Conguring the USB Video Adapter

Look for the USB Video Adapter icon ( ) on your Windows Start bar. Right-click this

icon to access the variety of functions associated to the adapter.

Display ID

The USB Video Adapter supports the VESA

dened DDC/EDID standard. The utility

will show the display device ID whenever it

is attached to the USB Video Adapter.

If there is no display device attached to

the USB Video Adapter, an “Unknown

Monitor” ID will be shown. In some cases,

if the attached display device does not

support EDID, the ID will also be dened as

“Unknown Monitor”.

Display Resolution

Select the desired video display resolution

for the connected monitor.

The default setting resolution is: 1024 x 768

* 32-bit.

Display Rotation

4 options available: 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° when

used with the Extended or Primary display

modes. It is a useful function for some

rotatable display devices.

Instruction Manual 5

Display Modes

“EXTENDED” DISPLAY MODE (DEFAULT)

A default display mode; this feature allows

the attached USB Video Adapter enabled

display to work as an “Extended” display to

the on-board display. The extended working

space improves work eciency.

You may change the relative position of

this extended display through the Display

Settings.

“MIRROR” DISPLAY MODE

This feature allows the same content from

the on-board display to be duplicated

(mirroring) to the USB Video Adapter

enabled display.

The screen resolution setting on the USB

Video Adapter enabled device will match the

on-board displays’s resolution. For example,

if the on-board displays’s resolution is

1024x768*32-bit, and the USB Video Adapter

will use the same resolution.

“PRIMARY” DISPLAY MODE

A unique feature to allow the USB Video

Adapter to act as the main working display.

The USB Video Adapter will work as the

main graphics adapter on the system. 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 USB Video Adapter.

Instruction Manual 6

Identify Monitors

Easy display identication via an overlay will be shown in the upper right corner of all

attached display devices.

Multi-Display Control Panel

A unique feature to allow quicker and

simpler management of a multi-display

environment. A series of hotkeys to quickly

move the active window or mouse cursor

to the desired display (either on-board or

each USB Video Adapter).

The default setting of the hotkeys can be

found in the Hotkey List of “Multi-Display

Control Panel”.

For example: Ctrl + 2 means: to move the

window to Display 2

Display Settings

Quick access to the Windows “Display Settings”

window.
