Connecting a second monitor for video mirroring
You can connect a second, external monitor to your computer to display the
same images that are on the computer’s built-in monitor. Displaying your
computer’s images on a second monitor, called video mirroring, is useful
for presentations.
If you want to use video mirroring, you need an Apple External Video
Connector (available from your retailer) with an external monitor attached.
(If your computer doesn’t have this connector, you can install one.)
The external monitor must use the same resolution and timing as the built-in
monitor. If you want to display your built-in monitor’s images on a standard
TV or record them using a VCR, you’ll need the Apple Presentation System,
which adds these capabilities when used with the external video connector
kit. The Apple External Video Connector kit and the Apple Presentation
System are available for purchase from computer stores. (Some computers
come with the Apple External Video Connector kit and/or the Apple
Presentation System.)
For more information about the monitors that you can connect to your
computer for video mirroring, see Appendix D.
