Configuring Video Ports
Connection
The dynadock provides the following video ports:
HDMI – for connection to HDMI (using the HDMI cable which is not
provided) interface monitors. (up to 2560 x 1440 pixels)
DisplayPort – for connection to DisplayPort (using the DisplayPort
cable which is not provided) interface monitors. (up to 2560 x 1600
pixels)
dynadockTM WiAC
■ The icon ( ) appears in the system tray after connecting an external
display to the dynadock.
■ When using the DisplayPort and the HDMI out port simultaneously, the
resolution is up to 2048 x 1152 pixels.
Connect the monitor cable (not provided) to the video output port on the
dynadock and the external monitor. This cable can be connected and
disconnected any time without disconnecting the dynadock from your
computer.
You can customize the video settings of the dynadock. See section for more
information.
Viewable screens
The dynadock video drivers give you the option of viewing a total of four
screens:
■ the screen on the computer
■ an external monitor connected to the video port on the computer (if
available)
■ two external monitors connected to the dynadock
User’s Manual EN-23
dynadockTM WiAC
Video Modes
The dynadock video output works in two modes:
■ Mirror Mode
■ Extend Mode
Mirror Mode
Mirror mode creates an identical display from your computer screen to the
external monitor. This is useful, for example, if you want to use a larger
desktop monitor rather than the computer screen. In Mirror Mode, the
dynadock automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality
and refresh rate) for the external monitor that allows the best resolution
based on the settings of your computer.
Extend Mode
Extend Mode lets you split your display across multiple monitors. This
provides a number of advantages to increase productivity:
■ View your large spreadsheets across two screens with display
continuity
■ Multitask more effectively without overlapping windows
■ Compare two documents simultaneously across two screens
■ View videos/TV on one screen and reviews on the other
Set up the dynadock for Extend or Mirror Mode
1. Right-click the dynadock icon in the system tray/notification area.
(Sample Illustration) System tray/notification screen
2. Select Extend or Mirror from the menu.

■ If the icon is not visible in your system tray/notification area, make sure
that the dynadock is connected and docked, and then click the Show
Hidden Icons button ( ), if necessary, to display hidden icons.
■ If you notice certain windows or other parts of your display are missing
when you disconnect your computer from the dynadock, you might
need to de-select the Extend desktop onto this display checkbox in
your Windows
primary screen.
■ You can also use the Windows
between Extend Mode and Mirror Mode.
■ The external displays connected to the dynadock might be identified as
“2”, “3”, or “4” on the Windows® Display settings (depending on your
computer model), even though there might not be four viewable
displays.
Adjusting Video Settings
There are several components that make up the screen mode:
Resolution: In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels displayed
on the screen horizontally and vertically.
Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned.
Higher frequencies reduce flicker.
The dynadock supports the following display modes:

Resolution Refresh Rates (Hz) Resolution Refresh Rates (Hz)
1600 x 1200 60 2048 x 1536 60

2048 x 1152 60 2560 x 1600 60
Note that interlaced modes are not supported and the resolutions listed in
this section might not be supported by your monitor.
Additional modes might be offered, depending upon the connected monitor,
but these are not currently guaranteed.
If the monitor does not advertise the supported modes, the HDMI/
DisplayPort component will choose a set of common screen modes.
If cloning the primary display, the HDMI/DisplayPort component will try to
use the preferred monitor mode. In some cases, this might not be the most
appropriate mode for the mirrored desktop. It is recommended that the
primary display resolution be changed to closer match the default
resolution of the dynadock monitor.
For more information on supported modes, be sure to check the
documentation supplied with your monitor.
User’s Manual EN-25
dynadockTM WiAC
When the HDMI/DisplayPort component first starts, it will extend the
primary monitor. Changes to the screen mode and HDMI/DisplayPort
component operation mode can be made under the Windows display
properties. If no output is seen on the monitor connected to the HDMI/
DisplayPort component, it might be in a mode which cannot be displayed
by the monitor. This can happen if the monitor does not report its supported
modes to the HDMI/DisplayPort component. Reduce the resolution of the
primary display, and in turn the resolution of the HDMI/DisplayPort
component display until an image is shown.
Placing the monitor into an unsupported mode for long periods can
damage it.
Adjusting the Video Settings for the monitor connected to the
dynadock:
■ Right-click the dynadock icon in the system tray/notification area, the
following options appears on the menu:
■ dynadock WiAC
Screen Resolution: Change the resolution setting of the external
monitor connected to the dynadock.
Screen Rotation: Rotate the image on the external monitor connected
to the dynadock.
Extend To: Specify the extension direction if you are using multiple
monitors and Extend mode. This setting should match the physical
orientation of the connected monitors relative to each other. For
example, if the external monitor is physically positioned to the right of
your computer's display, select “Extend to Right”.
Extend: Extend your desktop space across multiple monitors, so that
you can display different information on each monitor connected to your
computer.
Set as Main Monitor: Sets screens in extend mode with external
monitor connected to the dynadock as the main monitor.
Notebook Monitor Off: Sets external monitor connected to the
dynadock as the main monitor and turns off the computer screen. (May
not appear when two displays are connected to the dynadock.)
Mirror: Duplicate the image showing on your computer screen on the
external monitor connected to the dynadock.
Off: Turn off the external display. Devices connected to the dynadock
still function.
Fit to TV: Grow or shrink the size of your Windows

How Standby/Sleep/Hibernation Mode Affects Devices Attached to the dynadock
External Monitors
The external monitor connected to the dynadock goes blank if the computer
enters standby/sleep/hibernation mode.
When in Mirror mode, the external monitor retains the settings it had
previoulsly when the computer resumes from standby/sleep/hibernation
mode.
When in Extend Mode, windows that were previously on the external
monitor might appear on the built-in display of the computer when the
computer resumes from standby/sleep/hibernation mode. You might need
to reposition the windows by dragging them to the external desktop again.
Also, if the external monitor is in Extend mode and the computer requires
you to log in after resuming from standby/sleep/hibernation mode, the login
screen appears on the primary computer display, not the external monitor.
This is consistent with Windows
Other Devices
If another device is connected to a port on the dynadock and the computer
goes into standby/sleep/hibernation mode, that device does not function.

the HDMI port or the
DisplayPort on the
dynadock.
®
desktop
Check the connections to make sure that the power
cord/adaptor is firmly connected to the dynadock
and a working power outlet.
Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If the
cord is frayed or damaged it should be replaced,
while if the terminals are soiled, they should be
cleaned with a clean cotton cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the dynadock,
you should contact TOSHIBA Support.
Make sure the computer is connected with the
dynadock.
Make sure that the video cable is tightly secured to
the video port in the dynadock and that the display
output setting of the monitor is set to the correct
mode.
This might be due to the monitor(s) supporting
higher resolutions than the dynadock is able to
support. Check the Configuring Video Ports section
in this manual for details.
If only one monitor is shown, while the other is not,
go to the Intel Graphics Control Panel to select the
output for the second monitor.
If three displays are plugged into the dynadock, only
a maximum of two external monitors are supported.
