Using "VIVO"

**gvblake22** · September 12th, 2006

Ok, so I bought my first high-end video card and was excited about the "VIVO" feature (Video In, Video Out). But I can't figure out how to get it to work! I tried using a Playstation 2 as the input video to display on my monitor using the S-video to Component Video adapter that came bundled with the card to connect to the Component Video (yellow coax cable) from the PS2. Shouldn't this work or am I on the totally wrong thought process here? :?

You're a ******.
:P
No really, have you installed the needed drivers? Even though it might not show in the device manager, you have to install the input/output drivers.
For Geforce 6/7 series, Nvidia WDM here.
For ATI, ATI WDM here.

Then you need an application that will support the VIVO. I suggest Dscaler, a very nice realtime de-interlacer and whatnot.
You can get it here.

Thanks polo. And yes, I am a ****** to this stuff :P
I have an ATI card (X1900GT), but I have installed the latest Catalyst 6.8 driver. Are you talking about a driver different from this? The link in your post doesn't work right.
What do I need to configure in the driver software to get it to regognize the incoming video source correctly?

The WDM is a completely seperate driver for the VIVO. I would imagine if you go and search the ati site you will find it. It will be called something, something WDM.

Oh my bad, no direct linking from ATI website.
Just go there and get "WDM Integrated Driver Only" from the low bandwidth section.

The latest Cat 6.8's should have installed the WDM drivers for you.. it does so for my X800XL. All you need is software to display whatever's coming through the cable... I used ATI MMC to test out my VIVO functionality.

YEs the LAtest 6.8cats will install all drivers needed, including WDM.

@ Blake, dunno if you encode much video, but the Avivo Encoder is very good. You can cross-code stuff from mpeg1 to mpeg2, WM files types, all kinds. The MMC is what you probably need for the PS2.....
