Enabling Mac2TV™

!WARNING

When you initially turn on Mac2TV Video Out, your monitor display will be dimmed. Monitors which do not support the 60 Hz vertical refresh rate required by video equipment may be damaged when Mac2TV is enabled. Dimming your monitor is a safety feature, protecting your monitor from any potential damage.

Many newer Apple and VGA multi-frequency monitors are capable of supporting the 60 Hz vertical refresh rate at several resolutions. If you are certain that your monitor supports this refresh rate (check your monitor User’s Guide), restore the monitor display by choosing one of the simulscan modes shown in the Monitors control panel and the control strip. Older versions of ATI

graphics accelerator cards may be able to restore the monitor display by pressing a-Option-m-o together.

Most DVI-I panels do not support 60Hz vertical refresh rate and will therefore not support simulscan modes.

1Open the ATI Displays control panel.

2Click on the Mac2TV icon.

3In the Video Output box, click Video Output On.
