Real 3D StarFighter(R) TV-Out                      readmeTVOut.txt
==================================================================

This information applies to StarFighter boards equipped with the
TV-Out connector (video in/out option).


If a TV is Connected Before Turning on Computer:
===============================================

  Video Bios Version 0146
  -----------------------
    If a TV is attached to the StarFighter TV-Out connector before 
    the computer is turned on, TV-Out will automatically be enabled
    whether or not a computer monitor is also attached.

  Video Bios Version 0147 or later
  --------------------------------
    If a TV is attached to the StarFighter TV-Out connector before
    the computer is turned on, TV-Out will automatically be enabled
    only if a computer monitor is not attached.  If a computer
    monitor is attached, TV-Out will default to the disabled state.


  Note: The Video BIOS version number can be determined by looking
        at the R3D Information tab of the Windows Display
        Properties.  If the default monitor selection is desired,
        check the Real 3D website (www.real3d.com) for the upcoming
        version 0147 Video BIOS release.


If a TV is Connected After Turning on Computer:
==============================================

To enable TV-Out if a TV is attached to the StarFighter TV-Out
connecter after the computer is turned on:

    1. Right-click on the Desktop and choose "Properties" or 
       click on Start=>Settings=>Control Panel and double-click 
       on Display.

    2. Select the R3D main tab and click "Select Tabs".

    3. On the tab selection page, check the "TV I/O Settings" box.

    4. Close the Display Properties sheet, and then reopen it as
       in Step 1.  The R3D TV Out tab is now available.

    5. Select the R3D TV Out tab and enable the TVOut port.

    Note: The resolution of the computer monitor must be set to 
          either 640x480 or 800x600 for TVOut support.  Otherwise
          the TVOut tab will not appear.


Limitations:
===========

When TVOut is enabled, some computer monitors may compress the
picture in the vertical direction and stretch it in the horizontal
direction.  This will not effect the picture displayed to the TV.
