RADEON™ Using Video In/Video Out 3

Using Video Out

View your PC’s display on a television!

Your new RADEON™ graphics card has Video Out (also known as TV Out)

capability. Just attach your new card to a television, a monitor, or both. You can

even attach your graphics card to your VCR and record your computer’s display.

Television display is ideal for playing games, giving presentations, watching

movies, and browsing the Internet. The following tips will help you get the most

out of your Video Out feature.

Connecting your PC to a television or a VCR

To connect your computer to a television or a VCR, attach a connector cable from

the television (or VCR) to your card. Most televisions and VCRs have a

Composite video input, also referred to as a phono jack or RCA input. A growing

number of televisions and VCRs have another type of video input called S-Video

or S-VHS. An S-Video connection produces a higher quality display than

Composite video. If your television has cable input only, which is the case on

older units, you can connect your graphics card to your television using your

VCR or an RF modulator (available in most electronics stores).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

for European Customers

• Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used simultaneously

with television display. When you enable television display in

Europe, the refresh rate for the monitor and television is set to

50Hz. 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 50Hz. If your

monitor does not support 50 Hz (or you are not sure), then

turn off your monitor before turning on your computer when

using your television as a display.

For information about how to disable television display, see

Enabling and Disabling the Television Display on page 5.

• Some televisions in Europe may use a SCART connection. If you

use SCART, read Using SCART Connectors for European

Televisions on page 5 before attempting to connect your PC to

your television.

most common type. Figure 2 shows how to connect to a SCART connector with a

an S-Video cable (available in most consumer electronic stores) to view your PC

on a television.

Starting Windows®with Television Display Enabled

The television screen may become scrambled temporarily during the initial

Windows®logo display. This is only a temporary effect and your television

screen will be restored within a few seconds.

During start up, your Video Out graphics card will go through a sequence of

mode settings during which your television display will remain blank. This

process takes only a few seconds and helps program the television display.

Using a Monitor vs. Using the Television Display

Using your television for your computer’s display is ideal for playing games,

giving presentations, watching movies, and browsing the Internet. The display on

your monitor may change or looked squashed. This occurs because the display

adjusts to fit the dimensions of your television. To correct the monitor’s display,

use the controls on the monitor to adjust the display size and position.

Some single frequency monitors may not work with television display enabled. If

you experience problems when television display is enabled, disable television

display to restore your monitor’s display.

Adjusting Monitor Display

The size of the display on your monitor may be smaller and not perfectly

centered when you have television display enabled. These effects are caused by

the changes required to provide a proper display on the television.

Use the controls available on the Adjustments tab on the Monitor Properties page

(clickontheMonitor button on the ATI Displays page) to adjust the display on

your monitor only. Click on the Television button to adjust the television display

only.

Viewing Text on Television

Due to the different technology used in the manufacturing of televisions and PC

monitors, standard PC text may look too small on your television.You can

compensate for this by using larger fonts.

To Use Larger Display Fonts

1Start Windows®.

2Click Start.

3Point to Settings, then click Control Panel.

4Double-click Display.

5ClickontheSettings tab.

6In the Font Size box, select the size you want your displayed fonts to be.

Windows® 98 / Me / 2000 users: Click on the Advanced button; then select

your font size.

7Click OK or Apply; then follow the onscreen instructions to save your new

settings.

If you change your display mode, television display is disabled beyond the

800x600 mode. If a television is your only display device and a non-supported

mode is selected, the display on your television will disappear. Try pressing ESC

or wait for 15 seconds to see if your display will return. If your display does not

return, you will need to hook up a monitor to your computer to re-enable

television display.

Using Games and Applications

Some older games and applications may program the graphics card directly to

run under a specific display mode. This may cause your television display to turn

off automatically or become scrambled (the PC monitor will not be affected).

Your television display will be restored once you exit the game or if you restart

your system.
