Chapter 2 Using Your Motion Tablet Client

Mirroring or Extending Your Display

The Tablet Client has a Dual Head Video Controller that lets you run a presentation from your Tablet Client on an external monitor or data projector while taking notes in ink. You can also move applications onto a second monitor to create additional work space.

To connect the Tablet Client and a monitor or projector:

1.Plug the VGA monitor cable into the VGA port on the Tablet Client or Motion FlexDock for the LE Series.

2.Connect the external monitor or data projector to a power outlet and turn it on. The software recognizes the external monitor or data pro- jector and searches for a driver.

3.Set up the mirrored desktop or extended display.

To set up a mirrored display, see “Setting Up a Mirrored Display” on page 25.

To set up an extended display, see “Setting Up an Extended Display” on page 26.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to drag any application window back to the Tablet Client display before shutting down the external data projector or monitor. Otherwise, you cannot access the application(s) to shut it down. If you do leave an application open on the extended display, you can disable it from the Windows Control Panel Display Properties or from the Motion Dashboard.

Setting Up a Mirrored Display

Use this feature to connect an external projector for presentations or an extra display on your desk. This example shows a Word document (1), displayed (“mirrored”) on both the Tablet Client (2), and an external monitor

(3).

Mirrored Display Example: (1) Word document; (2) Tablet Client display; (3) external monitor

NOTE: The resolution and orientation of the external monitor will be the same as the Tablet Client display.
