OVERVIEW

The BLACK BOX® VGA–USB Adapter enables you to use the USB 2.0 port on your PC to connect two displays to your CPU. This way, you don‘t have to install any PCI add-on cards in your PC in order to support additional video connections. It’s particularly ideal for conference rooms, classrooms,

trade shows, or any application where you use multiple screens to show presentations.

Even better, the included proprietary software enables you to show separate PowerPoint presentations at the same time. Without the adapter, you’d typically need two computers to process dual PowerPoint shows simultaneously.

Or, for dynamic, larger presentations, put two VGA screens side by side and use them to show one large composite image (of a detailed spreadsheet or pie chart, for example) . See the diagram above.

You can also simply use the VGA–USB Adapter to expand monitor output capabilities on computers lacking a second

video connector. Notebook computer users can, for instance, run presentations on a big-screen monitor viewed by many, or in a docking station environment, connect easily to a larger, higher-resolution screen. It also benefits situations when you need to run two applications and look back and forth between notebook and standard PC screens —with the adapter essentially extending your desktop.
