Configuration of the second screen The second display's video resolution can be configured independently from the first screen's resolution, the color depth is equal for both displays. You can set up the second display left, right, under or above the first display. To use the maximum digital resolution of 1920 x 1200 you have to set the DVI flag next to the resolution's pull down menu. Basically the second display will be used as extended desktop to allow a free positioning of application windows. Elements like the Task Bar, ICA-, RDP- and Browser-Sessions can either be limited to one display or stretched across both displays. You can configure the display option global for ICA sessions and session based for RDP and the Browser. The Dual Monitor Mode has no effect on ICA sessions in Seamless Window Mode - the ICA application window will always be placed fitting bist and it will be maximized to one display only.

The display options are Single Mode: Only one display is active, this should be connected to port "1" of the multiport cable. Clone Mode: All displays show the same picture. Stretched Mode: The Windows Desktop is streched to all displays, application windows will be maximized to the desktop. Independent Mode: The Windows Desktop is separated into two or four parts on all displays, application windows will be maximized to their current display. With the Matrox TC4 (PanaVeo 7604) you have the option to configure the display's rotation within the PowerDesk application - the TC2 (PanaVeo 7602) supports display rotation within the Windows display setup only. You can set up the displays in a row (vertical or horizontal) or as 2x2 matrix. When using applications that should be displayed across all two or four screens the streched mode should be configured, the independent mode is best for showing many different applications on all displays. More information on the Matrox PowerDesk SE software can be found in the online help of the programm.
