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 external video connector
with an external monitor attached. (If your computer doesn’t have a
connector, you can install one.)
The built-in monitor must use the same resolution and timing (refresh rate) as
the external monitor. Depending on the type of monitor you have added, you
may need to change the built-in monitor’s setting to one that the external
monitor is capable of displaying.
If you want to display your built-in monitor’s images on a television 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
external video connector kit and the Apple Presentation System are available
for purchase from Apple-authorized dealers.
