M series of chips have two kinds of display controllers, dcp and dcpext. Both kinds support

  • DP 1.4 (4 lanes) with DSC. No MST!
  • HDMI via dp2hdmi converter. See below for routing restrictions.
  • USB-C ports: DP altmode, or USB4 tunneling with 2 controllers max per port. See below for routing restrictions.

Controller-specific information:

Type Mode limits
dcp 5K, 60Hz, 10bpp (Apple-provided information, not tested)
dcpext 6K, 60Hz, 10bpp (Apple-provided information, not tested)

M1 routing restrictions:

Controller Internal display HDMI USB-C
dcp + +
dcpext +

M2 and later routing restrictions:

Controller Internal display HDMI USB-C
dcp + + +
dcpext + +

SoC-specific information:
