HP SVA V2.1 System Administration Guide

After you successfully create a new Display Surface, it is added to the list of available Display
Surfaces in the Site Configuration File. It is now available for use when launching a visualization
job.
Now consider the example display_d from Table 2-2 of a 2W x 2 H Display Surface as shown
in Figure 2-6. In this case, each display block has a 2 W x 1 H configuration using two display
devices. This example uses two display blocks to create a Display Surface that contains two pairs
of display devices — one pair above the other. Each pair of display devices maps to a single
display block. The second display block is oriented above the first display block as shown in
Figure 2-6.

To create such a Display Surface, follow these steps:
1. Begin by choosing the Create option and entering the name for the new Display Surface.
After specifying whether it is a mono or stereo display and the default tile resolution, you
will see a list of the available display blocks, for example:
Width Height Number of Nodes
1) 1 1 2
2) 2 1 2
3) 2 2 2
4) 1 4 2
2. Pick the type of display block you want to use. In this case, you enter the number 2 because
you want to use 2 W x 1 H display blocks.
