iPad pro sidecar with iMac late 2012

I can't seem to find any language showing that a late 2012 iMac can utilize the sidecar feature... does anyone have insight with these two pieces of hardware talking to each other?

Found this from the Apple Website.

While your 2012 iMac is supported on macOS Catalina, Sidecar requires a 2015 iMac or later.

Sorry.

Here's the quoted excerpt.

“Sidecar-supported Mac models:

• MacBook introduced in 2016 or later

• MacBook Air introduced in 2018 or later

• MacBook Pro introduced in 2016 or later

• Mac mini introduced in 2018 or later

• iMac introduced in late 2015 or later

• iMac Pro introduced in 2017 or later

• Mac Pro introduced in 2019”
