Hi Holly,

All RR-G cards will work with the same Max. The only difference between all RR-G cards is the TV Tuner. Europe just HAS to be different ya know

They both have the same composite and s-video in/outs. Jorden might have one of them weird tv's so if you want to output anything to your tv, you would have to buy a scart cable from Europe.

Do you 2 plan on live streaming your wedding in the internet ?

Hi Haig,

One the last question the first answer: That depends on the Matrox Max and Maxime you promised us If an RR-G fits on both we could give you streaming video

(btw, Holly knows the thread where you promised the Max and Maxime!!! )

Is a Philips a weird TV?? Normal Scart-connection. Even S-video in for a VCR, and the thing is 5 years old... weird or inovating??

Just hope the weird RR-G she gets does know the difference between NTSC and PAL ...

Btw Haig, why not give her a Marvel G400 with all the ins and outs instead??

Jorden, only wanting a G650 with either a pink board or blue board, depending on the sex of the baby

the way you're bathed in light
reminds me of that night
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust
and I was swept away
with nothin' left to say
some helpless fool
yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
you're all I need to find
so when the time is right
come to me sweetly, come to me
come to me

Greetings Jorden,

rest assure that both you and your better half can share the "normal" RRG together It's smart enough to see both PAl and NTSC
but only one type of TV signal.

That Phillips is not bad. At work, I have the luxury of a huge Loewes TV. Scart/S-video/and composite in/outs.

Give her a Marvel? What's she going to do with her Max?

Besides, the app that comes with the RRG is Ulead MS Pro 5.02VE. This is what you want.

Thanks for answering, Haig! I feel much better now...!

Jord, hon, did you forget I want dual monitors? so I must regretfully decline the Marvel...

But since you "only" have a vanilla G400, and since you did ask me to remind Haig of his rash promise... here it is:

Greetings lovebirds,

Matrox will donate a G400 Max and a G400 Maxime to the newlyweds.

Let it be known that is NOT "just a video card" anymore

Holly, Holly, Holly,
I tried to tell Paul you didn't need that Max, and he shoulda brought it to the LAN party for one of us...I knew you would remember Haig's promise, and pin him down on it eventually...

But whod'a thunk it would really happen?

flashback
JORD- HOLLY IS REALLY STEVEC!!!!
Holly- watch out for Jord...he's insane!
end flashback

hehehehe...oh wait...you're both insane!
And maybe neither of you is really Steve...or maybe you BOTH are??
Just glad I could be there from the beginning to watch you freaks of nature find each other.

**waxling** · 20 October 1999, 23:06

Sorry to interrupt,

But I think I have a question that might be (semi)-related....

I've been corresponding with Daniel Lawrence for the last few days (I was just reading the other thread from madman and wanted to say he's doing a good job, 2 replys in 2 days, I'm impressed) any way....

I've been asking him about the use of the TV-out feature in the PD 5.3 settings which refer to RGB SCART. Basically, I live in Australia and recieved the composite/s-video tv cable, however I have a tv with RGB SCART, not svideo. So I wanted to bodgey up a cable I could use instead.

I've been told
"Dear Sir,
We do not release the pin outs for our cards.
"

DOH.....

Why? (if you don't mind me asking)

BTW is what I've described above possible?

Haig?..... anyone?

**Ant** · 21 October 1999, 00:38

Dunno about in Auz but here in the UK composite or S-video to SCART leads are readily avialable in electronics stores.

And hey by the time the loving couple get married won't the G400 MAX and Maxime be a little passed their sell by date?

**SteveC** · 21 October 1999, 02:15

Ant - that's why Matrox can afford to give them away...
Back to the streaming of the wedding night - anyone seen the film American Pie? That's what they need to do!
Kruzin - 'freaks of nature'? that's not very nice! And, I can say with around 284% certainty that I am neither Holly, or Jorden. mmmmmkay? Hmm, marrying myself, that'd be interesting.

Cheers,
Steve

PS: Some or all of the above message may be wrong, or, just as likely, correct. Depends on what mood I'm in. And what you know. ;¬)

**waxling** · 21 October 1999, 02:22

Well, yes there are cables that do s-video to SCART, but there only good if your trying to use the s-video variant of SCART. I need RGB SCART (also known as sync on composite RGB). You see, the trick is there are two(three if you count the japanese) standards of SCART, both carrying audio in/out, composite video in/out, one carrying RGB and the other carrying s-video. They are basically the same however:

pin 15: will carry either RGB red @ 0.7v or
chrominance (svga) @ 0.3 v bursts.

pin 16: will carry a signal stipulating the type of signal the cable carries. 1-3v for RGB or 0-0.4v for composite.

pin 20: composite or luminance, depending on 15 and 16.

THe trick in this case, is getting the pins on the video card to actually change their behaivour. Is this the case when I change the seting in the driver?
It would be nice to get some idea of what the card is doing before I lug my machine into work tomorrow to hook it up to a CRO.

Thanks

PS When is the big day, mines coming up, 9 weeks and 5 days.......

SteveC:

Since you were talking about marrying yourself, I think I've discovered your secret: YOUR DENNIS RODMAN!!!!! We have an NBA celebrity amongst us.

waxling: Congratulations (and good luck)!
The big day has only a range from "as soon as possible (preferably yesterday)" to no more than 6 months from now...

Steve: Leave Kruzin alone!!! You know as well as I do that 'not very nice' to anyone else is a pleasant 'how'd'ya do?' from him !!

Ant: So maybe Jord can get that "G650" after all...? (free upgrade, anyone??)

Oh....and Kruzin... my deep and profound thanks. That's all I wanted to hear...Now it can be "all water under the bridge". Friends...within the limits of your outrageous personal magnetism (lol), of course... and the capacity of your bucket...

Long live the MURC!!!

BTW, Kruz, it's not like you weren't half right (or is that 2/3, now?)...

me=SteveC.... no (thank God, did you see his picture???
Jord=insane.... yes, well, the man is six kinds of nutburger on toast, but it just happens that he's my absolute favorite six kinds of nut, is all...
us=freaks of nature... if you only knew, but at least now there are 2 of us, and we're not lonely anymore.

And isn't that the point, really??
