Introduction
The USB32DVIPRO USB 3.0 to DVI Adapter turns an available USB 3.0 port into a DVI
output, with high resolution 2048x1152 video support - a convenient external video
solution that makes it easy to add multi-monitor capability to a USB 3.0-enabled
desktop or laptop computer (optimal performance from USB 3.0, backward compatible
with USB 2.0).
Leveraging the high-bandwidth (5 Gbps) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface, the adapter
functions as a external graphics card to deliver smooth, high-resolution content to
your DVI or VGA-capable display (DVI to VGA Adapter included). The adapter can be
used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display, or to
extend your desktop to double your workspace and increase your productivity.

Display Modes
“Extend” DISPLAY MODE (DEFAULT)
A default display mode; this feature allows the attached USB 3.0 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 Windows
Display Settings or the “Extend To” option in the DisplayLink icon menu.
“Mirror” DISPLAY MODE
This feature allows the same content from the on-board display to be duplicated
(mirroring) to the USB 3.0 Video Adapter enabled display.
The screen resolution setting on the USB 3.0 Video Adapter enabled device will match
the on-board displays’s resolution. For example, if the on-board displays resolution is
1024 x 768*32-bit, then the USB 3.0 Video Adapter will use the same resolution.
“Set as Main Monitor” DISPLAY MODE
A unique feature to allow the USB 3.0 Video Adapter to act as the main working display.
The USB 3.0 Video Adapter will work as the main graphics adapter on the system, while
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.
