Spanning, Closed Lid, And Resolutions
We received a message from one our backers letting us know that his work mate wasn't convinced our video showing the HydraDock Mini DisplayPort to LED Cinema Display connection was actually real — because we never dragged anything from the Cinema Display into the MacBook display. So, here is a quick new video showing just that being done, as well as another closed lid operation. (forgive the quick iPhone video...)
Display Resolutions
The HydraDock reads an attached display's EDID signal, and looks for the indicated resolution in a lookup table of supported resolutions, for both the Mini DisplayPort jack and the HDMI jack — and generates an EDID for that resolution back to the MacBook. Our factory sent along the below list of supported resolutions and refresh rates for HDMI and Mini DisplayPort when connected to a 2015 Retina MacBook, so we thought we would share.
HydraDock supports the following HDMI resolutions:
- 1024x768 @ 60Hz
- 1280x720 @ 60Hz
- 1280x768 @ 60Hz
- 1280x800 @ 60Hz
- 1366x768 @ 60Hz
- 1440x900 @ 60Hz
- 1280x1024 @ 60Hz
- 1600x900 @ 60Hz
- 1400x1050 @ 60Hz
- 1600x1200 @ 60Hz
- 1920x1080 @ 60Hz
- 1920x1200 @ 60Hz
- 2048x1152 @ 60Hz
- 2560x1080 @ 60Hz
- 2560x1440 @ 30Hz
- 2560x1600 @ 30Hz
- 2560x2048 @ 30Hz
- 2800x2100 @ 30Hz
- 3200x2048 @ 30Hz
- 3200x2400 @ 30Hz
- 3440x1440 @ 30Hz
- 3840x2160 @ 30Hz
- 4096x2304 @ 30Hz

Matt. That is a typo in the HDMI column. Everything above 3,000x2,000 should show 30Hz refresh rate.

Have you tried 3840x2160 at 60Hz on a 2015 Retina MacBook (12")? The resolution chart above says it is supported but the Apple site says it only works at 30Hz.
Thank you

Hi Uwe,
We are pausing on predictions at the moment until we get the production sample approved and get firm schedules from the factory. We are hopeful it goes quickly, given all the parts for a 1500 unit production run are sitting there on site.

Hi,
If all goes well next week, what are you thoughts on projected delivery times. E.g manufacturing start, assembly and shipping. Would be great to get the dock before Christmas :-). Great work on some engineering groundwork.
Kind Regards, Uwe
