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.
Configuring Displays from the Menu Bar
If you have checked the “Show displays in menu bar” in the Display Preferences
window, then you can configure displays by clicking the display icon in the menu bar.
This will show a menu similar to the following:
Media Playback
Please note that while operating in Extended Mode, the USB Display Adapter can
display media files and DVDs using a broad variety of media players, however in Clone
Mode, limited support is available for video playback.
Audio Playback
The audio component of the VGA Video Adapter adds a new USB sound device to
the system. This will be selected by default, but on some system it may need to be
selected manually through the Sound Preferences in System Preferences. Audio will
only be passed through the converter to the VGA display. Any speakers connected
directly to the computer system will not be active, while audio is being sent to the VGA
Video Adapter. If multiple VGA Video Adapters are connected to the computer system,
only one audio device can be used. So audio can only be output to one of the VGA
Video Adapters.
