Conguration

Windows 2000/XP/Vista

To conﬁgure the image being displayed by the monitor that is

connected to USB2VGAMM6, right-click on a blank section of the

desktop, select Properties, then click on the Settings tab to display

the following screen:

For Vista, right-click on a blank section of the desktop and select

Personalize, then select Screen Resolution on the next screen.

Conﬁgure the secondary display by selecting it from the dropdown

menu, then adjusting the desired settings:

Using the Second Display in Extended Mode

In Extended Mode, the monitor that is connected to USB2VGAMM6

creates an extension of the Windows Desktop displayed on the primary

monitor. To set the display to function in this mode (once selected

from the dropdown menu), check the box marked Extend my windows

desktop onto this monitor, then arrange its position (virtually) with

respect to the primary monitor by dragging the monitor icons (shown

above as Primary/Secondary orientation) to reﬂect the physical

orientation of the displays.

Using the Second Display in Clone Mode (default)

In Clone Mode, the monitor that is connected to USB2VGAMM6 simply

mirrors the image displayed on the primary monitor. To set the display

to function in this mode (once selected from the dropdown menu),

uncheck the box marked Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor.

Designating the Primary Display

To select which of the connected monitors will act as the primary

display, select the monitor that will be used as the Primary Display from

the Dropdown menu (referenced on page 4), and place a checkmark

next to Use this device as the primary monitor. On some displays it is

necessary to disable the main display (i.e. uncheck the box marked

Extend my Windows display onto this monitor for the main display).

Following this change, the monitor connected to USB2VGAMM6 will

remain set as the primary display even if the computer enters hibernate

mode or operation is suspended or powered down. If the monitor is

disconnected from USB2VGAMM6, or USB2VGAMM6 is removed from

the host computer, the original monitor will revert to being the primary

display.

Alternate Conﬁguration

Following the software installation for USB2VGAMM6, you may have

noticed an icon in the taskbar as illustrated below. Clicking on this icon

will open a menu that offers conﬁguration of the display (connected to

USB2VGAMM6):

Here, you can set the secondary display to act

as an extension of the primary desktop, or as

a mirror image that duplicates the contents on

the primary display.

Similarly, the screen resolution, color quality,

position of the screen and rotation of the

screen can be adjusted from this menu.

To disable the secondary display, select Off.

Media Playback

Please note that while operating in Extended Mode, USB2VGAMM6

can display media ﬁles and DVDs using a broad variety of media

players, however in Clone Mode, limited support is available for video

playback.

Mac OS X

To conﬁgure the display settings and monitor positions, bring up the

Displays Preferences from the System Preferences menu:

The Display settings for each display will appear on the individual

monitors themselves. To conﬁgure them all from a single location,

press the “Gather Windows” button and each screen’s Displays

Preferences windows will appear on that display.

All supported video resolutions will appear in the list on the left side.

To change the positioning of each display, click on the “Arrangement“

button (found only on the primary display) and you can then virtually

reposition each display.

Using the Adapter in Extended or Mirror Mode

By default the USB2VGAMM6 will be setup as an extended display.

To change the display as a mirrored/cloned display, check the “Mirror

Display” box on the “Arrangement” page for that monitors Displays

settings window. To return the monitor to an extended display, uncheck

this option.

To use both extended and mirrored displays simultaneously, turn off

mirroring then in the “Arrangement” page press and hold the ‘cmd’ and

‘alt’ keys and drag and drop the display you wish to mirror over the

primary display (shown with the white bar).

Repeat this with each display you wish to mirror, all others will act as

an extended display.

Changing the Primary Display

You can change which display is the primary display by moving the

Menu Bar between displays. Changing the primary display affects

where new windows appear and the position of the Dock.

To move the Menu Bar, click the white menu bar and drag it to the

display you wish to become the primary.
