Extend

The monitor attached to the USB 3.0 Mini Dock Adapter displays an extension of

the user’s active Windows desktop. The extra desktop area is a great productivity

aid, allowing more applications or documents to be visible at a time. The device is

now extended in the direction it was the last time the display was in this mode. For

more control, use the “Extend To” submenu and select one of the options. This puts

the device into extend mode, and places it to the Right/Left/Above/Below the main

(primary) monitor.

Mirror

The monitor attached to the USB 3.0 Mini Dock Adapter displays a duplication of the

primary display. The resolution, color depth and refresh rate of the primary screen are

replicated on the monitor connected to the adapter.
Note: If the monitors used are of different specifications, the system’s primary graphics

adapter will scale all settings to lower specification to maintain a uniform aspect ratio.

Extend To

This option allows you to specify the physical location of the monitor connected to the

USB 3.0 Mini Dock Adapter in relation to the systems on-board monitor.
