INTRODUCTION
PACKAGE CONTENTS:
FEATURES:
SPECIFICATIONS:
The Atlona AT-HDView is designed to take video and audio signal from a PC or Laptop and upscale it to digital
HDMI output of wide-ranged HDTV and PC resolutions, up to 1080p. The AT-HDView is a plug and play device,
automatically sensing the native resolution of the display and scales the computer’s output to match it. The
converter will take audio signal from the computer and embedded it into the HDMI signal output, so that user
is able to enjoy both audio and video though one cable. The HDVieW is a scaler-converter, which means that
it will always work without any adjustments to the video card software in addition to the video quality’s ability to
dramatically increase due to the built-in high quality scaler. The Atlona converter is USB powered and therefore
will not require additional power supplies.

ACTIVATING A VGA OUTPUT ON A LAPTOP
Most laptops have the VGA output disabled by default. In order to use Atlona converter user would have to en-
able it.
There are 2 x congurations:
A) Mirror mode. In this mode, your desktop (or screen) is duplicated on the second display, so your audience
sees what’s on your screen. For example, use Mirrored mode if you’re recording ideas as people mention them
during a brainstorming session and you want participants to see what’s being recorded. The main downside
of this mode is that instant message pop-ups, e-mail notications, and other potentially annoying messages
appear on the screen. Also, if you browse for a le or switch between programs, your audience will see these
actions on the second display.
Note: Most laptops have the VGA output disabled by default. User would have to press a combination of but-
tons to enable it.
1. On your laptop’s keyboard, nd the key marked “FUNCTION” or “Fn” (usually on the lower left corner of the
keyboard).
2. Then, search for a key that has either the letters “CRT/LCD” or a little monitor icon. Most often, it will be in
the top row of keys marked F1 through F12, but not always.
3. When you have keys located, press the FUNCTION key and then the LCD/CRT key that you located before
at the same time. It might take a couple of seconds for the computer to react.
4. This should toggle the screen image through a cycle like this:
Image on Laptop Screen Image on Projector Image on Both (to go from one mode to another, you
would have to simultaneously press Function key and LCD/CRT at the same time)

B). Extended mode.
In this mode, you extend your mobile PC screen space by using an additional display (whether a monitor or
a projector screen). You can then use each screen independently. This mode is well suited for presentations
because you can display the slides on one screen (usually the projector), and then hide notications and other
miscellaneous messages, and complete other tasks, such as taking notes, on your mobile PC screen. This
mode is also very useful when you want to extend your workspace while using your mobile PC at your desk.
Note: Most laptops have the VGA output disabled by default. User would have to make a few
adjustments in the video settings to enable the mode.
1.Right-click the desktop of your mobile PC, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
2.In the Display Properties dialog box, on the Settings tab, click the blue rectangle with the number 2 (which
represents the external monitor), and then select the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box.
3.Under Screen resolution, drag the slider to the right to change the screen resolution of Monitor 2 to 1024
by 768 pixels, and then click OK.

4. When prompted, click Yes.
Note: If your desktop background does not appear on the external monitor, click No, and then repeat
step 3 to decrease the screen resolution.
Adjust the position of the monitors
By default, Windows places the second screen to the right of the rst (or primary) one. You can change the
position of the monitors to reect their physical position.
1. Right-click the desktop of your mobile PC, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
2. In the Display Properties dialog box, on the Settings tab, drag the graphical representation of Monitor 2 (the
blue box with the number 2 in it) to the left of Monitor 1, and then click OK.
3. When prompted, click Yes.
Adjust your screen settings
When you rst enable Extended Desktop mode, your taskbar and any icons on your desktop appear on the
mobile PC screen; desktop space without icons appears on the external monitor. You may nd it easier to show
the taskbar on the external monitor since it is usually the larger of the two screens.
1. On your mobile PC screen, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Lock the Taskbar.
2. Drag the taskbar to the external desktop and drop it where you want it to appear.
You can now take advantage of the extra screen space by dragging program windows to the external monitor.
You can also resize windows to stretch across the two screens.
By taking advantage of additional monitors, you can share information with others more effectively when you’re
giving a presentation and also improve your productivity by extending your workspace when you’re using your
mobile PC at your desk.
