-
- A. The FunTV application installation programs copy various executable,
- DLL and INI files in the corresponding directories.
-
- 1. MVPApp(Multimedia Video Processor Application) Release Files:
-
- Application Directory:
- MVPAPP.EXE MVPApp Windows application.
- REMOTE.EXE On-screen remote control application
- TUNERAPP.EXE TV Tuner control application
- TUNER.DTA Data file for TV channel information
- MSGDISP.EXE Message dispatcher application
- MSGDISP.DTA Data file for MSGDISP application
- AVERAUD.EXE Audio control application
- README.TXT This file.
-
- Windows Directory:
- MVP131.INI MVPApp INI file to initialize the application and to
- save the settings.
- MVP131.BIN Configuration file to initialize the FunTV board
- and to save the settings.

-
- C. The conflict bwtween FunTV board and other hardware(boards, or whatever).
-
- The FunTV board uses I/O address B18-B1Bh or B28-B2Bh, it will affect
- the hardware with the same I/O address or with the I/O address of
- 318-31Bh or 328-32Bh(since the ISA bus allows boards to ignore the higher
- significant address bits above A10).
-
- What boards uses the 318h-31Bh or 328-32Bh? The answer is the Network
- boards. In other words, it will conflict with the Network boards which
- use defualt address(300-31Fh) address if FunTV board uses B18-B1Bh.
- Under such situation, you can update the address from B18 to B28 in the
- MVP131.INI(by text editor) and change the jumper setting for FunTV, or
- change the I/O address of Network boards to avoid the problem.
-
-
- D. Using Chinese Windows System:
-
- If the Windows system you are using is Chinese version, please pull(or put)
- the MSGDISP.EXE file from \FUNTV\MVPAPP directory to the "Startup" group
- under Program Manager.

-
- E. Most frequently asked Questions & Answers:
-
- Q. What is the difference between Dual Edge and Double Clock in Hi-color
- (32K or 64K colors) mode?
- A. There are two clock timings of the sequential byte loading of the pixel
- data for the Hi-color mode. That is,
- 1. Dual Edge mode:
- The two bytes are latched on the two opposing edges of the pixel
- clock, the Byte of Least Significant part is latched on the rising
- edge of the pixel clock, and the Byte of Most Significant part is
- latched on the falling edge of the pixel clock.
- 2. Double Clock mode:
- Two consecutive pixel clocks are used to load 2 bytes of data.
- On the first rising edge of the pixel clock, the Byte of Least
- Significant part is latched, and the second rising clock edge
- latches the Byte of Most Significant part.
-
- This is because there is no standard approach to know from the Windows
- system which one of the two modes, dual edge or double clock, of the
- Hi-color mode is currently used. The AVer FunTV board will
- automatically detect which clock timing is used.
-
- If the video shown on the screen is not visible, then the automatic
- detection may be wrong for Hi-color mode, you can correct this mistake
- by clicking the appropriate "color mode" option in the "VGA
- Parameters..." item of menu "Setup".
-
- Q. What is the difference between interlaced and non-interlaced mode of
- VGA display?
- A. The condition of detecting interlaced/non-interlaced mode of VGA
- display is quite different from a VGA card to another.
-
- Generally, if the resolution of a VGA display is below and equal to
- 800*600, the mode of VGA card used is always non-interlaced mode.
- While at the resolution of 1024*768 or 1280*1024, this assumption may
- be in doubt.
-
- Simialrly as the control item for the clock mode selection, you can
- change between interlace and non-interace by clicking the "Interlace"
- check-box in the "VGA Parameters..." item of "Setup" menu. #
