-
- Known problems:
-
- The nVidia driver has several problems with the special resolutions in
- TV mode. This can causes some effects when using 768x576 or 720x480:
-
- 1. The TVTool dualview function might fail (no picture on monitor)
-
- 2. The resolution might not be accessible. This is the case for PAL 60
- on cards with BT86x or CX2587x chips, if PAL is selected in the
- display properties. Solution: Select NTSC in display properties.
- If you have this problem the TV picture will just flicker a lot in
- PAL 60 mode.
-
- Notes: There are no language files in the package yet. These should come
- shortly. For the translators: I┤m currently making a better lang-
- uage system and will contact you shortly.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NEW features and changes of this version:
-
-
- - The zoom function is multi monitor capable now, also ths zoomfactors
- 0.5x and 1x have been added. This is very useful if you run multiple
- monitors. So you can remote control the display you don┤t see on the TV.
-
- - 'Play on TV' context menu options is made multi monitor capable. The
- player starts now on the display which is connected to the TV. Also
- the movie player will be concluded with TVTool automatically.
-
- - Automatic initialization of the special resolution 768x576 and 720x480.
- So there is NO more need for modified *.inf files!
-
- - The soundcard settings got a LED to show quickly which one is active.
-
- - HUE control added for BT868/869 and all Philips chips. As these chips
- don┤t support hue control, it is simulated by changing the levels for
- the component signals U and V.
-
- - Negative H-Sync added for Chrontel chips. This shall prevent disturbances
- on some systems.
-
- - Resize function has been made multi monitor capable. Therefore it works
- on the TV display, too (if you run multiple monitors). Also the window
- detection has been improved, so you will also pick up the player, not
- any toolbars anymore.
-
- - Curtain mode is multi monitor capable now. Looks very nice!
-
- - Function 'Direct overlay' is active in clone mode only anymore.
-
- - Display detection is improved. If you have multiple display adapters
- in your PC TVTool will find the right ones, which are connected to the
- nVidia card.
-
- - Card detection is improved. If you have two nVidia cards in your PC the
- right one is selected.
-
- - TVTool controls the TV mode in nView mode only, when the green button was
- pressed. So far it controlled it always.
-
- - The resolution radio buttons now always reflect the currently active TV
- mode resolution.
-
- - Sound balance bug fixed.
-
- - Dot Crawl reduction was not active, fixed.
-
- - No colorbar option was not saved, fixed.
-
- - Adaption to large fonts improved.
