Advanced properties for MXRT controller

To access the advanced properties configuration pages for the display controller(s) for your B Advanced button in the Graphics Device Information section.

There are several pages accessible from the advanced configuration button. They are:

• Barco Adapter Configuration

• OpenGL

• Direct3D

• Rotation (when supported)

•Details

• OpenGL Profiles

ARCO NIO FUSION 4MP Display System, click on the

Barco Adapter Configuration

The Barco Adapter Configuration page allows you to switch between the following monitor configurations and display options for the displays connected to a Barco MXRT controller:

Display Layout

• DualView Both displays are enabled independent of each other.

• SingleView A single large desktop spans across both displays.

Graphic board control panel

•Clone The primary display is cloned to the secondary display.

Color Format

• 24-Bit TrueColor Mode

• 30-Bit TrueColor Mode (HDR)

Display Resolution

• Sets display resolution for 1 or 2 displays.

Note: To switch out of SingleView or Clone mode, the buttons in this Control Panel page must be used. The main Windows Control Panel cannot be used. Depending on your system, certain configurations can be disabled.

Note: Clone Mode is supported for two color displays or projectors in 32bpp. Clone mode is not supported on grayscale displays. Also, HDR is not supported while in Clone Mode.

When choosing Clone Mode under the Barco Adapter Configuration page, if two displays are enabled, then the larger of the two current resolutions will be used. If only one of the two displays is enabled, the enabled displayís current resolution will be used.

When the resolution set for clone mode is larger then the maximum supported on a display, the resolution set on the Master will automatically be scaled to maximum resolution of the Cloned display. If the Scale to Display Preferred Mode is checked, the maximum resolution will be the EDID preferred mode. If it is unchecked, then it will be the largest mode in the Cloned displays mode list. Clone mode can only be exited through the Barco Adapter Configuration page in the Barco Advanced Control Panel.

Note: Not all options are available at all times. Please select the help tips in the driver software for more information.

OpenGL and Direct3D

The OpenGL and Direct3D pages of the Advanced Properties page are divided into two sections: Main Settings and Custom Settings.

Main Settings

In the Main Settings section there is a slider bar which allows the user to adjust the OpenGL or Direct3D settings for optimum performance, optimum quality or for a point in between. There is also a checkbox provided for enabling Custom Settings.

Custom Settings

Note: Barco recommends that you use the default settings, unless your viewing application vendor provides detailed information on custom settings.

In the Custom Settings section the user can fine tune the following options:

• Anisotropic filtering

• SMOOTHVISION

• Wait for Vertical Sync

Anisotropic Filtering

Anisotropic filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. It works best when used in conjunction with Mipmapping.

Anisotropic filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality.

Note: If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering, use the Application Preference option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application’s requirements.

Graphic board control panel

Please refer to the on-line help (click on the “?” in the control panel’s openGL tab) for more information on using advanced features such as Anisotropic Filtering.

SMOOTHVISION

The Advanced Settings tab enables you to apply ATI’s SMOOTHVISION technology for full-scene anti-aliasing. SMOOTHVISION improves image quality by removing jagged edges (anti-aliasing) from 3D images, resulting in smoother, more natural looking objects.

Please refer to the on-line help for more information on using advanced features such as SMOOTHVISION.

Wait for Vertical Sync:

• For OpenGL the default setting is Default Off.

• For Direct3D the default setting is Application Preference.

Please refer to the on-line help for more information on using advanced features such as Wait for Vertical Sync.

Rotation

The Rotation page is visible only when the display connected to the current (active) head of your Barco MXRT display controller does not support rotation internally. The Rotation feature allows the user to rotate the Windows desktop to match the physical orientation of the display.

(Device) Details

The Details page provides detailed information about the display controller connected to the active display. This information is useful in debugging issues that may occur when using your B 4MP Display(s).
