Matrox Graphics Card – Installation Guide 15

TV output setup

If your Matrox graphics card supports TV output, you can view or record your computer display

on a TV or VCR connected to your computer. (To connect video devices to your computer, see

page 7.) To use TV output mode

Click  Programs  Matrox PowerDesk NT  Matrox Display Properties  Monitor.

Depending on the standard your TV or VCR uses, click one of the following buttons:

 Output to TV (NTSC) – The NTSC standard is used in North America and Japan, among

other places.

 Output to TV (PAL) – The PAL standard is used in most of Western Europe and in China,

among other places.

If you’re not sure what standard your TV or VCR uses, check its documentation.

Click OK to close the dialog box and apply changes.

While in TV output mode, your computer display uses TV settings. TV settings have lower

resolutions and refresh rates than typical computer monitor settings. Lower refresh rates may result

in more noticeable flicker. To turn off TV output mode, select a monitor settings button (see

“Monitor setup”, page 14).

Software overview

Matrox PowerDesk for Windows NT 4.0 includes

 Matrox display driver with:

 Multi-display support to use up to 5 monitors at a time.

 Accelerated DirectDraw and OpenGL support for direct access to Matrox hardware.

 Plug-and-Play (DDC-2B) monitor support.

* To enable TV output support for DOS display modes, use the Matrox CD-ROM setup program. For more

information, see the CD-ROM

readme

file.

WA R N IN G : Because some computer monitors don’t support TV settings, a computer monitor

may become garbled or unusable while TV output mode is used. If this happens, simply turn

off your computer monitor and use your TV to view your computer display. Your computer

monitor will work normally when you disable TV output mode.

Also, some computer monitors may be damaged if they use the 50 Hz vertical refresh rate used

with European TV settings. For more information, see your monitor manual.
