Xcard support by TVedia
When it comes to video and audio playback, one cannot stop demanding for higher quality. Using PC display card as the output device, you can get superb signal on your TV set if your TV can take digital inputs. However, if your TV is an analog model, the current TV out technology on most PC display cards can only generate a signal with mediocre quality, not to mention the frustration with screen cutoff on all 4 sides due to overscan.
SigmaDesigns Xcard, is the only video decoder card on the market that generates commercial DVD player quality TV signals. It is capable of generating NTSC, PAL, PAL60 signals via composite, s-video, SCART, and component connectors. It can also generate 480p, 720p, and 1080i HDTV signals if your TV set is capable of displaying them. The full range of signal standards supported, and the quality of the signal makes it an ideal output device for your home theater PC.
TVedia is the only software on the market that fully supports SigmaDesigns Xcard. It can not only playback media files using Xcard, taking advantage of hardware based decoding to reduce the requirement of your PC speed when it's possible, it can also playback DVD with Xcard, and display all on screen user interface with semi-transparent overlay through Xcard. A patent pending OSD engine overcomes Xcard's 256 color OSD restriction to display images with full range of colors, so user interface is as vibrant as displayed on a 32 bit colored PC display.
The video quality from Xcard can easily match with high end DVD players in the market. It's a perfect solution for your Media Center PC.
