thunderbolt – Verify decision of 2013 Mac Professional driving an Apple Studio Show


I’ve a 2013 Mac Professional that’s working macOS Sequoia (by way of OCLP). This Mac Professional helps Thunderbolt 2. I linked my Mac Professional to an Apple Studio Show, which requires Thunderbolt 3, with these two connectors:

  1. Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 2 (Amazon: Apple Thunderbolt 2 Cable (0.5 m)). I plug this cable into my Mac Professional.
  2. Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 (Apple: Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter). I plug the cable above into this cable, after which I plug this cable into the again of the Studio Show.

The show activates and the whole lot appears to work apart from the digicam.

How can I examine the output decision and refresh charge of the show? I run system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType in Terminal and I see the output under, which appears to point the show is working at 5K, however I believe the show is definitely working at 4K upscaled.
