Can someone in the know please explain to me how to use a Matrox with TV out?
From what I can gather, there are different 400 versions & you need a dual monitor version so you can plug a special VGA to S-video/component adaptor up to it.
but the adaptor only works with certain boards?
There are a lot of them on e-bay on the cheap.
I'm just confused on what to get.
I'm using an older PC that is finicky about graphics cards so an older card like the Matrox would work well as it's from the same generation.
Also, has anyone used the matrox marvel 400 with GBPVR?
Yes I know its an old hardware encoder card, but it does the tv out thing also & their fairly cheap on ebay also.
