You can switch directly to Dualview/Twinview mode while operating the SDI output. See "Basic SDI Setup Under Clone Mode" on page 29.  Dualview mode (TwinView): In Dualview mode the SDI device is treated as a regular flat panel and you can define one large desktop that extends from the display to the SDI output. This lets you move windows between the SDI output and the graphics (DVI) display part of the extended desktop. See "Basic SDI Setup with X‐window or under Dualview Mode" on page 32.  X‐screen mode: You can display the SDI output on an x‐window. In X‐screen mode the SDI device is treated as a flat panel that gets its own X screen. See "Basic SDI Setup with X‐window or under Dualview Mode" on page 32. 1.

LINUX—USING THE GRAPHICS TO
VIDEO OUT CONTROL PANEL
This chapter explains how to set up the NVIDIA Quadro SDI graphics cards under Linux
using the NVIDIA
Graphics to Video Out
properties page
1
.
It contains the following sections:
“How to Set Up the SDI Output” on page 28
provides step
‐
by
‐
step instructions for
using the control panel to set up the SDI output.
“Advanced Setups” on page 36
explains other controls that are available besides the
basic setup controls.
How to Set Up the SDI Output
This section describes how to set up SDI output on the linux system. There are four
methods of using the SDI output. Each are mutually exclusive–you cannot use the SDI
output in more than one mode at a time.
Clone mode
: In Clone mode, the SDI output is a clone of the display output. This is
the default mode. You can switch directly to Dualview/Twinview mode while
operating the SDI output.
See
“Basic SDI Setup Under Clone Mode” on page 29
.
Dualview mode (TwinView)
: In Dualview mode the SDI device is treated as a
regular flat panel and you can define one large desktop that extends from the display
to the SDI output. This lets you move windows between the SDI output and the
graphics (DVI) display part of the extended desktop.
See
“Basic SDI Setup with X
‐
window or under Dualview Mode” on page 32
.
X
‐
screen mode
: You can display the SDI output on an x
‐
window. In X
‐
screen mode
the SDI device is treated as a flat panel that gets its own X screen.
See
“Basic SDI Setup with X
‐
window or under Dualview Mode” on page 32
