Technology Overview 19 Power Mac G5 Connecting to other displays, TVs, VCRs, and projectors A DVI to VGA Adapter is included with every Power Mac G5 for connecting to VGA displays, such as CRTs or projectors.

Extended desktop mode lets you distribute work across two displays, allowing more room for viewing rich content and complex applications that use floating palettes and long timelines. For example, you can view Final Cut Pro on one display while watching the video output on the other. Video mirroring mode outputs the same information on both displays, which means you can control a presentation from one display while the audience watches it on a second display or projected image. The possibilities get even more interesting when you connect more than two displays. For maximum productivity, extend your desktop across up to eight displays.5 Or consider controlling a set of public information kiosks or constructing a multimedia museum exhibit from a single Power Mac G5 system.

Technology Overview
Power Mac G5
Support for Multiple Displays
Every Power Mac G5 graphics card supports two displays in extended desktop and
video mirroring modes. Extended desktop mode lets you distribute work across
two displays, allowing more room for viewing rich content and complex applications
that use floating palettes and long timelines. For example, you can view Final Cut
Pro on one display while watching the video output on the other. Video mirroring
mode outputs the same information on both displays, which means you can control
a presentation from one display while the audience watches it on a second display
or projected image.
The possibilities get even more interesting when you connect more than two displays.
For maximum productivity, extend your desktop across up to eight displays.
