22 Vianect AIR Manager

devolo Vianect AIR TV

5 Vianect AIR TV DisplayLink Manager

The Vianect AIR TV DisplayLink Manager helps you configure the screen settings of your TV set or projector. Depending on the application, select one of the possible working modes:

• Mirror mode – Screen content of the computer is reflected exactly to the TV set or projector.
• Extended mode – Television or projector screen serves as screen extension

In the factory defaults, the Vianect AIR TV is set to mirroring.

5.1 Mirror mode

The mirror mode reflects the screen display of the computer identically to the TV set or projector. This setting is particularly useful for applications such as presentations or slide shows. This allows slide content,

images, etc. to be presented conveniently on a larger and higher-resolution screen.

5.2 Extended mode

The extended mode is particularly useful for playing back different content on each screen. In this case, the screen connected via the Vianect AIR TV adapter serves as an expansion or addition to the computer screen. The advantage: individual images positioned next to each other can be "joined together" to create a composite image; this allows you to view multiple applications simultaneously so you can work in them. Extended mode is ideally suited for playing back HD videos (1280 x 720).

The image quality of videos played back directly from the Internet can be optimised using Adobe Flash Player. For detailed information on this topic, refer to the Help file of the Vianect AIR Manager or the online FAQs on our website, www.devolo.com.

5.3 Configuration in Windows 7

Windows 7 supports the connection of external screens by default. Call up the corresponding menu by pressing the Windows and P keys simultaneously.

• Select Computer only if you are working via the computer screen exclusively.
• Select Duplicate to configure mirror mode.
• Select Extend to configure extended mode.
• Select Projector only if you work with a connected laptop screen and want to operate the external screen connected via the Vianect AIR TV adapter using the keyboard and mouse of the laptop.

As soon as a connection to the Vianect AIR TV adapter is established, the icon of the Vianect AIR TV DisplayLink Manager 📄 appears in the Windows toolbar. By clicking this icon, you can reach the display settings.
