42 Introduction

Using Games and Applications

Some older games and applications may program your RADEON™ X800
PCIe Series directly to run under a specific display mode. This may cause
your TV display to turn off automatically or become scrambled (the PC
monitor will not be affected). Your TV display will be restored once you
exit the game or if you restart your computer.

Introduction

View computer output directly on your High Definition Television
(HDTV) or other component input device. Provide a big-screen experience
for your computer that is ideal for playing games, giving presentations,
watching movies, and browsing the Internet.

HDTV uses YPbPr connectors to receive input. YPbPr stands for the
following:

• Y = Green

• Pb = Blue

• Pr = Red

The HDTV Component Video Adapter can be used in place of the standard
A/V Output cable to connect to an HDTV or other component input device,
using component video cables.

L

You must have a monitor attached to your computer before installing
the ATI HDTV. For proper operation of your ATI Component Video
Adapter, ATI display drivers must be correctly installed.
