Will there be no DL-6000 series docking stations that can drive three monitors?

Hi,

the DL-6000 series product page says:

This allows direct support for DP and HDMI monitors, the most prevalent interfaces. Since the HDMI 2.0 outputs are present this allows connection to HDMI 2.0 or earlier HDMI 1.x interfaces. [...]

Does that mean that there will be no DL-6000 docking stations that will be able to drive three monitors simultaneously (like the older DL-5910 could for example)?

Hello,
Thanks for your interest!
The DL-5910 is a dual chip design which can share resource between the chips.
Manufacturers will be able to do dual chip designs the same way with the DL-6000 series.
They probably won't do it with DL-6950 reference, but another one.
They could also combine a DL-6950 and DL-165, for example. It's a matter of his many consumers/corporations ask for it.
Kind regards,
Alban
