Compatibility & notes
The dock requires a USB‑C host port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery 2.0/3.0 for full functionality. Driver installation is required on macOS and Windows — Windows may automatically fetch drivers if the host has network access and admin rights. Performance for multiple displays depends on your CPU/GPU: j5create lists recommended system specs for smooth playback with two 2K displays. Check your laptop’s specifications for DisplayPort Alt Mode support before purchase. ([info.j5create.com](https://info.j5create.com/pages/jcd542-specifications))
