software components.

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.
Manual TV Drivers installation:
1. Copy tv.library to the Libs: drawer.
2. Copy the appropriate TV card prefs file to Envarc:Mediator.
Change its name in Envarc:Mediator to TV.prefs.
Note: TV.prefs file defines all the details of the specific TV card
including RF frond-end model and GPIO lines settings as well
as layout of audio connections.
Note: If, despite selecting the TV.prefs file appropriate for the
given card, only external video inputs are working, and
switching to the TV program results only in a bluish or snowy
window, it means that the card has an RF front-end installed,
which is not standard for this card. If this is the case,
select the proper frond-end in the Tuner preferences file
in Envarc:Mediator drawer, which corresponds with the
description in the card's front-end (the metal box).
Note: If there are no problems with TV image, but sound is missing,
it means that a wrong TV.prefs file has been selected.
Change it for another, corresponding with the name in the
TV card's package.
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 (video-in), 2-optional
(s-video b&w), 3-optional, 65638-optional (s-video),
65639-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,
SIGNAL_FMT: 1-NTSC_M, 2-NTSC_MJ, 3-PAL_BDGHI, 4-PAL_M, 5-PAL_N,
6-SECAM_L, 7-PAL_NC
SIZE: from 1 to 8; default 4,
BACKDROP: TV as a backdrop
FM: radio,
FULL_FRAME: full TV screen (greater than the regular TV screen)
CLOSE: close TV window or backdrop
FREQ_STEP: 0-62.5kHz, 1-31.25khz, 3-50khz
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 is 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.
Note: The backdrop color, which is replaced by the backdrop TV screen
is specified in Envarc:Mediator/Background
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.
Under certain 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.
Note:
Instead of using TV command directly, you can control TV screen
parameters with the GUI written by 3rd party developers.
