nView™ Features:

The nView functionality allows for a multi-display environment, whether it is through multiple
computer monitors (either digital or analog) or by using a monitor in conjunction with a
television set. The ability to use multiple displays within Windows can simplify many everyday
tasks by spreading out the Windows Desktop area or by allowing you to watch your favorite DVD
movie on your television.

Single Mode

The Single Mode option in the nView control panel disables the nView feature, allowing
viewing in only one display.

DualView

Feature available across all operating systems except Windows 95 and Windows NT. A multi-
display capable graphics card will be able to have two independent resolutions that can be
configured differently from each other. Unlike nView span mode, where the desktop stretches
across two screens, DualView can control different resolutions, color depth and refresh rates
settings for each display.

Horizontal and Vertical Span Modes

In these modes, the desktop area is spread across both displays. This mode can be set for either
horizontal or vertical orientation.

Note: Due to operating system differences between Windows 98/ME/XP and Windows NT/
2000, the latter does not currently offer true multi-monitor support for Span mode under a
single dual-head graphics card such as the dual-head GeForce. As a result, the size of the
actual desktop is limited to twice the smaller size of the two displays. The desktop can be
extended either horizontally or vertically, but cannot be extended at other angles as under
Windows 98/ME.

Clone Mode

In Clone Mode, two monitors display identical images, which is useful for presentations. A
presenter may use the smaller monitor on the podium, while a projector monitor reflects the
presentation to the audience.

Video Mirror

Video Mirror works in conjunction with nView that allows a video or DVD application to mirror
its playback in full-screen on any one of the connected display devices. In other words, Video
Mirror allows video data that is displayed on a hardware overlay to be displayed at full-screen
size on a secondary display.
