Audio Output
The Audio Output setting allows you to choose between analog or digital audio
output.
¥ The analog output can be directed to the the MacÕs built-in sound circuitry or to the
mini-jack on the Wired 4DVD card.
¥ If you choose digital output, you can specify your preferred format (AC-3, DTS or
PCM). If a disc you are playing has the format you selected, then that data will be
directed to the digital output of tthe Wired 4DVD card. If it does not have the chosen
format, then the next available format will be used instead.
TV 1:1 Ratio
Wired 4DVD is able to convert between PAL and NTSC. This means that if you
have a PAL movie, Wired 4DVD is able to play it properly on NTSC monitors, and
NTSC clips can be played properly on PAL monitors.
If the 1:1 Ratio feature is enabled, the output to the TV is scaled to maintain a 1:1
output ratio. Normally, if NTSC clips (720 x 480 resolution) are played on a PAL
monitor (720 x 576 resolution), the resulting image is squeezed vertically. With
the 1:1 ratio selected, the 720 x 480 NTSC frame will be scaled to 720 x 576 to fill
the PAL television screen. The same applies in reverse. A PAL image output to a
NTSC television will be cropped on the top and bottom of the image to fit into
the NTSC size. With 1:1 ratio selected, the PAL image will be scaled down to 720
x 480 to fit the full frame on the NTSC television.
TV Standard
Select PAL or NTSC, depending on what format TV monitor you are using.
