Matrox with TV

[villerk]

I'm still just _going_ to buy a G4x0, and there are some questions not yet aswered. I've got a 14" TV next to my monitor. How can I use them together? I mean, am I able to drag windows to the TV's display or is it limited only to watching DVD-movies (which I can't yet play; I don't have a DVD-reader)?

You can use that TV to extend your desktop ...

And...?

Vastaus ensimmäiseen kysymykseen on: Kyllä, voit esim. käyttää selainta telkkarin näytössä ja kirjoittaa dokumenttia ensimmäisessä näytössä.

DualHeadissa on valittavana kolme eri moodia:
DVDMax (DVD-elokuvien ja videoklippien katseluun TV:stä), DualHead Clone (näyttää TV:ssä kopion työpöydästä) ja DualHead Multi-Display (voit käyttää toista monitoria/TV:tä työpöydän jatkeena).

Kaikkiin näihin voit lisäksi halutessasi liittää DualHead Zoom-toiminnon, jonka avulla voit näyttää toisella näytöllä/TV:llä zoomatun alueen ensimmäisestä näytöstä. Kätevä esim. kuvankäsittelyssä, ei tarvitse koko ajan käyttää zoom-työkalua kun toinen ruutu näyttää koko ajan hiiren osoittimen ympäristön zoomattuna.

Edit: OK, so here I explain the different DualHead modes, and the DualHead Zoom feature

Note that when you use the Sasami2K media player, that you can watch almost any video format on the second monitor in DVD-MAX, when the player is minimized to the taskbar on the primary monitor

[villerk]

O-Yeah! Where can I download that?! (Of course I'd have to buy a G4x0 first... )

*adds a mental notice to visit dzeus's site more*

That movie player is cool, but is there an english version, too?

[dZeus]

it _is_ english... just make sure your system locale settings are set to english (united states)
but thanks for mentioning this anyway, as I'll include this info on the site

hehe.... I've updated my FAQ with quite a bit of stuff as well... it's now in between a FAQ and a tips and tricks section

for example, how to switch from tv to monitor on the second output and the other way round, without the need to reboot win2k

[impact]

Of course it is not set to US, because I am european... is there any way to set it manually?

[dZeus]

I've got it set to US... what's the difference anyway? You can change all the settings manually to your liking if you want.

But there is another way of changing the sasami2k stuff to english... something with renaming the language file or something. Searh for it on the net, or experiment a bit yourself
