nView Multi-Display Applications

For extensive information on nView applications, click the

Products

tab from the

NVIDIA Web site:

www.nvidia.com

Engineering or mechanical CAD applications

can use multiple displays for different

directional views of an object or a building, such as a front or side view or even a

wireframe model on one screen and a textured version of the same model on another.

Many professional applications offer extensive graphical user interfaces, which can

be left fully enabled and visible on one display, while the second display remains

unobstructed for viewing the actual work.

Training and Presentation —

nView

Clone mode

(see

“Enabling nView Clone

Mode” on page 60

), where two displays show identical images, is useful for

presentations. A presenter may use the smaller display on the podium, while a

projector display reflects the presentation to the audience. In training applications,

the instructor can see what the student is doing under nView Clone mode. The ability

to see the presentation while it

s being projected can be especially useful when using

mobile computers.

Virtual Desktop

(see

“Enabling Virtual Desktop — Clone Mode” on page 62

), a sub-

feature of nView Clone Mode, is useful for flat panels and ana log displays with

limited resolution and is used to set a larger than viewable area on the second

display, which supports full pan-and-scan of the entire desktop area.

Digital content creation (DCC)

applications can use one display for toolbars and

palettes and the other for rendered output. Additionally, many real-time or game

development environments allow the authoring tools or game engine code to be

visible on one display, while showing the art or game engine in a full screen, game

play-like mode on the second display.

Graphics Artists

can have common applications such as Adobe Photoshop or 3D

Studio Max

open with the palettes and menus on one display and the other display

dedicated to workspace.

Writers

can use one display for research and the other for

writing.

Financial

applications, such as stock trading applications, can use a pair of large

digital flat panels. This would allow you to watch real-time stock data on one screen

and use the other screen for trading activity.
