Mirroring (Windows 2000/XP and later)

Mirroring, also called cloning, means showing the same thing on 2 or more monitors.

Some applications for mirroring:

  • Presentations, with the same presentation being shown on both a monitor for the presenter and a projector for the audience

  • showing documents on a second monitor to a client who is sitting opposite of you

UltraMon offers a very flexible software mirroring solution:

  • mirror to one or more monitors
  • use different resolutions for the mirror source and destination monitor
  • source and destination monitors can be driven by different video cards

Here is a screenshot of the mirror settings dialog, configured to mirror monitor 1 (the primary monitor) on monitor 2.

In addition to fullscreen mirroring, it is also possible to mirror a monitor to a small window (Monitor Preview feature).

If you need to mirror video/DVD or 3D applications: this may or may not work, depending on the application and operating system.
