6.1 Understanding the video output modes
The docking station works in the following three video output modes:
• “Extend mode”
• “Mirror mode”
• “Single-display mode”
By default, the docking station works in extend mode.
Extended Mode
When the docking station is in extend mode, it splits your display across multiple
monitors.

There are three options when you are using extend mode:
•
Extend:
When you select this option, your notebook computer monitor becomes
the primary display and the external monitor(s) become the secondary display(s),
and the external monitor display(s) are on the right side of the notebook
computer monitor display by default.
•
Extend To:
When you select this option, your notebook computer monitor
becomes the primary display and the external monitor(s) become the secondary
display(s). You can give each monitor its own frame buffer through the submenu
options
Right, Left, Above,
and
Below
or through drag operations. The display
space is a continuous area; therefore, windows and objects can be moved between
different displays, or even straddled across multiple displays.
•
Set as Main Monitor:
When you select this option, the external monitor(s)
become the primary display(s) and the notebook computer monitor becomes the
secondary display.
