Display Modes

“Extend” Display Mode (DEFAULT)

The default display mode; this mode allows the output on the USB 3.0 Docking Station

to work as an“Extended” display to the on-board display (i.e. internal graphics card).

This extended working space improves work eciency.

You may change the relative position of this extended display through the Windows

Display Settings or the “Extend To” option in the DisplayLink icon menu.

“Extend To” Options

When using the “Extend” display mode, 4 options are available for placement of the

extended display, relative to the primary display: Left, Right, Above, Below. More

ne adjustments to the placement of the extended display can be made through the

Windows Display Settings.

Instruction Manual

“Mirror” Display Mode

This mode allows the same content from the on-board display to be duplicated

(mirroring) to the output on the USB 3.0 Docking Station.

The screen resolution setting on the USB 3.0 Docking Station video output will match

the on-board display’s resolution. For example, if the on-board display’s resolution is

1024 x 768*32-bit, then the USB 3.0 Docking Station will use the same resolution.

“Set as Main Monitor” Display Mode

A unique feature to allow the USB 3.0 Docking Station to act as the main working

display. The USB 3.0 Docking Station will work as the main graphics adapter on the

system, while 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 tool

bar located on the bottom right hand corner) to make this function work properly.

“O” Display Mode

This option disables the video output from the USB 3.0 Docking Station.

Screen Resolution

Select the desired video display resolution for the connected monitor in Extend Mode.

The default resolution setting is: 1024 x 768 * 32-bit.

Screen Rotation

4 options are available: 0°(Normal), 90° (Left), 180° (Upside-Down), 270° (Right) when

used with the Extended or Primary display modes. It is a useful function for some

rotatable display devices.

Instruction Manual

Notebook Monitor O

Turns the monitor on the USB Docking Station to the main display and turns o the

screen of the laptop. NOTE: This function works only when one add-on monitor is

connected. This option will also only appear on laptop.

Optimize For Video (Windows Vista/ 7 only)

Optimize video play back when using Windows Vista/ 7. Regular text may appear

blurry while this is enabled.

Fit to TV

When using Extended Mode, if the Windows Desktop screen is not completely visible

on the TV/Monitor, this option can be used to adjust the size of the Windows Desktop.

NOTE: This mode will only work while using Extended mode. If using Mirror mode, this

will automatically change the adapter to Extended mode. This mode cannot be used

at the same time as the Screen Rotation feature.

A red border will appear on the Extended screen that will show the size of the new

Windows Desktop. Use the horizontal and vertical + and - buttons to manually adjust

the size to properly t the screen.

NOTE: Holding the CTRL key while making adjustments allow for ner control.
