UNCTION DESCRIPTION

This section describes the main functions provided by the SEE2 UV150.
- The SEE2 UV150 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, Extended, Mirror and Portrait Mode (Rotation) by right-clicking the utility icon.
- The resolution can be modified via the Utility Icon or Display Properties. There is a shortcut to Display Properties in the SEE2 UV150 system tray icon menu.
14
SEE2 UV150 USB 2.0 EXTERNAL VIDEO ADAPTER
Display Settings Shortcut
Choosing the “Display Settings…” option from the pop-up menu will open the Windows Display Settings Control Panel.
“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 UV150 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 UV150 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.
15
SEE2 UV150 USB 2.0 EXTERNAL VIDEO ADAPTER
“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 UV150 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.

Multi-Display Control Panel
The Multi-Display Control Panel will allow you to setup hotkey shortcuts for moving windows to other displays. Check the “Move Window and Fullscreen” checkbox to maximize the window when it is moved to the selected display.
Identify Monitors
Choosing the Identify Monitors option will display a number on each monitor to help identify each monitor. The number will appear in a blue box in the upper right corner.

¾ Q&A
This section describes the common Q&A regarding the installation and operation of the SEE2 UV150.
Q: Why can’t I make the SEE2 UV150 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 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 past 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 the computer how the monitors are physically positioned on your desk. From Control Panel > Display Properties (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 “Identify 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.
