Using the dynadock™ and Adjusting Settings
Adjusting video settings
If you use multiple dynadocks with a single computer (for example,
one at work and one at home), the video settings for each
dynadock™ are saved when you disconnect the computer. This
enables you to have each dynadock™ adjusted to different video
settings for each location. The settings are retained each time you
use the dynadock™ with your computer.

This section describes detailed information on adjusting the video
settings for a display connected to the dynadock™.
Selecting Extended mode or Mirror mode
You can choose to set the dynadock’s video output signal to
Extended mode
or
Mirror mode

displays, so that you can display different information on each
display connected to your computer. This provides a number of
advantages to increase productivity, including the ability to:
❖
View large spreadsheets across two screens

Multi-task more effectively without overlapping windows
❖
Compare two documents simultaneously across two screens
❖
View media on one screen and send messages on the other
Mirror mode

external display connected to the dynadock™. This mode is useful

display’s resolution, color quality, and refresh rate settings based on
your computer’s settings.
