1 1 DISPLAYLINK MAC DRIVER Driver Installation/Setup Guide

2 2 What is the InFocus DisplayLink Mac Driver? The InFocus DisplayLink Mac driver enables you to add an additional monitor to your Intel based Mac using DisplayLink technology. This driver allows you to run your InFocus DisplayLink enabled projector on any Intel based desktop or laptop Mac, allowing you to connect up to 4 additional monitors via USB. Using the DisplayLink driver DisplayLink software for Macintosh is provided as a driver only (DisplayLink Manager software is not included). Once the driver is installed and your projector is connected, the driver will appear as another monitor connected to your Mac. Note: Power PC-based Macintosh computers, such as late-model imacs, PowerBooks and PowerMacs, are not currently supported.
