|  Support for the Sigma X Card Do you know if there is, or ever will be, support for the Sigma X-Card (http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/xcard.htm)? I am desperately looking for a high quality RGB signal for my TV and this is a possibility if Media Portal supports it. |

| Just wondering if there was any progress on mp supporting the xcard - I noticed there was a request a while ago on the sigma designs forum from someone attached to the project for the sdk. Was it forthcoming? If you're ever looking for testers, I'd be happy to pitch in. Cheers, Bascombe |

| This is unlikely to ever happen, IMO the card does not offer any advantages over modern graphics cards. The ability to play a movie in fullscreen on a PII is nice and all but thats not what MP is about. More importantly, MP relies on DX9 to accelerate much of the UI's rendering. Even though the XCard has certain graphics capabilities, they are nowhere near what are needed. |

| Is it possible to just use the Xcard as RGB Scart TV out for qual, as I find svid, comp, on the nvidia tricky to get good picture ps. I have also seen the xcard used with tvedia and the divx playback is of a lot higher standard than just software codecs |

The render engine is the subject of heavy changes at the moment and these changes are expected to continue into the new year. Once these changes are in place the task of adding support for additional output devices, such as the XCard, will be *greatly* simplified. That said, there is no guarantee that the XCard's rendering capabilities are going to be able to do a satisfactory job. My advice to anyone wishing to implement support would be to hold on until this work is complete. | |
