Q Menu and Desktop Video Profiles
Software Guide 2–17
Desktop Video Profiles
The tablet PC desktop video profiles enable you to optimize your
work environment for your preferred work style. The NVIDIA
nView Desktop Manager Utility automatically changes the video
profile (settings) of the tablet PC when you dock and undock it in
the optional Docking Station.
In addition, the desktop video profiles control the assignment of
keystrokes to a selection of system tasks. Keystrokes that are
assigned to system tasks are called hot keys.
✎
Only the default undocked profile is enabled by default. The other
profiles must be enabled manually through the NVIDIA nView
Desktop Manager utility. It is recommended that you enable the
profiles when you add a Tablet PC Docking Station, full-sized
monitor, and external keyboard and mouse to the system.
Identifying Profiles and Modes
In the NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager utility, image display
information is contained in profiles. Profiles contain the software
configuration information that can be applied by the system when
a desktop video mode is initiated.
Desktop video modes and profiles are not affected by an external
keyboard.
The NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager Utility supports 4 default
profiles and up to 3 custom profiles.
■ Undocked mode (one default profile, one custom profile)
■ Docked viewing mode (one default profile, one custom
profile)
■ Docked writing mode (one default profile, one custom
profile)
■ Presentation mode (one default profile)
