The TV Tuner
The TV Tuner displays cable or broadcast television and smooth, full-
motion video on the whole screen or in a window. You can use the TV
Tuner to:
• Watch television on your computer as you work in another
software application.
• Watch a videotape or laser disk movie on your computer.
• Capture, save, and print TV and video images.
• Display and record closed-captioned text.
• Replace your desktop with live TV display.
The ATI-TV accepts a wide range of video inputs — from just about any
device that has a VIDEO OUT connector: TV antenna or cable, VCR,
Video camera, laser disk, and video games.
Click the TV
Tuner button in
