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,
see
page 19
.)
TV settings have lower resolutions and refresh rates than typical computer monitor settings. Lower
refresh rates may result in more noticeable flicker.
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP –
To adjust TV settings, access the Matrox PowerDesk
DualHead
property sheet (
see “Accessing PowerDesk property sheets”, page 8
).
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.
