X800 series cards HELP!!! What is this????????

[Spud]

Hi guys,

Can anyone clarify exactly what this is on the X800 series graphics cards and what it does and how to use it should it be neccessary.

To me it looks like a switch of some kind, written above each switch are letter KE and the ON and underneath KE is 1 and underneath ON is 2.

Please fully maximize the window when you select the attached thumbnail.

Thanks

I would really appreciate your help :)

I think this switch is for VIVO format (PAL/NTSC). You can find it in your manual.

As strange as it may sound I have looked through the manual supplied by ATI and there is no mention of this switch at all.

If anyone can help I would be really grateful.

Thanks

Does your card have VIVO?

[Spud]

It is an ATI X800XT PE PCI-E Master crossfire card, running stand alone. Yes of course it has vivo capability. I just want to know exactly which of the two switches on this chip next to the ATI Rage Theatre chip actually do, and how to use them correctly.

Thanks

ATI makes crossfire cards for AGP? There is AGP card on the posted picture.
I am nearly sure that it switches VIVO from PAL to NTSC and vice-versa.

am I the only one who has noticed that the card in the pic is agp. There is no way that is a crossfire master card :shadedshu

The card here is AGP, its not my card. This is just for an example, the actual switch is the same on both APG and PCI-e. My card is in my PC.

As for switching from PAL to the other format, I think thats what it does but how do you set it correctly.

Thanks

Please just focus on the question, the fact that the card is AGP or PCI-Express is not the point of this thread. The chip with two switches above the first the letters KE are written and then ON is written above the other, if you could tell me what it does and how to use it I would be most grateful

Thanks
