The TXDOCK Docking Station with Video is a unique expansion
unit designed for computers that have extra connectivity
demands. With just one USB port on the computer, its
connection can be extended to not only USB peripherals, but
also to Ethernet network, speaker, microphone and an additional
monitor. It also offers desktop computer users the convenience of
accessing the peripherals within the reach, eliminating the hassle
of connecting or disconnecting the peripherals from the rear of a
computer.
With the video port, your computer can be connected to one
more monitor, LCD or projector. The connected monitor can be
congured to either mirror your primary screen or extend the
Windows desktop, allowing visibility of more applications at the
same time. No more stacking windows within the connes of a
single display.
The upright design helps to spare your desktop space. Most
peripherals are connected behind while two USB ports and
audio outputs are implemented on the front panel for easier
accessibility. An industry standard security lock is also provided
for anti-theft.

3. Using the Docking Station with Video
USB 2.0 Ports
The four USB ports on the docking station function just like
the ports on a USB hub. Simply connect any USB device to the
docking station’s USB ports when required.
• All the four USB ports provide power when the computer is
either off, suspended or hibernated. This means you can use
the USB port for power charging purpose.
• The USB port supports hot-plug feature. You may plug and
unplug an USB device from the docking station at any time
when required.
• Some USB devices, e.g., printers and optical drives, require
higher power to operate. To use these devices, the power
adapter shipped with the device should be plugged into the
device and the mains.
Audio Ports
Prior to using the speaker/microphone connected to the docking
station, you have to correctly congure your application to use
USB (Multimedia) Audio Device, i.e., the audio components of the
docking station.
When the docking station is connected to your computer,
the audio devices named USB (Multimedia) Audio Device are
automatically installed and may override Windows default audio settings. The most obvious effect is that your original music
playback will be re-directed to the speaker connected to the
docking station. However, it’s possible that users may want to
use original sound card for music playback and use the docking
station’s audio ports for chatting via instant messaging software
(such as MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger or Skype). In such
cases users have to manually congure required audio device for
each application.
19
Page 20
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual

Display Modes
There are several ways you can utilize the monitor attached on
the docking station. The add-on monitor can be congured to
use either “mirror mode”, “extended mode” or be the primary
display as described in this section.
A. Extend Your Windows Desktop to Add-on Monitor (Default)
In this “extended mode”, your display will be spread over the
add-on monitor(s). This mode allows you to perform multiple
tasks more effectively without overlapping windows.
Extended mode is the default setting. To set up the video
component to use or restore extended mode, follow these steps:
1. Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop,
right-click and select Personalize>Display>Change Display Setting on Windows 7, Personalize > Display Settings on Vista
or Properties > Settings on XP/2000.
2. In the Display drop-down menu, select the option
“DisplayLink Graphics Adapter” on Windows Vista/XP/2000.
3. Select the option Multiple Displays>Extend these Displays on
Windows 7, check the option Extend the desktop onto this monitor on Vista or Extend my Windows desktop onto this
21
Page 22
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
monitor on XP/2000.
4. Drag the icons in the window at the top of the screen to
match the physical arrangement of your primary monitor and
add-on monitor.
Note: The add-on monitor connected to the docking station
may be identied as either “2” or “3”, depending on your
computer, although there may not be a total of 3 screens
connected.
5. Click OK to close the settings screen.
Note: The text after USB_XXXX_XXXXXX will vary by different products.
Once the setting is done, to use your extended desktop, simply
drag and drop your open windows over to your second monitor.
However, note that some applications may not support display on
the extended desktop.
22
Page 23
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
Cursor disappeared ?
If you’re in extended mode but the add-on monitor is
not connected, the desktop still pans to the add-on
monitor and it’s possible that your cursor has moved to
the extended desktop so that you cannot nd it on the
primary display. To solve the problem in such a case,
connect the add-on monitor to the docking station or
keep moving your mouse to try or unplug the docking
station rst to restore the cursor.
B. Video and DVD Playback in Extened Mode
On Windows Vista with extended mode, it’s suggested that
you run video or DVD playback programs on your primary
monitor instead of the add-on monitor to ensure the playback
performance.
C. Mirror Your Windows Desktop
This mode is referred to as “mirror” or “clone” mode. In this
mode, your original screen (the primary display) will be mirrored
to the add-on monitor.
In mirror mode, the video component will automatically select
the settings (screen resolution, color quality and refresh rate)
23
Page 24
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
for the add-on monitor, but you can manually adjust the settings
as required. However, the settings of the add-on monitor are
limited by that of the primary monitor. For example, even though
your add-on monitor supports a resolution of up to 1680x1050,
you can only congure it to use 1280x1024 because the primary
monitor only supports a resolution of up to 1280x1024.
If you change the video output to extended mode and then want
to switch back to mirror mode, follow these steps:
1. Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop,
right-click and select Personalize>Display>Change Display
Setting>Adjust Resolution on Windows 7, Personalize>Display
Settings on Vista or Properties>Settings on XP/2000.
2. In the Display drop-down menu, select the option
“DisplayLink Graphics Adapter” for Windows XP/Vista/2000.
3. Check Multiple Displays>Duplicate these displays on Windows
7, uncheck the option Extend the desktop onto this monitor
on Vista or Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor on
XP/2000.
4. Click OK to close the settings screen.
D. Be the Primary Monitor
To make the add-on monitor the primary display:
1. Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop,
right-click and select Personalize>Display>Change Display Setting on Windows 7, Personalize > Display Settings on Vista
or Properties > Settings on XP/2000.
2. In the Display drop-down menu, select the option ends with
DisplayLink Graphics Adapter for Windows Vista/XP/2000.
3. Check the Make this my main monitor on Windows 7, check
the option This is my main monitor on Vista or Use this device as the primary monitor on XP/2000.
On some PCs and laptops it is necessary to disable the main
display (i.e. uncheck the Extend the desktop onto this monitor
24
Page 25
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
or Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor box for the
main display) as part of the same settings change.
4. Click OK to close the settings screen.
The add-on monitor stays primary if the PC enters hibernate
or suspend mode or is rebooted. If the add-on monitor is
unplugged, the main display becomes primary again.
Adjusting Resolution, Color Depth and Refresh Rate
There are three components that make up the screen mode:
Resolution: This refers to the number of pixels displayed on
screen horizontally and vertically.
Color Depth: This denes the number of different colors that can
be shown on the screen at the same time.
Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is
rescanned. Higher frequencies reduce icker.
Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the
video connector. If this is the case, the video component
identies the supported modes from the monitor. If the monitor
does not advertise the supported modes, the video software
chooses a set of common screen modes for the monitor.
25

