HP Dx5150 SurroundView Display Configurations - Page 2

Introduction SurroundView is the ATI technology that provides multi-graphics controller display capability for both the ATI PCIe-based graphics card and the ATI integrated graphics processor (IGP). This document outlines sample display configurations with SurroundView enabled on the Radeon Xpress 200 ATI chipset incorporated into the HP dx5150 Business PC. Enabling SurroundView does not impact display modes (resolution and color depth) or performance. The display mode of each output is controlled independently by the graphics controller connected to it. The modes listed in the table below vary for each system configuration and are dependent on monitor capabilities. These values are the absolute maximum, assuming memory bandwidth is not a limiting factor. Radeon Xpress 200 Display Configuration Figure 1. Radeon Xpress 200 Display Configuration Up to four displays can be connected to an Radeon Xpress 200 system with a single PCIe graphics card and SurroundView enabled. More than four displays are possible using additional PCI graphics controllers. The Radeon Xpress 200 supports a Digital Video Interface (DVI) connected to a Digital Flat Panel (DFP), in addition to analog output to a VGA monitor or TV.
