Hi all,
currently there is no new MP version, so i had the time to do some hardware experiments.
I tried the guide tups posted for my ATi Radeon 8500 from HIS. And it works! The picture quality is great! :shock:
Nearly as good as the one from the Hauppauge PVR 350 TV out. Great colours, blackvalues and contrast.
The biggest problem really is to find out the right settings for Powerstrip :?. Those PAL settings mentioned on the page did not work at all. So i searched the forum of PS, there are many settings, but none did work. Then i found out that there are already some presets in PS. Finally the settings for PAL 1024x576 did work! I then just made a new setting with the desired resolution of 720x576 and this also worked. I now have a nice picture.
I now "only" search settings for 800x600 (gaming) and 768x576 (real PAL 4:3). No luck, yet. Finding out the right settings is really frustrating....
Here the settings that work for me:
PAL 720x576@25Hz (i really have an old TV ) tiling off
PowerStrip timing parameters:
720x576=720,62,48,138,576,25,5,35,15125,41
Generic timing details for 720x576:
HFP=62 HSW=48 HBP=138 kHz=16 VFP=25 VSW=5 VBP=35 Hz=24
Linux modeline parameters:
"720x576" 15,125 720 782 830 968 576 601 606 641 interlace +hsync +vsync
PAL 1024x576@25Hz tiling on
PowerStrip timing parameters:
1024x576=1024,64,48,136,576,5,5,39,19875,41
Generic timing details for 1024x576:
HFP=64 HSW=48 HBP=136 kHz=16 VFP=5 VSW=5 VBP=39 Hz=25
Linux modeline parameters:
"1024x576" 19,875 1024 1088 1136 1272 576 581 586 625 interlace +hsync +vsync
If i find other working settings, i will post them here. For now i am really satisfied with the results i got.
Flip.
