Introduction

Connect monitors

(page 1 of 2)
You can connect up to two monitors. The codec distributes the
layout on all available monitors.
Always switch off power when you connect and
disconnect monitors and other peripherals.
Automatic setup
There is no special configuration needed on the codec in order
to support dual monitors scenarios. By default the number of
monitors are auto-detected, and the role of each monitor -
whether it is intended to be the first, or second monitor - is
automatically set according to the physical connections.
For example, if the total number of monitors are two, the following
settings will be assumed when set to Auto:
• Video > Monitors : Dual
• Video > Output > Connector 1 > MonitorRole
• Video > Output > Connector 2 > MonitorRole
These settings can be changed if necessary, but for ease of use
no configuration is required in order to use the default values.

When do you need manual setup
You can override the default behavior by setting one or more
settings manually. You need manual setup when you want to:
• Dedicate a monitor to only show presentations
• Replicate the same layout on more than one monitor
• Show the on-screen messages and indicators (OSD) on
another monitor than the video output with the lowest number
• Set the resolution manually, e.g. if the codec fails to detect the

native resolution and refresh rate of a monitor
