AMC (ATI Multimedia Channel)
The ATI Multimedia Channel connector (i.e. a 16-bit bi-directional video port) consist of two parts, the
conventional VGA feature connector and the "AMC extension". The connector has been designed so that the
standard VGA feature connector cables can be still used with non-AMC devices. When using AMC cards, both
parts of the AMC connector are in use (singe cable). Several AMC devices (for example video
capture/conferencing, hardware MPEG-2/DVD and TV tuner) can be connected to the channel at the same time
(daisy chain cabling) but only one device can be used at a time.
