Page 10 of 16
C. nView Multi-Display
With NVIDIA nView Technology, you can display computer screen over two displays at the
same time and control the desktop displays across two output devices. And there are
different modes available. [Note: Depending on the type of your display device, the options
in this page you see may differ from the example in section]
! Enabling nView Multi-Display
1. Right click on desktop and enter NVIDIA control panel
2. Enter Display category and select Change Display Configuration option
3. Select your preferred nView display modes here
! nView Display Mode
1. The same on both display (Clone)
Clone mode indicates that both displays in the display pair show images of the
same desktop.
2. As one large horizontal desktop (Horizontal span)
Horizontal Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as
one desktop.
3. As one large vertical desktop (Vertical span)
Vertical Span mode indicates that both displays in the display pair function as one
tall virtual desktop. The height of each display is half the height of the total virtual
desktop height.
4. Configured independently from each other (Dualview)
Dualview mode indicates that both displays in the setup as one virtual desktop.
Each display is treated as a separate device. This means that the taskbar will not
be stretched across displays and 3D applications are not accelerated as efficiently
as when the application spans displays.

D. HDTV Mode
The NVIDIA driver provides three user-correction methods, “Underscan”, “Overscan” and
“Native” , to resolve the problem of the Windows desktop overscanned and cutting off the
Windows taskbar Start button. The Table summarizes the various correction methods and
reasons for the use.
User task
Watch
movies
Recommended Mode
Native
Reasons
Underscan correction always
reduces the quality of the video
being watched since it changes the
size of the native video resolution
by compressing the size of the
pixels.
Windows
Applications
Overscan shift / Underscan
Browsing the web requires that the
end user see all information in the
browser window. Eitehr of these
modes will allow the users
accomplish this and provide the
best web viewing experience.
Play fullscreen
games
Underscan
If the application correctly queries
the graphics driver and requests
the modes it supports, you will be
able to play the game in the
corrected underscan mode and
see all of the information on your
display.
! Underscan
The Underscan setting works by centering a lower resolution on the HDTV screen, the
dimensions of which you can further adjust with sliders in the current release of the driver.
For the component out, NVIDIA determined through market research that 15% overscan is
common with many TVs. NVIDIA used this information to create two custom resolutions that
are optimal for Web browsing, running applications, and playing games on HDTV sets. These
resolutions are:
720p: 1088 x 612 (85% of the full 1280 x 720)
1080i: 1600 x 900 (1632 x 918 is 85% of the full 1920 x 1080, but 1600 x 900 is used instead.)
! Overscan Shift
The Overscan shift setting enables you to pan the desktop, when needed, to access any display
elements that appear off-screen.
The overscan shift feature works by tracking the position of the mouse cursor and slightly
shifting the display when the cursor starts to become close to an edge of the desktop. This mode
looks just like “native” HDTV formats (720p, 1080i) because it runs at the full HDTV
resolution, which causes certain elements of the desktop, such as the start button and the clock
on the windows taskbar, to not be visible at all times. But as the mouse cursor gets close to these
desktop elements, the NVIDIA driver intelligently shifts the desktop to little in order to move
those elements into view.

! Native
In the third technique, native mode, no overscan compensation is done in order to give the user
a true cinematic experience. This is useful when you do not want and pixel compression and do
not want to use the mouse to shift the desktop image.
9. Using Video-in (VIVO card only)
Before continuing this section, it is important to ensure that your graphics card has built-in
Video-In-Video-Out (VIVO) function. Do not install the Video-in Drivers, if your card does
not support VIVO function.
1. From the menu of installation program in Universal CD Drivers, select INSTALL
DRIVERS → Video In Drivers.
2. The installation of Nvidia WDM Capture Drivers is started, click Next to continue. If
Windows warns that driver has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue
Anyway to continue the installation.
3. Click Finish to restart your computer.
Page 13 of 16
4. After restarting your system, Windows detects new devices and displays the
“Found New Hardware” Wizard. You are going to go through 4 Found New
Hardware screen for 4 WDM drivers that include WDM Video Capture, WDM
TVTuner, WDM TVAudio Crossbar and WDM A/V Crossbar. Click Next at each
screen to install the specified driver.
5. At the end, you can find the following new devices in Device Manager.
