What does this symbol on a docking station mean?
Mrs. jsnydcsa recently received a new Dell docking station. It had the following two ports with a symbol below that I must candidly admit I've never seen nor noticed before.
What does this symbol mean?
Can anyone help identify, please?
Thanks.

Dual mode display port, basically you can use a cheap passive adapter to physically convert the pins to HDMI or DVI.
(If you have special requirements like DVI-dual link for higher resolution, then you need an active adapter to convert to HDMI/DVI, active adapter cost much more since there's a chip in it to do conversion

I have seen Display Port, and some of my monitors supported it, but I always used thunderbolt.
