Mac Pro 2013 does not support more than two displays?
The advertising claims 6 monitors can be attached to the six MiniDisplayport-compatible Thunderbolt 2 ports.
No problem with my 2 HD 21" DVI screens-- the MDPort-to-DVI adapters work fine in the Thunderbolt ports.
Now we come to the 27" LG 4K UHD HDMI monitor, what we in the editing trade would call "the client monitor" because it has calibrate-able color.
First I tried the supplied LG HDMI cable direct.
No signal. Auto shutdown.
Then I try the MDPort-to-HDMI adapter, still on bus 0, while the work monitors share the Bus 1 pair. Because I know from research that you cannot support more than two monitors per Thunderbolt bus.
Okay! The 4K lights up, it's beautiful-- and now one of my dual work screens has gone dark.
Just three monitors, all adapters supplied by Apple. That's all I ask. It is promised in Apple specs.
Anyone else?
