Advanced properties for MXRT controller
To access the advanced properties configuration pages for the display
controller(s) for your BARCO CORONIS FUSION Display System, click on the
Advanced button in the Graphics Device Information section.
There are several pages accessible from the advanced configuration
button. They are:
• Barco Adapter Configuration
• OpenGL
• Direct3D
• Rotation (when supported)
•Details
• OpenGL Profiles
Barco Adapter Configuration
The Barco Adapter Configuration page allows you to switch between
the following monitor configurations and display options for the
displays connected to a Barco MXRT controller:
Display Layout
• DualView
Both displays are enabled independent of each other.
• SingleView
A single large desktop spans across both displays.

•Clone
The primary display is cloned to the secondary display.
Color Format
• 24-Bit TrueColor Mode
• 30-Bit TrueColor Mode (HDR)
Display Resolution
• Sets display resolution for 1 or 2 displays.
Note: To switch out of SingleView or Clone mode, the
buttons in this Control Panel page must be used. The main
Windows Control Panel cannot be used. Depending on your
system, certain configurations can be disabled.
Note: Clone Mode is supported for two color displays or
projectors in 32bpp. Clone mode is not supported on grayscale
displays. Also, HDR is not supported while in Clone Mode.
When choosing Clone Mode under the Barco Adapter
Configuration page, if two displays are enabled, then the larger
of the two current resolutions will be used. If only one of the
two displays is enabled, the enabled displayís current resolution
will be used.
When the resolution set for clone mode is larger then the
maximum supported on a display, the resolution set on the
Master will automatically be scaled to maximum resolution of
the Cloned display. If the Scale to Display Preferred Mode is
checked, the maximum resolution will be the EDID preferred
mode. If it is unchecked, then it will be the largest mode in the
Cloned displays mode list. Clone mode can only be exited
through the Barco Adapter Configuration page in the Barco
Advanced Control Panel.
Note: Not all options are available at all times. Please select
the help tips in the driver software for more information.

OpenGL and Direct3D
The OpenGL and Direct3D pages of the Advanced Properties page are
divided into two sections: Main Settings and Custom Settings.
Main Settings
In the Main Settings section there is a slider bar which allows the user
to adjust the OpenGL or Direct3D settings for optimum performance,
optimum quality or for a point in between. There is also a checkbox
provided for enabling Custom Settings.
Custom Settings
Note: Barco recommends that you use the default settings,
unless your viewing application vendor provides detailed
information on custom settings.
In the Custom Settings section the user can fine tune the following
options:
• Anisotropic filtering
• SMOOTHVISION
• Wait for Vertical Sync
Anisotropic Filtering
Anisotropic filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces
that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the
background. It works best when used in conjunction with
Mipmapping.
Anisotropic filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system
processing performance or improved image quality.
Note: If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering,
use the Application Preference option. Your display will
automatically adjust to the application’s requirements.
