Title: Cool news from Elbox
Post by: Acill on December 15, 2003, 08:46:04 PM
Got some cool news from Elbox today about them making drivers for an MPEG-2 card at last for all you that would want one! See below for more info.

Hello Mediator users,

New versions of many drivers will become available in the coming days.
The update will include new versions of Voodoo, FastEthernet, TV tuner
and Spider card drivers.

We are now busy at completing work on support for a PCI hardware
MPEG-2 decoder card. Apart from vision decoding, compressed sound is
also decoded by the hardware of this card!

The MPEG-2 decoder card requires simultaneous presence of a TV tuner
card with the SVHS input connector. The decoded video stream is sent
from the MPEG-2 decoder's card through the SVHS connector to the
TV tuner card input and it is viewed in the same way as television
(see here: http://www.elbox.com/products/tv_screens.html).

Best regards,

Relax guys, SharkPPC will come, that's for sure. I know Phase5's promises about G4-powered Cyberstorms and Blizzards weren't true (unfortunately there are more examples of Amiga vapourware) but it's time to belive. Elbox always keeps promises, right? :-)
