Mew ATI and tv-out?

Are there any newer ATI cards that has tv-out? (svhs). Looking at 5770 which
seems to be the best I can afford and they all seems to have display port
(whatever that does) and none have the classic svhs/hdtv out connector.

My Sapphire 5870 has DVI, HDMI and Display Port and it came with an
adapter for HDMI to component.

Analoge TV out (CVBS, Y/C) is dead, and very few new cards actually
still come with analoge TV out. More cards do come with analoge
component out (HDTV) but in Europe this is not of much relevance because
TVs that have analogue component input also have VGA or DVI/HDMI inputs.

Unless you have a really ancient TV I wouldn't even bother with Y/C any
more (and if you have then you probably need an older gfx card). Not
only because the image usually looks like crap.

So how do you suggest the OP or anyone else for that matter be able to record
video out from their pc?

Yea, but there are adapters available so he can still do it. In my
previous post I said my 5870 came with HDMI to component adapter, he
wants SVGA though, simple fix is attach component to SVGA adapter to the
HDMI to component adapter. I know you can get those because I have one
collecting dust in my adapter box.

Boris: Open that box up again and take a look at that adapter. It most
likely is a DVI to VGA adapter. This is possible because ATI supplies YPbBr
signals to the DVI connector, which allows the adapter to offer the YPbBr
signals to the VGA adaptor for older monitors.

Something else to consider: ** It is not legal to make or sell HDCP capable
DVI to analog (VGA - Component) converters** . To convert HDMI to component
would break federal laws for HDCP compliant equipment. Ever herd of copy
protection - secure digital connection. I searched NewEgg - they don't have
such a thing. I searched Google, they show some break out cables, but they
say they only work on ATI video boards, which have the YPbBr signals
available.

Look into it.

I don't think that's absolutely true. It depends on the format and
resolution of the output of the conversion. If the output is "SD"
(standard definition) then it is legal. If it's "HD" it's not legal.
I'm not sure where or if these terms are defined precisely. But analog
VGA 640x480 is definitely not considered HD.

HDMI doesn't even have analogue video in it to use. HDCP = High-Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection, read the words High-Bandwidth again please.
You will not find VGA inside of a HDMI signal. You are thinking of a cable
box, or DVD that has HDMI and component output for selection.

Are you aware that the content providers are asking the FCC permission to
turn off the low-definition outputs on cable boxes and dvd's as they desire.
If that happens - say goodbye to VGA and component outputs on the hi-dif
players and boxes whenever the content providers want to turn the ports off.

There are some very expensive active break-out boxes available if you know
where to go. But that is another story.

Thank you Barry for caring. William

We were talking about CONVERTING the digital signal into {something};
both analog and digital can be either HD or SD.

[e.g. component video can be analog HD, while DVI at 800x600 (or lower)
is digital but SD]

My point was, it's not illegal to make a device that takes an HDMI HD
signal (with HDCP) and converts it into, for example, NTSC composite
analog (e.g. yellow RCA plug). That seems to be the capability (not
currently illegal) that you are discussing which providers are asking to
be capable of being turned off. That might work on a cable box
(although maybe not current and past production models) but it will
hardly work for DVD content, which is currently SD, but still of very
good quality.

No, he wants *SVHS* not SVGA.
