Display Modes
“EXTENDED” DISPLAY MODE (DEFAULT)
A default display mode; this feature allows the
attached USB Video Adapter enabled display to work
as an “Extended” display to the on-board display. The
extended working space improves work eciency.
You may change the relative position of this extended
display through the Display Settings.
“MIRROR” DISPLAY MODE
This feature allows the same content from the
on-board display to be duplicated (mirroring) to
the USB Video Adapter enabled display.
The screen resolution setting on the USB Video
Adapter enabled device will match the on-board
displays’s resolution. For example, if the on-board
displays’s resolution is 1024x768x32bit, and the USB
Video Adapter will use the same resolution.
“PRIMARY” DISPLAY MODE
A unique feature to allow the USB Video Adapter to act as the main working display. The USB
Video Adapter will work as the main graphics adapter on the system. The on-board display will
work as the extended display.
Please be advised that some display utilities and drivers that shipped with certain AGP and built-
in display adapters may prevent this option from working on some systems. You may be able to
disable the other utility program (usually found in the same toolbar located on the bottom right
hand corner) to make this function work properly.
“OFF” DISPLAY MODE
This option disables the video output from the USB Video Adapter.
