Single Display

Mode

Independent Mode allows two displays working independently and separately, which is a very common multi-display conﬁguration in Windows 2000 and XP. Each Display needs to be set up separately.

Stretched Mode is where two displays, connected to the same card and running at the same resolution, are combined into one wide screen desktop. This conﬁguration is usually used in Windows NT4.0.

Note: Four displays that are connected to two cards cannot be combined into one wide screen desktop.

Changing multi-display modes

Open the PowerDesk-HF menu by using one of the following methods:

• Double click the PowerDesk-HF icon in the taskbar, or

• Select Display Properties>Settings(tab)>Advanced>

PowerDesk(tab) and click "Power Desk HF."

- 14 -

ENGLISH

Select "Multi-Display Setup."

Select a multi-display mode.

Stretched Mode : Select "2 displays, Stretched mode." Independent Mode : Select "2 displays, Independent mode." Single Display Mode : Select "1 display."

Repeat step 3 for each card and click "Yes."

Note: When switching from or to Independent Mode, the computer restarts

automatically.

Conﬁrm the multi-display mode settings you have selected.

When in Stretched Mode:

1) Check the physical arrangement of the two displays (see step 7 on page 12).

2) Select Display Properties>Settings(tab) and check the display icons and resolution.

When in Independent Mode (Independent mode):

1) Select Display Properties>Settings(tab) and check the display icons and resolution.

Grayscale Mode

About grayscale modes

The following modes are available:

8 bit Grayscale (256 shades of gray)

● Static linear gray palette/Fixed linear gray palette (default)

● Static non-linear gray palette/Fixed non-linear gray palette

● Dynamic gray palette/Programmable gray palette (not recommended)

Color

● 32 bit color mode

● 16 bit color (not recommended)

● 8 bit color (not recommended)

Note:

• The modes we do not recommend do not support display of 256 shades of gray.

• See the table below for the names of color modes in your operating system.

Windows 2000 Windows XP

32 bit Color True Color Highest [32 bit] 16 bit Color High Color Medium [16 bit]

8 bit Color 256 Colors Low [8 bit]

For color displays, use 32 bit color mode.

For monochrome displays, 8 bit grayscale modes and 32 bit color mode are available. We recommend "Static linear gray palette/Fixed linear gray palette" if you prefer drawing speed.

When a color display is included, we recommend 32 bit color mode if you wish to avoid color palette-related problems. However, the drawing speed in 32 bit color mode may be slower than when in gray palette modes.

To realize multi gradation display with the use of certain applications (viewers) or to use DIrect3D or OpenGL, 32 bit color mode is recommended.

Changing grayscale modes

Select PowerDesk-HF>Grayscale Settings.
