Clone Mode

Note: Clone Mode does not work if you have only one display device attached.

Note: The Windows 2000 NVIDIA control panel screens shown in this

document also apply to Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP; exceptions

are noted, where applicable.

In Clone mode, two monitors display identical images, which is useful for

presentations. A presenter may use the smaller monitor on the podium, while a

projector monitor reflects the presentation to the audience.

The example in this section starts with the Analog Monitor (CRT) as the

primary display and TV or DFP as the secondary display. Make sure your

display devices are powered on before you access the TwinView panel. If you

power on the devices after you have opened the TwinView panel, click Detect

Displays to enable the devices.

To access TwinView Clone mode, follow these steps:

1 Be sure your display devices are powered on before you access the

TwinView panel.

2 Click the Clone mode option on the TwinView control panel and click

Apply.

3 Click OK and Yes when the status messages appear. Your current screen is

duplicated on the clone display.

4 If necessary, click Detect Displays to enable devices. Figure 6.16 shows a

TwinView Clone mode control panel.

5 Right-click monitor icon 1 to view the context menu for the primary display,

which is CRT (analog monitor) in this example (Figure 6.16).

6 From the context menu, click Select Output Device to select the Device

Selection panel. Figure 6.17 correctly shows Analog Monitor as the selected

output device for display 1.

7 Click OK to return to the TwinView control panel.

8 Click monitor icon 2 to view the secondary display. Figure 6.18 shows TV as

the secondary display. Figure 6.19 shows DFP as the secondary display.

9 Click the Select Output Device button to display the Device Selection

control panel.

Figure 6.20 shows TV as the selected output device for the secondary display

(display 2). For information on configuring your TV display, see “TV

Settings” on page 91.
