Doesn't work the way you think.

This product allows you to connect multiple monitors to a single display port and play video on each monitor. It is quite suitable for this. The problem arises when you decide to do something that any normal PC user would probably do, e.g. B. Shut down, restart or hibernate the computer. If you do this, the device will not return when the computer resumes or boots up. If you try to turn the device off and on again while the computer is running, other connected displays freeze and the computer becomes unusable until the device is turned off. The workaround for this seems to be to power cycle the device. when the computer is asleep or turned off. When you do that, it seems to come back with no problems. Still annoying to deal with. That didn't seem right so I contacted the manufacturer's support and they replied that this is a normal job because their instructions say to make sure everything is powered off before "installing" (I was surprised (that I put my computer to sleep or turn it off was called "Setting" which is quite odd.) They also recommended turning the device off and back on after a reboot, which I told them in the original ticket , caused other ads to freeze. They also recommended changing the USB power/sleep setting, which is about 0% useful for a non-USB device. So your support is as good as the product, for what
