from the computer.
The following video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them, are supported by the
fn+f2 hotkey:
● LCD (computer display)
● External VGA (most external monitors)
● S-Video (televisions, camcorders, DVD players, VCRs, and video capture cards with S-Video-in
jacks)
● HDMI (televisions, camcorders, DVD players, VCRs, and video capture cards with HDMI ports)
● Composite video (televisions, camcorders, DVD players, VCRs, and video capture cards with

NOTE: Composite video devices can be connected to the system only by using an optional
docking device.
