on my Chromebook 15 (CB515-1HT): the USB-C port that supports DisplayPort

I'm trying to (hoping to) project my Chromebook monitor's display to an external (larger) monitor that has several input ports, one of which is DisplayPort. My Chromebook's User Manual shows that it has 2 "USB Type-C ports with DC-in," and that each port "Supports DisplayPort™ over USBC™." Are those 2 USB Type -C ports...

...A. video-IN ports that can taking video coming FROM a DisplayPort cable and displaying it onto my Chromebook's monitor?
...B. video-OUT ports? If so, any recommendations for what USB-C to DisplayPort cable I should buy and where?

Thanks in advance for answers for this.

They both support video out, as DP 1.2. Neither supports video capture (DP-In). You should be able to use a simple USB-C to DP cable to connect the monitor.

Thanks for that info, laurent_14, but I don't see an answer to whether the 2 USB-C port support sending video out to a Display Port input port.

Thank you, billsey. Great info and I now feel confident about ordering that USB-C to DP cable I saw and almost ordered before posting this question here.
