A quote from someone on another message board (thread title: "Which TV card should I buy?") :
The person who wrote this also said he has an All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500DV. I had never heard of this feature; my former video card was an AIW 128 Pro 16MB, and now I have the AIW Radeon 7500. I asked for a little more information, and he said he believed it was called " 'cinema mode' or something like that" and its function was reproducing the overlay on a television.
Well, I've been Googling for around an hour or so and haven't found relevant information and was wondering whether any of you have heard of this/have any experience with it.
My configuration:
Athlon T-bird 1.2@1.33 on EPoX 8KHA+, 512MB DDR, Windows XP Professional.
Latest Radeon drivers, capture drivers, ATI control panel, and multimedia center, as of 8/4/02
All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500 AGP = primary display
Radeon 7000 PCI = secondary
Viper V550 PCI = secondary (yes, it's a three-monitor system)
I can treat the connected television as a fourth monitor for more desktop, or I can have it mirror the primary display, or I can disable it.
I would recomend any of the radeon All-in-wonders by ATI simply because they have a TV out that with the new Catalyst drivers, allows you to play a movie full screen on a TV and have it windowed on the PC.
