Using nView Span Modes

Note: nView Span modes do not apply under Windows 9x operating systems.
Note: You must have at least two displays connected to your computer to view the
Span mode settings.
nView horizontal and vertical Span modes treat multiple displays as a single large
desktop. In this mode, the desktop area is spread across both displays, however the
operating system treats both displays as one large display. For this reason, the refresh
rate, color depth, and resolution on both displays will be identical, and cannot be
changed independently. The desktop may be "stretched" horizontally or "stacked"
vertically, depending on your needs, as explained in "Using Horizontal & Vertical
Span Modes" on page
• nView Horizontal Span mode allows you to extend the Windows desktop across
two displays horizontally. In this mode the two displays combine to form a wide,
spanned display surface, which is useful when viewing items that are wider then a
single display.
• nView Vertical Span mode allows you to extend the Windows desktop across
two displays vertically. In this mode the two displays combine to form a tall,
spanned display surface, which is useful when viewing items that are taller then a
single display.
nView Span modes supports the "video mirror" feature, where you may want to
dedicate an application to one of the two displays or run the application across both
displays. Examples include entertainment applications, digital video editing, and
DVD playback. For details, see "Using Full Screen Video Settings" on page
