Using Video Mirroring With A Powerbook Computer - Toshiba TDP B1 User Manual

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer

When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer Power-
Books—see below) on, the projector displays the same information that
appears on your PowerBook's built-in screen. When video mirroring is
off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
2 Set the number of colors you want.
3 Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
4 Select "Turn Video Mirroring On."
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip
without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide
shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If
this happens, perform the following steps:
1 Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the pri-
mary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or pro-
jector differently than previous ones. When using SimulScan, the pro-
jector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and Sound.
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click OK.
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears. Click OK
to confirm the change.
