Connecting a second monitor for video mirroring
If you have the optional Apple external video connector, 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 your computer doesn’t have the optional Apple external video connector,
you can install one.
The external monitor must use the same resolution and timing as the built-in
monitor. Depending on what 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 standard TV or
record them using a VCR, you’ll need the Apple Presentation System, which
adds these capabilities when used with the Apple external video connector
kit. The Apple external video connector kit and the Apple Presentation
System are available for purchase from computer stores.
For more information about the monitors that you can connect to your
computer for video mirroring, see the Te c h n i c a l In f o r m a t i o n booklet that came
with your computer.
