
Zoom allows you to magnify an area of the Windows display, which can help when fine
detail is important for an application display on the screen. The portion of the screen
sent to iVGA output is determined by the position of the cursor on screen.
You can set zoom to 150, 200 or 400 percent, or disable it. When you do not want your
