Multiple Monitors

Your RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 provides dual display

functionality and TV Out from a single video card. This new

technology changes the way you view your PC, TV, and video

graphics.

The RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 uses HydraVision™

software to create a seamless multiple display desktop. Multiple

monitor display works as one large work area. A single

application can span all monitors, or many applications can

occupy their own specific monitor. This feature will take your

PC’s graphics and video capabilities to the next level.

Connecting your RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 to your

monitors

The RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 provides support for one

DVI-I monitor or two VGA monitors using the supplied DVI-I-

to-VGA adapter. A television can also be used to expand your

desktop by using the S-Video connector.

Plug the monitor cable into your card (if you are running

multiple monitors, connect their cables to the appropriate

connectors), then turn on the computer and monitor(s).

To connect a flat panel to the RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500

use the DVI-I connector as shown on the following page. To

connect a VGA monitor to the DVI-I connector, plug the

supplied DVI-I-to-VGA adapter into the DVI-I connector, then

plug your monitor cable into the adapter.

When you use multiple monitors with your RADEON

8500/RADEON 7500, one monitor will always be primary. Any

additional monitor(s) will be designated as secondary.

Note

The RADEON 8500/RADEON 7500 offers

Ratiometric expansion. Ratiometric expansion (or

digital panel scaling as it is commonly known)

expands a low resolution image to fill a higher

resolution panel. However, Ratiometric expansion is

only available on the primary display. Therefore, if a

DFP is set as secondary, the extended desktop is

disabled and the resolution is less than the DFP

monitor’s native resolution. This causes the DFP

monitor to default to center mode.
