ning the latest software.

Tips for Optimal Performance
To get the most out of ScreenBeam Pro, note the following:
sKeep ScreenBeam Pro in line-of-sight in relation to the source device. Doing
this will help ensure ScreenBeam Pro receives the best possible signal.
sScreenBeam Pro’s optimal wireless range is within 30 feet of the source
device. However, actual range and effectiveness depends on many factors,
including the amount of existing signal interference and the building mate-
rials used in the surrounding structure.
sAvoid placing ScreenBeam Pro near other possible sources of interference
(such as electric fans or other devices with electric motors), microwave
ovens, and cordless phones.

Display and
Control Options
This chapter describes the various display modes and control options that are sup-
ported by ScreenBeam Pro.
Display Mode
ScreenBeam Pro supports three display modes when connected with a compatible
wireless display application (Intel WiDi or Windows 8.1 Project, for example).
In Windows, press the Windows logo + P keys simultaneously to launch the dis-
play options and select the desired display mode from the options.

Display Options
Duplicate
The Duplicate mode is used to display the same content on both the device’s screen
and the HDTV simultaneously.
Note: There may be minor delay between the content displayed on the HDTV
screen compared to the device’s screen. This is due to the current state of wireless
display technology.
Extend
The Extend mode creates a single, extended “screen” between the source device
and the HDTV. When in Extend mode, dragging windows to the right side of the
device’s screen displays those windows on the HDTV, while dragging windows to
the left of the HDTV screen displays them back on the device’s screen. This mode
allows users to display selected content on the HDTV, while all other windows
remain on the device’s screen. When this mode is first selected, the HDTV displays
only the Windows desktop.
Second Screen Only
The Second Screen Only mode causes the HDTV to be the only display for the
device. All content will be displayed on the HDTV; the source device’s screen will
be blank.
