i8600 ATI 9600 Pro Turbo - help getting HDTV YPrPb to work with ATI dongle and Dell drivers

The Radeon Mobile 9600 does not support HDTV outputs neither will the Radeon Mobile 9700 :(  the Geforce 5700 will though

I have a sony kv-hz34m90 just delivered - there is caution in manual about pc card output to hdtv vprpb terminals - not about non-sony products, rather signal levels & compatibility with internal circuits

there is no single signals standard at this time & circuit/phosphor damage is possible

sony tech advised that it is possible but should be sony recognized pc video card to preserve service contract  --  also, toshiba gave me same info re: newest hdtv 34 model  -- progressive scan can be involved w/multiple phosphor hits occuring burning phosphor

Perhaps I wasn't too clear on what I meant :P

Here youcan see the device I  am refering to, its a tv-out adapter.

http://www.ati.com/support/connectors/componentvideo/cablecomponentvideoadapter.html

Here is the menu I was  refering to.

http://www.ati.com/support/connectors/componentvideo/cablecomponentvideoadapteroverride.html

However that page doesnt state that it works with the Mobility 9600,  but I was told it will with any 9600 card, and with the correct drivers installed.

Which is exactly my problem, I cannot install the drivers because of the dell hardware configuration. I can only use the dell certified 9600 drivers, which do not support the YPrPb output.

the Mobile Radeon 9600 lacks the neccessary components to do it email ATI yourself they dissapointed me :(

have you tried omega's drivers?

omega's drivers? no. Where can i get these omega drivers and what exactly are they?

www.omegacorner.com

 

probably the best third party ATi drivers, and it works with ALL mobility radeons

Please let me know if the Omega drivers resolve this problem.  I'm very interested in getting the component cable for the 9600 as well.  Thanks,

Please let us know your results with this as I have the same setup and I am also looking for a way to output high def.

The other option would be to buy a transcoder right?  These take the vga and make them component I believe.  It looks like that is what this does though so I don't understand why it doesn't work.  If someone could explain it that would be great.

Also, with the s-video out that we have does it only output in 480i?  What does the composite output as?

should NOT work as the 9700 clearly states HDTV output...meaning 9600 probably won't have the feature (the 9600 really isn't a card, so i don't believe it counts)

What do you mean by, "the 9600 really isn't a card"?  It absolutely is a card, only in mobile form factor.  That by itself should not exempt it from generating HDTV output or using the component cable peripheral....  Furthermore, just because a feature is specifically called out in an evolutionary (still uses the same core I believe) product doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  ATI may choose not to disclose this as an officially supported feature on the ~CARD~ for performance reasons, etc....  I concede that it may not work, however your supporting arguements are far from valid.

Ati states HDTV is not supported in Current Mobile Configurations INCLUDING the Radeon 9700 Mobility

Nvidia claims that the 5700 is the only card capable of hdtv output ... we'll see soon enough

 

 

 

good try though.

hmm, why doesn't ATi give out catalyst drivers for the mobility products then? why don't you think first.
