connect for the first time:

1. Enter the

Windows logo key

+

P

, which opens the Project pane on the right

side of Surface Hub 2S, and then select

Duplicate

mode.

2. When you’re finished with your Surface Hub 2S session, select

End Session

.

This ensures that the duplicate setting is saved for the next session.

Plan for different aspect ratios.

Like other Surface devices, Surface Hub 2S uses a

3:2 display aspect ratio (the relationship between the width and the height of the
display). Projecting Surface Hub 2S onto displays with different aspect ratios is
supported. Note however that because Surface Hub 2S duplicates the display, the
MiniDP output will also only display in a 3:2 aspect ratio, which may result in
letterboxing or curtaining depending on the aspect ratio of the receiving display.

Note the following recommendations:

USB.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 cables.

MiniDP.

DisplayPort cables certified for up to 3 meters in length.

HDMI.

If a long cable is necessary, HDMI is recommended due to the wide

availability of cost-effective, long-haul cables with the ability to install repeaters if
needed.

Note

if your second monitor uses a 16:9 aspect ratio (the predominant ratio for most TV
monitors), black bars may appear on the left and right sides of the mirrored display.
If this occurs, you may wish to inform your users that there is no need to adjust the
second display.

Tip

Most DisplayPort sources will automatically switch to HDMI signaling if HDMI is
detected.
