Using TV Display and Capture Features
This chapter describes how to use the TV display and video capture
features of your Radeon
®
X1950 Pro card.
Using TV Out
Your Radeon
®
X1950 Pro has TV Out capability.
Viewing Your PC Display on a TV
You can attach your Radeon
®
X1950 Pro to a TV and a monitor at the same
time. You can also connect it to your VCR and record your monitor’s
display.
Note: A TV can only be connected to one DVI connector.
TV-out display is ideal for giving presentations and watching movies, or
playing games on a screen larger than a typical monitor. The following tips
will help you get the most out of your TV Out feature.
Connecting to a TV or VCR
To connect your Radeon
®
X1950 Pro card to a TV or VCR, use an S-video
cable. Many TVs (and VCRs) have a composite video input, in which case
you can use the supplied S-video-to-composite video adapter. If your TV
has cable input only, you can connect your graphics card to your TV
through your VCR or an RF modulator that is available from most
electronics stores.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for European Customers
Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used simultaneously with TV
display. When you enable TV display in Europe, the refresh rate for the
monitor and TV is set to 50 Hz. 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 50 Hz.
• If your monitor does not support 50 Hz (or if you are not sure), turn off
your monitor before turning on your PC when using your TV as a
display.
