nView Span Modes vs. Dualview Mode Features

nView Horizontal and Vertical 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.
Figure 4.11 shows 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.

• 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.
