nView Applications
Note:
For extensive information on nView applications, refer to the Products
tab on the NVIDIA Web site:
www.nvidia.com
•
Engineering or mechanical CAD applications
can use multiple displays
for different directional views of an object or a building, such as a front or
side view or even a wireframe model on one screen and a textured version of
the same model on another. Many professional applications offer extensive
graphical user interfaces, which can be left fully enabled and visible on one
display, while the second display remains unobstructed for viewing the actual
work.
•
Training and Presentation:
nView
Clone mode
, where two monitors
display identical images, is useful for presentations. A presenter may use the
smaller monitor on the podium, while a projector monitor 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 it's being projected can be especially useful in mobile
PCs.
Virtual Desktop
, a sub-feature of nView Clone Mode, is useful for flat
panels and monitors 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
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 monitor and the
other monitor dedicated to workspace.
Writers
can use one monitor 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 PC display and one NTSC
monitor. Since nView technology allows decoupling of refresh rates, the PC
(editing) display could be a high-resolution RGB monitor for running the
application (Adobe Premiere, for example), while the second display device
