Resolution

This displays the currently selected display resolution.

Palette Mode

In the Palette Mode section you can choose one of the four following

Palette Modes.If you are using a color display in conjunction with your

Barco grayscale display(s) under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, prior to

selecting a palette mode please make certain that you have configured

your Window 2000 or Windows XP desktop correctly. (See the section

“Setting the resolution of your Nio display” on page 105.)

Color to Gray Compatibility

Use this palette option for applications, such as Java, which require True

Color support. Such applications may not work correctly when using one

of Barco's three “Standard 8-bit (256-color)” palette modes. All

applications that are designed to work correctly with 8-bit (256-color)

modes should continue to work normally.

Please note that dithering is not used while in this mode. The Enable

Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be

automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked.

This complies with the Windows standard interface method.

Also, please note that direct access to the hardware through DirectDraw

is not allowed in this mode. The Enable DirectDraw check box will be

grayed-out, and DirectDraw’s access to the hardware will be

automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is checked.

DirectDraw is still usable through DirectDraw’s Hardware Emulation

Layer.

UserModifiable Color Palette

This option allows applications to modify the palette contents

dynamically. As indicated in figure 23, this mode reserves the first 10

and last 10 entries in the palette for the Windows operating system, but

applications can manipulate the middle 236 entries. This is the standard

palette mode as configured by Windows.
