Preparing for Projection

Mirroring Your Desktop
You'll need to mirror the content on your desktop (that is, the full screen of Ziggi-HD Plus's video capture)
and redirect it to your projector device. Please refer to your projector documentation for information
specific to your projector.
The process of mirroring depends upon your operating system. Here are general guidelines for how to
accomplish desktop mirroring in each operating system:
Mac OS
1. Open “System Preferences.”
2. Click “Display.” Set both displays to the same resolution.
3. Click the “Arrangement” tab to click mirroring mode on or off.
4. On MacBooks and some other Macs, mirroring mode can be toggled simply with the F7 key.
Windows 7
1. Windows 7 will pop up a display dialog box when you plug in the projector, with the title “Change the
appearance of your displays.”
2. The second set of options from the bottom is called “Multiple displays.” Select “Duplicate these
displays” to make the projector show your desktop.
Windows 8
1. From the Start screen, click the Desktop tile.
2. Hover your mouse in the bottom-right corner of the screen, then click Devices in the resulting menu.
3. In the Devices window, select Project, then click Duplicate from the available options.
4. You might be prompted to select the device to duplicate/mirror. Do so.
Note: Many classrooms and conference rooms have dedicated consoles for facilitating projection. Please
refer to your IT department for specific instructions.
