ATI Multimedia Channel
The ATI Multimedia Channel (AMC) connects ATI’s MPEG
decoder, TV tuner, or video capture modules to the
3D XPRESSION card.
While the AMC provides VGA Feature Connector (VFC)
compatibility, it also provides enhanced features for new
multimedia devices including serial control and provision for
audio.
An incorrect Monitor Type setting may damage your
monitor. Review your monitor specifications before making
a selection from the Monitor Selection Menu.
A scrambled screen indicates your monitor is not capable of
the selected display mode. Immediately press
ESC
to exit.
If the monitor produces a scrambled display, try a lower
refresh rate. If it is already at the lowest refresh rate, set that
resolution to Not Supported.
The AMC connector shares the same footprint with the VFC
but it adds pins for supporting additional multimedia modes.
Great caution should be taken when connecting a ribbon cable
to the AMC/VFC connector. Some of the pins carry power
and any improper use can result in damage both to the
graphics card and the upgrade board.
