Configuring HDTV
Using HDTV as the Primary Display in nView Clone Mode
Based on the connector in use, all the associated HDTV formats (
Television/HDTV Formats for Analog and Digital Outputs” on page 81
) will be
available in the nView Display Settings context menu available from the TV display
icons as well as from the TV Settings screen.
The secondary display (an analog or digital display) will start panning if the selected
primary HDTV resolution is greater than the maximum EDID mode of the secondary
or
if the selected physical secondary resolution is less than primary HDTV resolution.
If the selected primary HDTV screen resolution is lower than that of the secondary
display, the resolution will be scaled up if the secondary display is an analog display
or, if it is a digital display, the desktop can have a black border.
If you use plasma displays with burn-in display issues, you can use the
Video
border
option on the TV Output page to display grey instead of black for the borders
when the selected resolution is smaller than the selected native HDTV format. See
“Device Adjustments — TV Output” on page 76
.
Using HDTV as the Secondary Display in nView Clone Mode
If HDTV is secondary all of the formats that the TV natively supports or in single
display are available.
If the primary resolution is smaller than the HDTV, then the HDTV needs to upscale
it to fit the current format or black borders will appear around the desktop. To reduce
the brightness of the border, you can use the
Video border
option on the TV Output
page; see
“Device Adjustments — TV Output” on page 76
If the primary resolution is greater than the HDTV format, then HDTV will pan on
the secondary display. Any format change on the secondary HDTV display causes
the physical mode to change, based on the associated resolution for the selected
format. See
“Television and HDTV Formats and Desktop Resolutions” on page 83
.
Using HDTV in nView Dualview Mode
As with nView Single Display mode, based on the connector (
HDTV Formats for Analog and Digital Outputs” on page 81
) in use, all the associated
HDTV formats (
