Alt Mode

Video & Display

A USB-C feature that repurposes data pins to carry non-USB signals like DisplayPort or HDMI.

Alt Mode is what makes USB-C a true universal connector. DisplayPort Alt Mode sends native DP signals over USB-C pins, enabling direct video output without protocol conversion. HDMI Alt Mode and MHL Alt Mode also exist but are less common.
