I have just successfully bid on a New system on Tech Republic Auctions..
I would like the seller to upgrade the graphic
card to one with TVOUT or even to a full multimedia card…..But there could
be a real problem …The destination of the PC isNew Zealand which is on a PAL TV System..as against NTSC.
Can graphic cards handle both formats or are there separate cards
made for either format……
Multimedia cards I believe capture all formats but an enquiry to Matrox got
the following reply which really started me wondering..
There are two TV tunner versions of Marvel G400-TV (PAL, NTSC), you should
buy the one that meet the TV Protocol of your Country*.
* USA is selling NTSC version but New Zealand seems to be using PAL, wrong
TV tunner will output Black & White TV picture
Therefore I would be sincerely grateful if anybody could enlighten me on the
above..
