Re: [MyHD-develop] continued development

[George M. <geo...@sp...>]

Most of the stuff I've read about getting component out of a video card involved
using a transcoder like a Audio Authority 9A60 or a Key Digital KD-VTCA3.

Then you need to set up a mode line which generates the correct signals for an
HD (or SD I guess) signal.  I've seen some step by step guides for using
PowerStrip (not linux) online, but there must be a similar guide for Linux
somewhere.

Honestly I haven't picked my video card yet.  I was thinking about something
with at least two outputs though so I could have a small monitor for PC
management tasks and use the other output for the TV.  I'm also a little
partial to Matrox since they have given a lot of help to Open Source developers
in the past -- though I'm not sure how they rate now and whether they have the
hardware acceleration I would want.
