Installing the Display Drivers
Once the XtremeVision-Pro+ card has been installed and the boot messages are appearing on the correct monitor, you can start
Windows.
The Found New Hardware Wizard will announce that new hardware has been found. Do not use the Found New Hardware
Wizard to install the XtremeVision-Pro+ drivers. Install the XDDM or the WDDM display drivers from the Software Installation
Media supplied with the XtremeVision-Pro+ card.
If your final configuration has less than four screens select the number of screens required, otherwise select four screens.
Restart the machine.
When Windows starts up, the desktop should be spread over all the screens connected to the XtremeVision-Pro+.
Note:
The XtremeVision-Pro+ requires the EMS Display Driver Install V4.1.1 or later.
Multi Screen Drivers
XDDM
The XDDM Display Driver places the Windows desktop across all the screens connected to XtremeVision-Pro+ cards in the
system. XDDM is the legacy driver architecture used by graphics drivers from Windows 2000 through to Windows 7 and Windows
Server 2008 R2. It is not supported by Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012. The EMS XDDM drivers provide a robust,
multi-screen platform with advanced video capture and display capabilities.
The XDDM driver currently supports up to 16 XtremeVision-Pro+ cards (64 display outputs) in a single system.
WDDM
The WDDM Display Driver places the Windows desktop across the screens connected to the XtremeVision-Pro+ cards. WDDM is
the driver architecture used by modern Windows Operating Systems such as Windows 10. It aims to provide improved graphics
performance, additional functionality and operating system stability improvements.
The EMS WDDM driver currently provides support for up to 12 XtremeVision-Pro+ cards (48 display outputs) in a single system.
