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.

Standard Mode
The Standard 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.
