TV output

If your Matrox graphics card has a second monitor connector,
you can use the TV output adapter to connect a TV or video
recorder to view or record the secondary display of your
Matrox graphics card. If a TV output adapter wasn’t included
with your Matrox product, you can purchase it separately (see
http://shopmatrox.com). This section describes how to use the	TV output adapter
TV output feature.

Note: TV output isn’t supported with full-screen DOS display modes (for example, the information you see before Windows starts) or with standard VGA mode (for example, when you restart Windows in “safe mode”). Older programs may use these display modes. While one of these display modes is in use, your TV displays nothing (black).
