nView Span Modes vs. Dualview Mode Features
nView

Span
mode
support
and
functionality
include
the
following:
• DirectX
or
OpenGL
applications
in
Span
modes
are
fully
accelerated.
• In
nView
Span
mode,
your
Windows
desktop
is
“stretched”
or
“spans”
all
of
your
displays.
In
Span
mode,
Windows
treats
the
multiple
displays
as
a
single
“logical”
display
connected
to
your
computer
–––
the
real
“physical”
displays
are
combined
together
to
give
you
this
“logical”
display.

an
example
of
running
Span
modes
under
Windows
XP
with
both
of
the
two
displays
set
to
1280x1024
resolution.
In
this
configuration,
Windows
recognizes
only
a
single
display
running
at
2x1280x1024
or
2560x1024.

Multiple Displays in nView Horizontal Span Mode
• The
key
point
to
remember
when
running
nView
Span
modes
is
that
Windows
does
not
detect
that
you
have
two
displays
connected
–
as
far
as
it
is
concerned,
you
have
an
oversized
display.
This
is
the
reason
that
you
cannot
use
different
bit
depths
or
resolutions
per
display.
