Docks vs Hubs - Whats the Difference?

Whether you are an on-the-go creative or working in a studio environment and require expanded connectivity with added storage, OWC has a dock or hub for you.

Thanks for the video. Great to know so far. Then I can also connect a dock, e.g. StayGo from "Twelvesouth" to an OWC TB4 Hub?

Great video, and I got the point very quickly. Could be a bit brighter where you're recording though haha

Great Video!! So I have an older Macbook pro (2015) with 2 USB-A ports. I have 2 cameras. A canon 90D DSLR as my main, and a logitech c920 as my overhead (using Camlink 4k). These work great with ECAMM thanks to your videos. My problem lies with the Rodecaster Pro II that I'll be adding to my studio. Given that I only have 2 USB-A ports that I'm already using for my two camera inputs, I'll be forced to eliminate the overhead USB cam to make room for the Rodecaster Pro USB audio input. I'm aware that I could run audio from the Rodecaster (monitor out) 1/4 inch to 3.5mm into my Cannon, and then into the Mac via HDMI to Camlink/USB-A. This would leave me with the second USB-A port availible, however everything I've seen suggests that running audio out of the Rodecaster and into a camera mic input isn't the best way to go. This is why I'm considering going with an ATEM Mini Pro I could combine both cameras (TAO converter tor USB cam) into the ATEM mini and into my Mac and then the Rodecaser into the second USB-A port via USB-C/USB-A adapter. I was just hoping you could shed some light on what OWC product is available (hubs, docs) that would allow me to use muliple cameras (4 max) with the Rodecaster Pro II and Ecamm. I'm not ready to upgrade my Mac yet so making my Mac Ports limitations (2 USB-A, 2 thunderbolt-2, 1 HDMI) work has been difficult to get info on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have the Pro Version of Ecamm Live and i love it. -Blessings

I'm sorry, all I could think of was "what's the deal with this guy's mustache?"

[fabiolosito]

Can i connect a 10 gigabit ethernet adapter thunderbolt 3 to this hub to share the internet connection with the PC with USB ? Thank you

[tomz]

Hello and thanks-
Is it possible to use 2 or 3 USB microphones at the same time that are plugged into a hub or dock?

[superbnva]

Do i need to use the dual usb c input perse?

[RenatoT-sivv]

Any recommendation for a hub or dock that can allow me to connect: usb dongle, headphone dongle, HDMI for the monitor, USB cable keyboard and if possible, the USB C power cord of my laptop.
With my current hub, if I connect everything the sound quality (input and output) is very bad, and I have to connect the headset dongle to the laptop.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, maybe I am asking too much for a hub/dock to do.

Can you connect a docking station to desktop pc?

[johnmiller]

Thank you. One thing I am struggling with is that almost every thunderbolt hub advertises its ability to run "dual 4k monitors at 60hz" but none make any mention of a single 4k monitor at 120hz. Is there some technical limitation preventing this support, or is it generally supported and just not mentioned?

[maxkovalchuk]

if my type-c doesn't support video output, should I only buy doc station or hub will fit too?

[cyliemyrus]

My dude, you need some studio lights or something, it's so dark.

[d.kyrstede]

I have 2 ports for my pc Desktop gaming computer. I want to use at least 2 pc controllers so my nephew can play with me so I need a splitter for for them. I have no idea what to look for. Any ideas?. I'm using one of the ports for my mouse and keyboard combo.

[braydooon]

What is the advantage to getting a thunderbolt hub vs a usb-c hub?

[SirKnight]

Quick question. WIll the Asus TUF 15 fx506hcb be compatible to any of the docks? Thinking of expanding my work station soon.
