Chapter 4 Using nView Multi-Display Settings Training and Presentation - nView Clone mode (see "Enabling nView Clone Mode" on page 57), 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 itʹs being projected can be especially useful when using mobile computers. Virtual Desktop (see "Enabling Virtual Desktop - Clone Mode" on page 59), 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. Video editing applications would use one large computer display and one NTSC display. Since nView technology allows decoupling of refresh rates, the primary (editing) display could be a high‐resolution RGB display for running the application (Adobe Premiere, for example), while the second display can be an NTSC or S‐Video display for checking the video output for proper color balance and quality. Entertainment applications can use multiple display support in several ways. Game titles, such as Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2000, support multiple displays out of the box. With nView Clone mode, game play can be sent to a big screen TV or even to a VCR. Home theater systems can take advantage of the DVD capabilities of your computer. Simply hook up a large screen television as your second display and you can watch DVDs - without having to buy a dedicated DVD player. See "Using Full Screen Video Settings" on page 120.
