Matrox QID Series – User Guide
Software setup
If a TV or video recorder is connected to your Matrox product, you can use TV output mode to view
or record your display on your TV or video recorder. (To connect video devices to your computer,
TV settings have lower resolutions and refresh rates than typical computer monitor settings. Lower
refresh rates may result in more noticeable flicker.
Windows 2000/XP –
To adjust TV settings, access the
Multi-Display Setup
dialog box for your
Matrox product (
see “Set up your display software”, page 11
).
DOS –
To change TV standard, insert your Matrox installation CD-ROM. Run the
PBIOSWin
program from the Sysutils folder on your Matrox CD-ROM. Click
Change TV Standard
and
select the correct TV standard, then click
OK
. For more information on how to use this
program, see the Readme file in the Sysutils folder.
Note:
Two TV standards are supported for TV output. The NTSC standard is used in North
America and Japan, among other places. The PAL standard is used in most of Western
Europe and in China, among other places.
If an incorrect TV standard is selected in Matrox software, the output from your computer
may not appear or record properly on your TV or your video recorder. To find out what
standard your TV or video recorder supports, see its documentation.
