1. A surgical hub comprising:
a communication array operably connected to a primary display and a secondary display, a laparoscopic scope and at least one surgical instrument; and
a processor configured to:
obtain a visualization control mode based on a visualization control parameter, wherein the visualization control parameter comprises available data bandwidth associated with the surgical hub;
generate first visualization data for the primary display;
determine whether to generate second visualization data for the secondary display based on the obtained visualization control mode, the second visualization data being different from the first visualization data, wherein the second visualization data for the secondary display is generated based on a determination that the available data bandwidth associated with the surgical hub is capable of supporting multi-display capabilities, and generation of the second visualization data for the secondary display is disabled based on a determination that the available data bandwidth associated with the surgical hub lacks capacity to support multi-display capabilities; and
send data for display on at least one of the primary display or the secondary display based on the determination.
