Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar (2023)
Bose's premium single-bar solution delivers Dolby Atmos through an HDMI eARC connection — but there is no HDMI input for passthrough, so all sources must connect directly to your TV. The rear panel features four 3.5mm jacks for Bose-specific accessories: a Bass port for a wired subwoofer connection, an ADAPTiQ port for the included room calibration headset, an IR receiver port, and a service data port. A USB-C port is reserved for service use only.
This compact Dolby Atmos soundbar connects to your TV via HDMI eARC or optical — both cables are included in the box. When using eARC, it supports lossless Dolby TrueHD and full Dolby Atmos; optical connections are limited to Dolby Digital 5.1 and compressed Atmos via Dolby Digital Plus. There is no HDMI passthrough input, so all source devices must plug directly into your TV.
CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock (2018)
The CalDigit TS3 Plus is a 15-port Thunderbolt 3 docking station that charges your laptop at up to 87W while expanding to a complete desktop setup from a single cable. A key connectivity strength is its dedicated DisplayPort 1.2 output alongside the Thunderbolt 3 port, enabling two 4K displays simultaneously without adapters. On the front you'll find a UHS-II SD card reader, USB-C Gen 1 port, and separate analog audio in/out jacks — useful for studio setups. The rear USB-C Gen 2 port (10 Gbps) is data-only with no power delivery, so plan accordingly for bus-powered devices.
CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock (2022)
The CalDigit TS4 is an 18-port Thunderbolt 4 docking station that delivers the most ports of any Thunderbolt dock, including three Thunderbolt 4 ports, five USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and three USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports. A built-in DisplayPort 1.4 output and two downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports support up to 8K at 30Hz on a single display or dual 6K at 60Hz. The dock provides up to 98W power delivery to the connected host laptop. Dual UHS-II card readers — one full-size SD and one microSD — sit on the front panel for fast media access.
Canon's versatile full-frame mirrorless excels at both stills and video with 40fps electronic shutter bursts and 6K oversampled 4K 60p recording. The Micro HDMI (Type D) output delivers clean video to external recorders, though you'll need a secure cable clip since the small connector can be fragile on set. Canon's USB-C port runs at a genuine 10Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2) — a notable upgrade over earlier Canon bodies that used USB 2.0 speeds despite having a USB-C connector. UVC/UAC support means it doubles as a Full HD webcam without extra software.
Canon's lightweight full-frame mirrorless shares the same 24.2MP sensor and DIGIC X processor as the R6 Mark II in a more compact, affordable body aimed at hybrid shooters. Like its sibling, the Micro HDMI (Type D) port delivers clean 4K 60p video output — invest in a cable clip for reliability during shoots. The USB-C port runs at full USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed (10Gbps) with in-camera charging, matching the R6 II's data performance. No HDMI-CEC support, so it won't respond to TV remote commands.

Dangbei's ultra-thin portable laser projector runs Google TV with official Netflix, 1,200 ISO lumens, and 1080p output (accepting 4K input). Connectivity is minimal: one HDMI 2.0 port with ARC for external video and audio return, one USB 2.0 Type-A for media playback, and a 3.5mm analog output. HDR10 and HLG are supported only through the built-in streaming apps — not over HDMI or USB. Power uses an external DC adapter.

It supports up to three displays via its two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs and one HDMI 2.0 output, with the multifunction USB-C port adding a fourth video path when not used for data. A subtle limitation is that the HDMI and the multifunction USB-C DisplayPort port cannot both be used as displays simultaneously. Three USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port round out the rear panel.
