On January 6, 2020, Huion released the Huion Kamvas 13, which is the first pen display that supports one-cable connection. Except for the regular 3-in-1 USB-C port transporting HDMI signal, the Huion Kamvas 13 also equips a full-featured USB-C port transporting DP signal. With this port, you can connect the pen display to a computer or Android device via a full-featured USB-C to USB-C cable.

Technical Requirements for Devices

Before you purchase the mentioned Huion pen displays, please note there are some technical requirements for the devices you use.

• The USB-C port of the phones, tablets, and computers at least supports USB3.1 GEN1 data transfer protocol and DP1.2 Alt mode
• The full-featured USB-C to USB-C cable at least supports USB3.1 GEN1 data transfer protocol and DP1.2 Alt mode (You can only use the Huion USB-C to USB-C cable on Kamvas 13. But you can use the cable from other brands on Kamvas 22 and Kamvas 22 Plus.)

Method to Tell If Devices Meet the Requirements

1. Check if the USB-C port of your devices support Thunderbolt 3

If the USB-C port support Thunderbolt 3, it can support USB3.1 GEN1 data transfer protocol and DP1.2 Alt Mode. You can look for the little lightning bolt symbol next to the opening, which often differentiates it from a standard USB-C port.

Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface developed by Intel. It shares USB-C connectors with USB, and can require special "active" cables for maximum performance for cable lengths over 0.5 meters (1.5 feet). Compared to Thunderbolt 2, it doubles the bandwidth to 40 Gbit/s (5 GB/s), allowing up to 4-lane PCIe 3.0, 8-lane DisplayPort 1.2, and USB 3.1 10 Gbit/s.

From Wikipedia: Thunderbolt (interface)

You can also check the list of devices that support Thunderbolt 3 from the THUNDERBOLT website.

2. Check if the USB-C ports of your devices support:

• Charging
• USB 3.1 Gen 1 (up to 5 Gbps)
• Native DisplayPort 1.2 video output (DisplayPort over USB Type-C)

All USB-C ports support charging. But not all USB-C ports support USB3.1 Gen 1 and DisplayPort over USB Type-C. USB Type-C connectors that support the USB 3.1 Gen 1 normally include the below corresponding USB symbol.

USB Type-C connectors that support the DisplayPort over USB Type-C will normally include the DisplayPort (DP) logo near the connector.

You can also check the list of devices that support DisplayPort over USB Type-C from the DisplayPort website.

3. Read the manual of your devices or ask technical support to confirm the USB-C port technical standards of your devices
