Chapter 4 Using nView Multi-Display Settings Using nView Clone Mode Note: You must have at least two displays connected to your computer in order to see the Clone mode setting. nView Horizontal Span, Vertical Span, Clone, and Dualview modes support advanced NVIDIA features such as Video Mirroring. In Clone mode, two displays show identical images, which is useful for presentations. For example, Clone mode is useful when giving presentations. The presenter may have a small display or other display on the podium while a projector or presentation quality display shows the larger image to the audience. Full support for virtual desktops is available for flat panels and displays with limited resolution. Virtual desktops offer full pan-and-scan of the desktop and can be configured for one or both displays. See Enabling nView Clone Mode in the next section. In application Zoom mode (a feature of nView Desktop Manager), part of the image from the primary display is shown on the secondary display, but zoomed in. This mode can be used for image editing, close-up work in modeling or CAD applications, or image processing and mapping applications. nView Clone mode supports the "Video Mirror" feature, where you may want to dedicate an application to one of the two displays or run the application across both displays. Examples include entertainment applications, digital video editing, and DVD playback. See "Using Full Screen Video Settings" on page 128. Enabling nView Clone Mode 1 Click nView Display Setting from the NVIDIA display menu. 2 From the nView Modes list, select Clone and click Apply. Figure 4.14 show the primary display is designated by a and the secondary display is designated by b. Both display are identified with the same number - 2 in this case (this number can be another Windows display number, depending on your configuration) - because nView Clone mode implies the two displays are duplicate desktop images and, therefore, Windows identifies them with the same number. 60 User's Guide
