Display Modes

“Extend” DISPLAY MODE (DEFAULT)

A default display mode; this feature allows the attached HDMI Video Adapter enabled display to work as an “Extended” display to the on-board display. The extended working space improves work efficiency.

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 HDMI Video Adapter enabled display.

The screen resolution setting on the HDMI 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 HDMI Video Adapter will use the same resolution.

“Set as Main Monitor” DISPLAY MODE

A unique feature to allow the HDMI Video Adapter to act as the main working display. The HDMI 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.

“Off” DISPLAY MODE

This option disables the video output from the HDMI Video Adapter.
