2.1 Positioning the A/V Adapter
The Wireless USB A/V Adapter is designed for two possible mounting options:
Simple table placement –the Audio/Video Base (A/V Base) is placed on a flat horizontal
surface, and the Device Adapter is connected at 90 degrees to the base so that it is
vertical.
Vertical mounting –the A/V Base is fastened to a wall, a projector, or behind a display
screen, and the Device Adapter is connected so that it is flat with the mounting surface,
with the Device Adapter pointing upwards.
Note: For best performance, it is recommended to always position the Device Adapter
vertically so that it is pointing upwards.

The following are suggested work modes for connecting a display screen to the A/V Adapter:
Mirror Mode
Extend Mode
Laptop with Lid Closed
External Display Only
Note: On Windows XP/Vista, the display properties for the A/V Adapter can be configured
in two ways: as described in Sec. 5.3.1 Configuring the Display via the Display Icon
Context Menu in Windows XP/Vista, or as described in Sec. 5.3.2 Configuring the

automatically adjusted.
5.1 Using the A/V Adapter
Upon first time operation, the A/V Adapter is in Extend mode, this section describes the
different modes that can be set. In Sec. 5.2 and 5.3.2 you will find the procedures for
configuring these modes.
5.1.1 Using Mirror Mode
Mirror mode is used to display the identical content on the additional screen as is shown on
the main PC/Laptop screen. Mirror mode is generally used to display the PC contents on a
larger or higher definition display. See Figure 9: Mirror Mode - displaying PC desktop on a
larger display screen.

Note: Mirror mode is not recommended for playing HD video.
5.1.2 Using Extend Mode
Use the Extend mode to display different content on each display screen. In Extend mode, the
display attached to the A/V Adapter becomes an extended part of the Windows desktop. The
extra desktop area is a great productivity aid, allowing you to view or work with more
applications or documents at the same time. You can also use this mode to extend your
desktop to fill multiple screens that are positioned next to each other for a larger continuous
work space.
