Chapter 3 Using Your Computer 43
External Video Support (DVI, VGA, Composite,
and S-Video)
Your computer has a video (mini-DVI) port and adapters that allow you to connect a
display or projector with a DVI or VGA connector. Use the included Mini-DVI to DVI
Adapter and Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter to connect your PowerBook to monitors and
projectors that have DVI or VGA output. You can connect an Apple flat-panel display;
some earlier models of a flat-panel display may require an Apple DVI to ADC Display
Adapter, which is sold separately.
You can also display and record computer images by connecting a TV, video projector,
or videocassette recorder (VCR), or play DVD-Video discs on your television, using a
Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (sold separately), which supports composite and S-video
connections.
When an external monitor or television is connected, you can either have the same
image appear on both the internal display and the external monitor (known as video-
mirroring mode) or use the external monitor to extend the size of the Mac OS desktop
(known as dual-display mode). By default, your PowerBook starts up in dual-display
mode. Press the F7 (i) key to switch between dual-display and video-mirroring modes.
