It does not need the kernel, supports -multiple TV encoder chips. You may use all the -features of the chip, down to direct register -access, and all resolutions and sizes the chip -supports. +Nvtv can enable, activate and configure the TV output of most NVidia cards, +and some others, like some 3dfx ones. Nvtv probes and uses the PCI bus +directly, thus does not need any kernel support, and allows a very low-level +access to the multiple TV encoder chips supported. Then you have a direct +control over the registers of the chip, and can use all the resolutions and +sizes the board supports. + +Most of the accesses done by Nvtv need root privileges, and a daemon is +provided to allow non-privileged users control the TV output of the graphics +card. + +Nvtv can integrate into either a GTK1 or a GTK2 environment, with the exact +same interface. |