About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users
The resolutions and refresh rates available to the user through
Windows are dependant on the following elements:
• The video component of the docking station
• The primary monitor and the add-on monitor
• The primary video card on your computer and installed
drivers
Therefore, for example, if your monitor doesn’t support a
resolution of 1600x1200, then 1600x1200 is not possible
though your docking station’s video. This ensures that the
26
Page 27
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
monitor cannot be put into an unsupported mode, which
might damage it.
If cloning the primary display, the video component will try to
use the preferred monitor mode. In some cases, this may not
be the most appropriate mode for the cloned desktop. It is
recommended that the primary display resolution be changed to
closer match the default resolution of the add-on monitor.
To congure the three components (resolution, color depth and
refresh rate) of a screen mode, follow these steps:
1. Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop,
right-click and select Personalize>Display>Change Display
Setting> Adjust Resolution on Windows 7, Personalize >
Display Settings on Vista or Properties > Settings on XP/2000.
2. In the Display drop-down menu, select the option DisplayLink
Graphics Adapter on Windows XP/2000.
3. To change the screen resolution or color quality, select those
options on the screen. Be sure to select one of the supported
resolutions and color quality numbers in the table above. For
an add-on monitor, you can also select any resolution or color
quality supported by that monitor.
Note: The text after USB_XXXX_XXXXXX will vary by different products.
27
Page 28
Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
4. To change the refresh rate, click Advanced… and then click
Monitor.
5. Select a refresh rate from the Screen refresh rate drop-down
list and then click Apply.
6. Click OK to close the settings screen.
Note: The text after USB_XXXX_XXXXXX will vary by different products.
Disconnecting the Docking Station
If the docking station is unplugged from the computer, the
add-on monitor goes blank. All windows and icons move to the
primary screen.
On reconnection of the docking station, the docking station
returns to the same mode as it was before disconnection.
However, windows and icons that were previously on the screen
will not be moved back.
28

Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
How Standby or Hibernate Mode Affects Devices
Attached to the Docking Station
External Monitors
When the docking station is connected to a computer and an
external monitor, if the computer goes into standby or hibernate
mode, the external monitor display goes blank.
When the computer returns to an active state, the external
monitor display keeps the same settings it had before the
computer went into standby or hibernate mode. However, if
the add-on monitor was set for extended mode, windows that
were previously on the external monitor will not move back
to that secondary monitor. Also, if the add-on monitor is in
extended mode and the computer requires a login after standby
or hibernate mode, the login screen appears on the primary
computer monitor, not the external monitor.
If the computer is shut down, restarted and logged in, again
the add-on monitor returns to the same mode as it was before
shutdown.
Other Devices
If another device is connected to a port on the docking station
and the computer goes into standby or hibernate mode, that
device will not function. For example, if you are using the
Ethernet port for high-speed network access, network access will
not be available until the computer returns to an active state.
