Connecting a second monitor for video mirroring

You can connect a second, external monitor to your computer to display the same images that are on the computer’s built-in monitor. Displaying your computer’s images on a second monitor, called video mirroring, is useful for presentations.

If you want to use video mirroring, you need an external video connector with an external monitor attached. (If your computer doesn’t have a connector, you can install one.)

Apple external video connector installed

The built-in monitor must use the same resolution and timing (refresh rate) as the external monitor. Depending on the type of monitor you have added, you may need to change the built-in monitor’s setting to one that the external monitor is capable of displaying.

If you want to display your built-in monitor’s images on a television or record them using a VCR, you’ll need the Apple Presentation System, which adds these capabilities when used with the external video connector kit. The external video connector kit and the Apple Presentation System are available for purchase from Apple-authorized dealers.
