RADEON™ Using Video In/Video Out

Using Video Out
View your PC’s display on a television!
Your new RADEON™ graphics card has Video Out (also known as TV Out)
capability. Just attach your new card to a television, a monitor, or both. You can
even attach your graphics card to your VCR and record your computer’s display.
Television display is ideal for playing games, giving presentations, watching
movies, and browsing the Internet. The following tips will help you get the most
out of your Video Out feature.
Connecting your PC to a television or a VCR
To connect your computer to a television or a VCR, attach a connector cable from
the television (or VCR) to your card. Most televisions and VCRs have a
Composite video input, also referred to as a phono jack or RCA input. A growing
number of televisions and VCRs have another type of video input called S-Video
or S-VHS. An S-Video connection produces a higher quality display than
Composite video. If your television has cable input only, which is the case on
older units, you can connect your graphics card to your television using your
VCR or an RF modulator (available in most electronics stores).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
for European Customers
• Some PC monitors in Europe cannot be used simultaneously
with television display. When you enable television display in
Europe, the refresh rate for the monitor and television is set to
50Hz. 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 50Hz. If your
monitor does not support 50 Hz (or you are not sure), then
turn off your monitor before turning on your computer when
using your television as a display.
For information about how to disable television display, see
Enabling and Disabling the Television Display on page 5.
• Some televisions in Europe may use a SCART connection. If you
use SCART, read Using SCART Connectors for European
Televisions on page 5 before attempting to connect your PC to
your television.
