Getting started

Only some combinations of cables and adapters have been tested. See below for more information.
Once connected, ensure both the headset and the external display are powered on to start mirroring.
The external display will show both immersive and Passthrough environments.
DRM protected content will not be visible on the external display.
If connecting to the external display via HDMI, please note that you will need to use an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable.
Mirroring to an external display does not support audio output at this time.
