter into any standard USB-A port on your laptop and plug the other end into the Tri-Screen.
