Using the Barco Display Tab

Displays

All of the available display controllers that are of the same type as the current barco display controller are shown here graphically, with one display icon representing each output of a display controller. The icon orientation reflects the display resolution. Only those outputs with a display attached to them are active. If an icon is grayed out, that indicates a output with no output attached to it. When running DualView under Windows 2000 and Windows XP the desktop must be extended to include each display, otherwise those outputs will not be visible to the Barco Display Tab.

Hovering the cursor over a display icon will pop up a window with information that identifies the display.
