• Built for What's Next: Supports dual HDMI displays at up to 4K 240Hz or dual 8K 60Hz with DSC on Thunderbolt 5 hosts. A third display is possible via Thunderbolt or USB-C. This dock won't become a bottleneck when you upgrade your setup.

“When some of the best and most respected voices in our industry independently look at a product and all agree that it stands out, that means a lot,” said Chris Kooistra, Vice President of Marketing, Other World Computing (OWC). “CineD, ProVideo Coalition, and Sound & Video Contractor know this market, they know the technology, and most importantly, they understand what professionals actually need to get their work done. To have all three recognize the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock with Dual HDMI at IBC is tremendous validation that we got this right.” He continued, “It was built from the ground up to eliminate the everyday friction that gets in the way of great work – and, it’s incredibly rewarding to see that resonate with the people who know this industry so well.”
