Matrox Graphics Card – Installation Guide 7

6 If your Matrox card

supports TV output

Connect a TV or VCR (optional)

If your Matrox graphics card has extra video

connectors on its bracket, you can use them to

view or record the display of your computer

with a TV or VCR.

If your video device (TV or VCR) didn’t come

with composite video (RCA) or S-video

cables, this type of cable is available at most

electronics stores. The type you use depends

on what your video device (TV or VCR)

supports. Many video devices support

composite video connections, and some

higher-quality video devices support S-video

connections.

Attach one end of your composite video or

S-video cable to the appropriate connector on

your Matrox card. Attach the other end to the

VIDEO IN

†

connector on your TV

‡

or VCR.

Before viewing or recording video output

directly from your computer, make sure your

TV or VCR is set up to use line input. For

example, if your TV has a

TV/VIDEO switch,

set it to

VIDEO; or if your VCR has a

TUNER/LINE switch, set it to LINE.

Optionally, if you use the composite video and S-video connectors on your Matrox card, you

can directly connect two different video devices at the same time.

To view and record output from the same Matrox video connector, you can connect it to a VCR

and connect the VCR to a TV. For more information, see your VCR and TV manuals.

* To use TV output, your Matrox graphics card must support TV output. For certain models of Matrox graphics cards

without built-in TV output support, a TV output add-on is available. For more information, see the Matrox Web

site (

www.matrox.com/mga

† The labels on your devices may not be consistent with what’s in this guide. Different manufacturers sometimes use

different labels for the same type of controls and connectors. For example, the

VIDEO IN

connector on your TV

may be labeled

VIDEO 1

(or

VIDEO 2

). To match labels, see the documentation for your video devices.

‡ If your TV only has an antenna or cable TV connector, you can use an

RF modulator

to connect it to your Matrox

card. RF modulators are available at most electronics stores.
