  • Page 57: Display Modes

    B.3.1 Display modes  Clone mode Initially on PCs, the multiple output interface was designed to display the same image on all output interfaces (sometimes referred to as mirroring or cloning). This reflected the fact that these video cards were originally used in presentations where the user typically had his or her face to the audience with a duplicate of the projected image available to the presenter.
