connect one or more display devices (CRT/LCD monitor, projector) to your desktop or
notebook PC. The connected display can act as mirrored or extended desktop of the
main display on your computer. Turn your monitor sideways, and enable portrait mode
for easier web and print viewing.

UNCTION DESCRIPTION
This section describes the main functions provided by the SEE2.
- The SEE2 can support LCD or
CRT displays; The VGA interface
can be used on LCD or CRT
monitors. Four different modes are
available for use: Primary,

- The resolution can be modified via the Utility Icon or Display Properties.
SEE2 USB 2.0 EXTERNAL VIDEO ADAPTER

“Primary” Mode
The system’s main graphics adapter will
automatically switch to act as the
secondary graphics adapter and the
main screen as the extended desktop.
The monitor connected to the SEE2 will
now act as the primary Windows desktop.
Please be advised that display utilities
that shipped with some AGP and built-in
display adapters may prevent this option
from working on some systems. You can
disable the other utility program (usually
found in the same toolbar located on the
bottom right hand corner) to make this
function work properly.
“Extended” Mode (Default)
By default, the monitor connected to SEE2 will work as, “Extended Desktop” which
extends the primary Windows desktop of your system. You can change the relative
position of this extended desktop under the Display Properties.
SEE2 USB 2.0 EXTERNAL VIDEO ADAPTER
20
“Mirror” Mode
By setting this mode, the Windows desktop
will be mirrored/replicated to the secondary
CRT/LCD monitor. The screen resolution
setting on the secondary monitor MUST
match the primary screen’s resolution. For
example, if the primary resolution is 1600 x
1200 x 32bit, the secondary monitor’s
resolution will be the same. If the selected
resolution setting is not supported by the
primary screen, a warning dialogue box will
be displayed and the suggested screen
resolution will be shown.
“OFF” Mode
This option disables the SEE2 on the
system.
Rotation
This feature enables setting the orientation of the secondary CRT/LCD monitor. Several
options such as “0 degrees”, “90 degrees”, “180 degrees” or “270 degrees” are
available under the Extended or Primary mode. This is helpful because some monitors
rotate to the left, and some to the right.

Ø Q&A
This section describes the common Q&A regarding the installation and operation of the
SEE2.
Q: Why can’t I make the SEE2 the primary display?
A: Some video cards ship their product with a utility that prevent other video cards
from being set as the primary card. Check the bottom right hand corner taskbar for
the utility. Disable the utility before switching our adapter to be the primary display.
Q: Why won’t my DVD player work when I move it over to the extended display?
A: Some DVD playback software packages do not support playing on a second
display adapter of any kind. Sometimes opening the program in the secondary
display before before playing the DVD can help this.
Q: How come my video will not play on Media Player if I move it over to the extended
desktop?
A: Ensure that you have moved the Media Player window completely over to the
second screen, if it is overlapping both screens, this will affect playback
Q: Why does my mouse not move pass the right side of the screen as it should on
extended desktop?
A: Check the display settings and make sure that your displays are oriented correctly.
You have to tell your computer how the monitors are physically positioned on your
desk. From Control Panel \Display Properites (see page 17 for example), click the
“Identify Monitors” button, you will see how the computer has numbered the monitors.
If this does not match how your computer has them oriented on “display properties”,
you must drag-and-drop the monitors in display properties so that the numbers are
oriented the same as displayed when you click the “Identfy Monitors” button.
Q: There are lines running horizontally up and down my screen.
A: This is due to a low refresh rate setting. You can change this in the Display
Properties Settings Advanced Monitor. Make sure you select the USB 2.0 VGA
Device first and not set the refresh rate higher than what your monitor can support.
This may damage your monitor. You can also try to reset/refresh/resynchronize your
monitor.
Q: Direct3D does not work?
A: This is a current limitation of the adapter. Please check for driver updates in the
future to add support for this. If your application requires this, please use the main
display adapter.
Q: Why won’t the Adapter work on Windows Vista 64 bit version?
A: Currently, the driver is compatible with Windows Vista 32 bit version only. Please
check for the driver updates in the future.
