Mew ATI and tv-out?
in [ATI Video Cards]

From: Thomas Andersson on 23 Feb 2010 13:32 Are there any newer ATI cards that has tv-out? (svhs). Looking at 5770 which seems to be the best I can afford and they all seems to have display port (whatever that does) and none have the classic svhs/hdtv out connector.

Yea, but there are adapters available so he can still do it. In my previous post I said my 5870 came with HDMI to component adapter, he wants SVGA though, simple fix is attach component to SVGA adapter to the HDMI to component adapter. I know you can get those because I have one collecting dust in my adapter box.

This is possible because ATI supplies YPbBr signals to the DVI connector, which allows the adapter to offer the YPbBr signals to the VGA adaptor for older monitors. Something else to consider: ** It is not legal to make or sell HDCP capable DVI to analog (VGA - Component) converters** . To convert HDMI to component would break federal laws for HDCP compliant equipment. Ever herd of copy protection - secure digital connection. I searched NewEgg - they don't have such a thing. I searched Google, they show some break out cables, but they say they only work on ATI video boards, which have the YPbBr signals available. Look into it. William

Re: "It is not legal to make or sell HDCP capable DVI to analog (VGA - Component) converters**" I don't think that's absolutely true. It depends on the format and resolution of the output of the conversion. If the output is "SD" (standard definition) then it is legal. If it's "HD" it's not legal. I'm not sure where or if these terms are defined precisely. But analog VGA 640x480 is definitely not considered HD.
