CHAPTER 2: Introduction
The Computertop TV-III card is a
full-motion video display card with
a television tuner and audio-
processing circuitry. It allows a live
video window from cable or
broadcast television to be merged
with VGA graphics on a single
display monitor. An external image
source from a video cassette
recorder (VCR), laser disk player,
or camcorder is also supported. The
Computertop TV-III contains an on-
card audio power amplifier sufficient
to drive headphones or a set of
unpowered external speakers.
The Card and an AT
®
compatible
computer running Windows
™
3.1
and an external VGA display make
up a full-motion multimedia
presentation system.
The Computertop TV-III card gives
you simultaneous viewing of one live
television source in a window and
running application programs such
as spreadsheets, word processors,
or desktop publishing in other
windows. The hardware requires
minimal processor bandwidth, so
programs run at full speed even
while the live-motion window is
displayed.
You can use the system hard disk to
store snapshots of live images on the
screen. Once saved, the images can
be imported into a variety of
desktop-publishing or image-
processing programs for further
manipulation.
