VIVO & ASUS v9950 Ultra/TD (NVidia FX-5900 Ultra)

[hpm21]

Recently purchased an nvidia based ASUS v9950 Ultra (FX-5900 Ultra) card.

Although the ASUS sight explicitly states that in has video-in, this does not seem to be working. It has a VIVO port but:

1. The nvidia WDM capture driver fails to start.
When reporting the issue to ASUS, they replied, the Ultra/TD model does not have a Video-In capability (although on their web site they claimed otherwise) and only the Ultra/TVD model does. After receiving my complaints, they changed their web site!!!

The card does have a port called (and marked) "VIVO"

Any ideas?

2. When outputing to TV, a wavy line (left to right) appears on the TV (SONY 100hz 32" TV)


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok 2nd take, I made a mistake on replying to this post earlier

Look here dude;
http://www.asus.com/products/vga/v9950u/overview.htm
Scroll down to the v9950 Model List.

There are 3 versions, Deluxe, TVD and TD. Only the Deluxe and TVD models have video in. the TD doesn't have Video In.

You are out of luck on that count dude. :(

Exchange it for a deluxe or TVD model if you want Video In!

Cheers

Thnx for the reply, as I daid, their web-site originally stated otherwise (that the TD model also had VI) After I complained, they changed/corrected their web site, but didn't bother answering my problem

Any ideas about the wavy lines on the TV-Out?

Thnx!

Ah I should learn to read properly too! doh! :D

Well, sorry about that!

I have no ideas on the wavy line thing as I do not use TV out or, an NV card for that matter. Just wait a lil longer, someone might come here to help you out.

FYI ASUS's UK website still has their products table as the TD model having the Video In as well

How are you connecting the card to the TV? S-Video cable or S-Video to composite adaptor cable?

Unfortunately the adaptor cables do a very poor job (you can make a composite signal by mashing the S-Video signal together like lots of card makers do, but the quality sucks, however it is cheap since doing it properly requires filtering circuitry).

S-Video cable. Someone recommended to hook it up, through an adaptor to the SCART-IN and now it works fine!

Thnx
