Connectivity
All connectors are mounted on the slot bracket of the card. The NTSC antenna connector accepts anything, from standard aerial input to cable or satellite-receiver signals. Since the card lacks an audio processor of its own, the stereo signal is passed on through to the sound card's line-in, either externally or via an internal cable (which ATi does not include). The third possibility is to output the signal digitally to a Dolby Digital decoder, using the S/PDIF. The Video-Out leaves nothing to be desired either, including S-VHS and composite output. The connectors for the video and audio output can be found on a separate break-out box, which comes with adhesive pads and can be stuck to a surface such as the desk, for example. The cable length of 1.50 meters should be sufficient. ATi also thought to include two short cables, one each for S-VHS and composite video.
Although, theoretically, all RADEON cards support dual display modes in hardware, AIW cards are limited to the use of only a single monitor at a time. This can be either a digital monitor connected by DVI or a conventional analog CRT (using an adapter). So, in this case, the dual display feature is limited to the TV-Output (e.g. monitor + TV-Out).
