Nvtv can enable, activate and configure the TV output of most NVidia cards,
|
2003-10-06 14:55:36 +02:00
|
|
|
and some others, such as some 3dfx ones. Nvtv probes and uses the PCI bus
|
2003-10-06 06:01:39 +02:00
|
|
|
directly, thus does not need any kernel support, and allows a very low-level
|
2003-10-06 14:55:36 +02:00
|
|
|
access to the multiple TV encoder chips supported. Then you have a direct
|
2003-10-06 06:01:39 +02:00
|
|
|
control over the registers of the chip, and can use all the resolutions and
|
|
|
|
|
sizes the board supports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the accesses done by Nvtv need root privileges, and a daemon is
|
|
|
|
|
provided to allow non-privileged users control the TV output of the graphics
|
|
|
|
|
card.
