Multi-stream technology – the ultimate capacity to feed independent video displays from a single desktop output – is becoming more popular among consumers looking for the finest visual experience with DisplayPort 1.2 capable products. Due to the increasing number of DisplayPort 1.2 enabled PCs hitting the market, it is expected that multi-stream enabled display equipment, such as to monitor hubs and daisy-chainable displays, would become more commonly available.
The daisy-chaining method involves connecting all the devices that can request an interrupt in a serial manner. This configuration is governed by the priority of the devices. The device with the highest priority is placed first followed by the second-highest priority device and so on.
