Yes I guess you've got a card with the BT878 chip, the software for which I don't think will do anamorphic 16:9 However the software I wrote for the TV card fitted with the SAA7134 chip has had the ability to display anamorphic 16:9 since Oct 2006 when I released version 0.11 of Remote www.hounsome.org.uk/remote/ > For analogue reception it needs to be able to lose the top and bottom > bars on a 16:9 broadcast (automatically using the signal from the tuner > if possible). For a broadcast analogue signal not easily possible. I did play around with using the line 23 WSS broadcast by Channel 4 but as (at the time) no other UK broadcaster used it, it was a bit of a non-starter > For digital input, it needs to be able to selectively stretch the > picture horizontally so anamorphic 16:9 is shown at the correct aspect > ratio. That's what my software does. It's not automatic, as there's no way to detect if the signal is 4:3 or anamorphic 16:9 over a comp or S-video connection so the user needs to select 4:3 / 16:9 as required > I'm unaware of any card which does that automatically in hardware, it > needs software support which isn't available on RISC OS. !PCiTV only > displays 4:3 regardless of the input, unless there is an update I don't > know about. Not so much an update, more of an alternative ;-) Robin -- Remote - http://www.hounsome.org.uk TV display software for the Iyonix --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support
