7. Turn on your computer, VCR, and TV.
If you are connecting your XCLAIM VR card to a VCR,
make sure that your VCR is connected to a television that
you can use as your computerÕs display. For information
about connecting a television to your VCR, see the
documentation supplied with your VCR.
Now that you have connected your XCLAIM VR card to a
VCR, you need to enable Mac2TV.
Enabling Mac2TV
Mac2TV allows you to output a video signal to either a TV
or VCR. There are three methods of turning on Mac2TV;
through the ATI Displays control panel, through the Mac
OS Monitors & Sound control panel, and through the Mac
OS Control Strip.
When using Mac2TV you can either send the video signal
to a television or video recorder in PAL or NTSC format,
or use Simulscan to send the signal to both your computer
monitor and the video recorder or television. When
looking at the resolution list PAL, NTSC, and Simulscan
are listed to the right of the resolutions and frequency.
Simulscan is only available at 60 Hz (NTSC) vertical refresh
rates.
NOTE
!
WARNING
¥ When you initially turn on Mac2TV Video Out,
your monitor display is dimmed. Monitors which
do not support the 60 Hz vertical refresh rate for
NTSC, or 50 Hz vertical refresh rate for PAL
required by video equipment may be damaged
when Mac2TV is enabled. Dimming your monitor
is a safety feature, protecting your monitor from
any potential damage.
¥ When using Mac OS 7.5.5, always use the ATI
Displays control panel to display the video signal
on your TV.
