Screen Extension（Windows）

Download and Installation
Virtual Display Driver

  • based on Microsoft Indirect Display Driver Sample. This creates a virtual display in Windows that acts and functions just like a real one. It's useful for streaming, virtual reality applications, recording, headless servers, etc. The benefit over a physical display is the ability to adjust resolutions and refresh rates beyond the physical displays capabilities. For servers without displays, this enabled remote desktop and screen streaming to other systems as if there were a display installed.

  • This uses the official Windows Indirect Display Driver combined with the IddCx class extension driver.
