Preparing Your Setup for Projection

Preparing for Projection
You’ll need to mirror the content on your desktop (that is, the full screen of Ziggi’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 XP
1. Right-click the desktop, and click “Properties.”
2. In the dialog box, click the “Settings” tab.
3. Click the “Display” list, and you should see the Projector model listed as an alternate display option.
4. Select the projector, then click the option to “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.”
Windows Vista
Windows Vista will often automatically detect the projector and default into mirroring mode. If Windows
can’t identify the monitor, you can use Windows Mobility Center (available on mobile PCs) to connect the
display:
1. Click the “Start” button.
2. Click “Control Panel.”
3. Click “Mobile PC,” and then click “Windows Mobility Center.”
4. On the “External Display” tile, you can click “Connect display.” There will be a “New Display Detected”
dialog box. Press “OK” to connect the display.
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.
Note: Many classrooms and conference rooms have dedicated consoles for facilitating projection. Please
refer to your IT department for specific instructions.
