Field notes
DisplayBridge uses one identical 6 MB application on both Macs rather than separating host and viewer roles. The page describes a direct Thunderbolt connection, with the receiving Mac showing the sender’s picture while the app reports resolution, frame rate, and delay. It claims native 5K at 60 Hz on a Retina iMac, 120 Hz on a recent MacBook Pro, and support for dual 5K screens from one MacBook Pro using two cables.
