The Thunderbolt 5 Dock that makes connecting your Mac to multiple displays easier than ever recently brought home two awards from the IBC 2026 show in Amsterdam.
The experts at CineD and Sound & Video Contractor tapped the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock With Dual HDMI as a Best of Show product.
CineD tapped the Thunderbolt 5 Dock WIth Dual HDMI with a Best-of-Show Award in the Camera Control and Accessories category. The publication praised the dock’s port selection, pointing out how the dock connects you to high-speed RAID storage, fast laptop charging, and SD cards — all while allowing you to connect two HDMI displays at up to 4K 240Hz or 8K 60HZ with DSC.
“For a DIT cart or an on-set edit station, that is the difference between one cable and a bag of dongles, and because the dock also works with Thunderbolt 4, USB4, USB-C, and Thunderbolt 3 Mac hosts, it does not force a laptop upgrade,” CineD says.
Meanwhile, Sound & Video Contractor noted that the dock’s inclusion in its Best of Show awards recognizes it as a top product based on “innovation, technical excellence, design and build quality, operational benefits, cost-effectiveness and potential to change the market.”
The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock With Dual HDMI is perfect for any multi-display Mac setup that requires HDMI. Whether you’re setting up a Mac video or audio editing suite, or you depend on multiple monitors for design, graphics, development, or spreadsheet work, this dock connects you to everything you need through a single cable.
The dock includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, a downstream Thunderbolt 5 port, five USB-C ports (two USB 3.2 10Gbps and three USB 3.2 5Gbps), three USB-A ports (one USB 3.2 10Gbps and two USB 3.2 5 Gbps), and a 2.5Gb Ethernet jack. There’s also an audio jack and UHS-II SD and microSD card readers.
