Compatibility
USB 3.1 Type-C Compatibility Overview
USB-C is a new standard with much versatility. As a result, compatibility information is complex. Some USB-C systems support Alt Mode video output, while others do not. Some can be powered and charged via USB-C Power Delivery, while others do not.
Information on specific system compatibility will be updated online as we test more systems internally, and we welcome compatibility reports from users as well.
Compatible Systems (Alt Mode & Power Delivery)
Some of the best examples of systems which currently support Alt Mode and Power Delivery are the Late 2016 / 2017 MacBook Pro, 12" Retina MacBook with USB-C, Dell XPS 13" 9350/9360, Dell XPS 15" 9550/9560*, Lenovo Yoga 720 13", Microsoft Surface Book 2, and most HP** Thunderbolt 3 systems.
Additional Compatibility
Partially Compatible Systems (Supporting Alt Mode or PD)
Many current USB-C systems which do support Alt Mode video output do not support charging via USB-C. Systems such as this will output video from the dock, but will still need their proprietary OEM chargers. *The Dell XPS 15 9550/9560 and Precision 5510/7510, for example, will display a warning during boot if connected to a 85W power adapter rather than a Dell 130W power adapter. These systems may still charge, but at a slower rate.
**HP systems will display a message upon connection when any non-HP USB-C charger is connected.
While some USB-C phones and tablets may accept charging via PD, most do not support Alt Mode video output.
Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports generally support Alt Mode video output, but support for Power Delivery/charging on these ports is system-specific.
Operating System & Platform Compatibility
Plug and Play installation on supported Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Windows or MacOS hosts.
Non-Compatible Systems
The UD-CAM relies upon new functionality introduced with USB 3.1 Type-C and as such is not compatible with USB 3.0/2.0 Type-A legacy systems.
Most current phones and tablets with USB-C ports do not support Alternate Mode video output, and some do not support USB Power Delivery. Consult your device documentation or contact device manufacturer to confirm compatibility with these technologies.
- Most Android phones and tablets currently do not support Alt Mode video output
- ASMedia USB 3.1 controllers do not support Alternate Mode video (typically found in desktops and AMD based laptops and some PC motherboards)
Power and Charging
The UD-CAM's power supply can charge host systems with up to 85 watts of power via the USB Power Delivery standard. As mentioned above, some devices which support video output over USB-C will not charge via USB-C. For these systems, the charger from your system manufacturer will be required.
