Chapter 4 Using nView Multi-Display Settings Figure 4.11 Multiple Displays in nView Horizontal Span Mode Display 1 Display 2 Taskbar is stretched across displays. Background is stretched across displays. • Under Windows XP/2000, you can run nView Span modes with more than two displays. For example, if you are using a Quadro NVS-based graphics card to which you have four displays connected, you can have two sets of two spanned displays. If you are using a Quadro NVS-based graphics card, refer to the document titled "NVIDIA ForceWare Driver for Windows Using nView MultiView Modes with NVIDIA Quadro NVS-based Graphics Cards" Using Horizontal & Vertical Span Modes Note: Span modes do not work if you have only one display attached. In Span mode, the Windows desktop area is spread across both displays. This mode can be set for multiple categories of displays, although display limitations may override the capabilities of your NVIDIA multi-display graphics card. For example, if the second display is an NTSC TV display, depending on the TV encoder on the graphics card, the resolution may not be set above 800 x 600 and the refresh rate cannot be set above 60 Hz. However, the computer's analog display in such a configuration may have its refresh rate and resolution set much higher. The desktop may be "stretched" horizontally or "stacked" vertically, depending on user needs. NVIDIA Corporation 57
