nView Multi-Display Applications

For extensive information on nView applications, click the Products tab from the
NVIDIA Web site: www.nvidia.com
Engineering or mechanical CAD applications can use multiple displays for different
directional views of an object or a building, such as a front or side view or even a
wireframe model on one screen and a textured version of the same model on another.
Many professional applications offer extensive graphical user interfaces, which can
be left fully enabled and visible on one display, while the second display remains
unobstructed for viewing the actual work.
Training and Presentation — nView Clone mode (see "Enabling nView Clone
Mode" on page 60), where two displays show identical images, is useful for
presentations. A presenter may use the smaller display on the podium, while a
projector display reflects the presentation to the audience. In training applications,
the instructor can see what the student is doing under nView Clone mode. The ability
to see the presentation while itʹs being projected can be especially useful when using
mobile computers.
Virtual Desktop (see "Enabling Virtual Desktop — Clone Mode" on page 62), a sub-
feature of nView Clone Mode, is useful for flat panels and ana log displays with
limited resolution and is used to set a larger than viewable area on the second
display, which supports full pan-and-scan of the entire desktop area.
Digital content creation (DCC) applications can use one display for toolbars and
palettes and the other for rendered output. Additionally, many real-time or game
development environments allow the authoring tools or game engine code to be
visible on one display, while showing the art or game engine in a full screen, game
play-like mode on the second display.
Graphics Artists can have common applications such as Adobe Photoshop or 3D
Studio Max open with the palettes and menus on one display and the other display
dedicated to workspace. Writers can use one display for research and the other for
writing.
Financial applications, such as stock trading applications, can use a pair of large
digital flat panels. This would allow you to watch real-time stock data on one screen
and use the other screen for trading activity.
