TV DRIVERS

To use the TV Drivers, please check that you have a Voodoo card installed. 
The enclosed drivers support the most popular  TV cards based on the 
FUSION 878A and 879A as well as Bt848A and Bt849A chipsets. For the 
complete list, see the TVprefs drawer.

Automatic TV Drivers installation:
Follow the installer scripts.

2. Copy the appropriate TV card prefs file to Envarc:Mediator. 
   Change its name in Envarc:Mediator to TV.prefs.
3. Copy the TV file from the appropriate drawer in the TVsystems 
   area to the C: drawer.
4. Copy Broadcast and Cable TV Channels setting files appropriate 
   to your location to any selected drawer on your HDD. 

Note: After installing the drivers, remove the CD-ROM from 
      the drive.

Customising your TV desktop:    

Leave out the TV icon from the C: drawer.
This icon will be used for adjusting image parameters 
(size, contrast, brightness, sat_u, sat_v, hue, others).

TV program parameters:
PLL:        channel frequency [MHz] x 16,
VIDEO_SRC:  0-TV tuner, 1-external (camera), 2- optional, 3-optional
AUDIO_MODE: 0-tuner, 1-radio, 2-external, 3-internal, 4-mute
CONTRAST:   from 0 to 255, default 108,
BRIGHT:     from 0 to 255, default 128,
SAT_U:      from 0 to 255, default 90,
SAT_V:      from 0 to 255, default 90,
HUE:        from 0 to 255, default 128,

FM:         radio,

Leave out the icons of the Broadcast Channel drawer and the TV Cable 
channel drawer icons. The complete set of channels available in your 
location are provided in these drawers: just click on the channel icon 
to set on the appropriate TV program.

As not all the frequencies are used by broadcasting stations, we recommend 
renaming icons for the corresponding TV channels (e.g. CH27 to MTV) and 
removing all the other icons, which  are not supported in your location.

To be able to watch TV, use the screen modes, which support the overlay 
function: 16-bit PC, 24-bit BGR or 32-bit BGRA.

If opening TV is attempted in the mode which does not support overlay,
the TV program will display the following message:
Error: p96PIP_OpenTagList () failed.

This message means that the Picasso96 system is not able to open the
overlay window.

Unter certain specific situations, the P96 system may also refuse opening
the window due to the error in comunication of the Picasso96 system with
AmigaOS3.9.
To prevent this error coming up, it is usually enought to set the Icon
Quality to GOOD in Workbench prefs (instead of BEST). Also, when the
system is started, do not keep the CD_ROM in the drive.

 
SOUND DRIVERS

The enclosed drivers support all the most popular TV cards based on the 
ES1371, ES1373, CT5880 and EV1938 chipsets.
