Using TV Display and Capture Features

Using TV Out

Your All-in-Wonder® X1900 has TV Out capability. It also supports YPbPr component video output. For European customers, SCART-out is supported and included on the Input/Output connector.

Viewing Your PC’s Display on a TV

You can attach your graphics card to a TV and monitor at the same time. You can also connect it to your VCR and record your monitor’s display.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for European Customers

Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used simultaneously with TV display. When you enable TV display in Europe, the refresh rate for the monitor and TV is set to 50 Hz. Some monitors may not support this refresh rate and could be damaged.

•Please check the documentation supplied with your monitor to see if your monitor supports a refresh rate of 50 Hz.

•If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are not sure), turn off your monitor before turning on your PC when using your TV as a display.

TV display is ideal for giving presentations and watching movies, or playing games on a screen larger than a typical monitor. The following tips will help you get the most out of your TV Out feature.

Connecting to a TV
To connect your All-in-Wonder® X1900 card to a TV, use an S-Video cable.
Starting Windows® with TV Display Enabled

The TV screen may become scrambled during the initial Windows® logo display. This distortion is only a temporary effect, and your screen will be restored within a few seconds.
