8. Additional Information
The following section provides additional information on the use of the USB Graphics Adapter software.
DirectX 10 Game support
This software release contains support for some DirectX 10 games on Windows 7. To improve the gaming experience,it is
recommended that:
Antialiasing (AA) settings are turned OFF
Locking to vsync is turned ON
These options are usually configurable within the DirectX 10 game.
To play 3D games on a DisplayLink screen with reasonable performance the system specs must meet the game
“

”
hardware specification, not just the minimum specification.
Monitor Calibration
Monitors can be calibrated with applications that use the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI). Both the monitor
and application must support DDC/CI for this to work. An example of an application that is now supported is ScreenWhite.
DDC/CI is not supported on displays with integrated DisplayLink technology, for example mini monitors.
Media Playback
On Windows 7, Vista and Windows XP (in extend mode), the USB Graphics Adapter can display media files and DVDs using
the following media players:
· Windows Media Player 11 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx)
· WinDVD 8 (www.intervideo.com)
· PowerDVD 7 (www.cyberlink.com)
· RealPlayer 11 (www.real.com)
Additional Information
The USB Graphics adapter can display media files and DVDs using most media players. Media playback in mirror mode (XP)
or in Basic mode (Vista and Windows 7) is not recommended.
Using Multiple USB Graphics Adapters
The software supports up to six simultaneously USB attached screens. It is also possible that different sets of screens are
being used at different times, for example two in the office and two at home. The software saves each screen's display profile
separately. This allows for different physical positioning, or different resolutions, of connected monitors in the office and the
home.
Standby and Hibernate, Shut down and Restart
If the PC that the USB Graphics Adapter is connected to is placed into standby or hibernate mode, the display goes blank.
When the PC is again powered up (and unlocked if necessary) the connected monitor returns to the same mode as it was
before stand by or hibernation.
If the PC is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the connected display returns to the same mode as it was before
shutdown.
USB Graphics Adapters with Multiple Users
USB Graphics Adapters work with multiple users on the PC. The mode settings are saved for each user so each can use their
own desktop configuration.
Disconnecting the USB Graphics Adapter
If the USB Graphics Adapter is powered off or the USB cable is removed from the computer, the display blanks. All windows
and icons move to the primary screen.
On reconnection or powering up of the USB Graphics Adapter, the display 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.
Supported Screen Modes
There are three components that make up the screen mode:
