20 Matrox Graphics Card – User Guide
TV output
If your Matrox graphics card has a second monitor connector,
you can use the TV output adapter to connect a TV or video
recorder to view or record the secondary display of your
Matrox graphics card. If a TV output adapter wasn’t included
with your Matrox product, you can purchase it separately (see
http://shopmatrox.com
). This section describes how to use the
TV output
feature.

your dual-monitor cable.
Note:
TV output isn’t supported with full-screen DOS display modes (for example, the
information you see before Windows starts) or with standard VGA mode (for example, when
you restart Windows in “safe mode”). Older programs may use these display modes. While
one of these display modes is in use, your TV displays nothing (black).

WAR NIN G:
Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While
your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the current
monitor connections.
If a display device (monitor, TV or video recorder) is connected while your computer is using
settings intended for another display device, the display of the new device may be garbled or
unusable.
Some
devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect settings are used.
