Additional Information

The following section provides additional information on the use of the DisplayLink USB Graphics
software.
Monitor Calibration
DDC/CI is not supported on displays with integrated DisplayLink technology, for example mini monitors.
Media Playback
On Windows 7, Vista and Windows XP (in extend modes), the DisplayLink USB Graphics device can
display media files and DVDs using the following media players:
Windows Media Player 11 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx)
WinDVD 8 (www.intervideo.com)
PowerDVD 7 (www.cyberlink.com)
RealPlayer 11 (www.real.com)
The DisplayLink USB Graphics device can display media files and DVDs using most media players. Media
playback in mirror mode (XP) or in Basic mode (Vista and Windows 7) is not recommended.
Using Multiple DisplayLink USB Graphics devices
The software supports up to six simultaneously USB attached screens. It is also possible that different sets
of screens are being used at different times, for example two in the office and two at home. The software
saves each screen's display profile separately. This allows for different physical positioning, or different
resolutions, of connected monitors in the office and the home.
Standby and Hibernate, Shut down and Restart
If the PC that the DisplayLink USB Graphics device is connected to is placed into standby or hibernate
mode, the display goes blank. When the PC is again powered up (and unlocked if necessary) the connected
monitor returns to the same mode as it was before stand by or hibernation.
If the PC is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the connected display returns to the same mode as it
was before shutdown.
DisplayLink USB Graphics with Multiple Users
DisplayLink USB Graphics work with multiple users on the PC. The mode settings are saved for each user
so each can use their own desktop configuration.
Disconnecting the DisplayLink USB Graphics
If the DisplayLink USB Graphics device is powered off or the USB cable is removed from the computer,
the display blanks. All windows and icons move to the primary screen.
On reconnection or powering up of the DisplayLink USB Graphics device, the display returns to the same
mode as it was before disconnection. However, windows and icons that were previously on the screen will
not be moved back.
