“Primary” Mode
When selected, the screen connected to your
internal video card will work as the extended
desktop. The monitor connected to the SEE2 will
act as the primary Windows desktop. Be
advised that display utilities and drivers that ship
with some AGP and built-in display adapters may
prevent this option from working. You can disable
the offending utility program (usually found in the
same toolbar located on the bottom right hand
corner) to make this function work properly. If you
need to do this, please contact your internal video
card manufacturer for instructions, or Tritton’s
technical support team.
“Extended” Mode (Default)
By default, the monitor connected to SEE2 will
work as, “Extended Desktop” which extends the
primary Windows desktop of your system. You can
change the relative position of this extended
desktop under the Display Properties.
“Mirror” Mode
By setting this mode, the Windows desktop
displayed on your existing monitor will be
mirrored/replicated to the secondary CRT/LCD
monitor on the SEE2. The screen resolution setting
on the secondary monitor must have the exact
same resolution as the primary screen. For
example, if the primary resolution is
1024x768x32bit, the secondary monitor’s
resolution will be the same. But if the selected
resolution setting is not supported by the primary
screen, a warning dialogue box will be displayed
and the suggested screen resolution will be shown.

Rotation
Many LCD monitors allow you to turn the display
90 degrees (portrait mode). This feature enables
setting the orientation of the secondary CRT/LCD
monitor. Several options such as “90 degrees”,
“180 degrees”, 270 degrees” or “0 degress” are
available under the Extended or Primary mode
“OFF” Mode
This option disables the SEE2 video port on the
system.

Q&A
This section describes the common Q&A regarding to the installation or operation of the
SEE2.
Q: Why can’t I make the SEE2 the primary display?
A: Some video cards ship their product with a utility that prevent other video cards from
being set as the primary card. Check the bottom right hand corner taskbar for the utility.
Disable the utility before switching our SEE2 to be the primary display.
Q: Why won’t my DVD player work when I move it over to the extended display?
A: Some DVD playback software packages do not support playing on a second display
of any kind. You may have to open the program in the secondary display first before
playing the DVD.
Q: How come my video will not play on Media Player if I move it over to the extended
desktop?
A: Check that you have moved the Media Player window completely over to the
second screen.
Q: Why does my mouse not move pass the right side of the screen as it should on
extended desktop?
A: Go to control panel\displays, click on “Identify Monitors”, verify that the position as
recorded in Display Properties matches the physical positioning of the monitors. You
can rearrange how Windows treats each display in relation to each other in the Display
Properties Settings.
Q: There are lines running horizontally up and down my screen.
A: This is due to a low refresh rate setting. You can change this in the Display
Properties Settings Advanced Monitor. Make sure you select the
SEE2 first and not
set the refresh rate higher than what your monitor can support. This may damage your
monitor. You can also try to reset/refresh/resynchronize your monitor.
Q: Direct3D does not work?
A: This is a current limitation of the SEE2 . Check for driver updates in the future to
add support for this. If your application requires this, please use the main display.
