Details of Visiontek Xtasy Everything

[enriguep]

Can someone point me to some place where the details of Visiontek Xtasy Everything are given. Visiontek's and nvidia's web site have none or too little info. I could not find even a manual anywhere.

I want to know if the break-out box requires separate power source. And if so, at what rating?

Thanks.

The box does not require a separate power source. It's powered through the video connection to the video card. That connection is a proprietary plug, not s-video.

Thx for the reply GreyHair but I found this pic at one of the reviews at http://www.nvmax.com/Articles/Reviews/VISIONTEK_PERSONAL_CINEMA/ which shows a power connector.




I am sure, they who have Xtasy Everything can tell this for sure. In that case, the picture may be misleading!

Any Xtasy Everything owners, can you put a link to the manual that is in pdf format? It'd be great help to all who have been banging their heads for want of more info.

Thanks.

I don't know why image did not show up in my previous post so here it is again

Well. Three thoughts for you.

1. If you have a pic that shows it has a power supply, why are you bothering to ask?

2. What makes you think I don't own one?

3. If you weren't going to believe a response you got, why post it?

I just bought the thing. It has a place on the box where it apparently used to have a power supply connector. But mine doesn't require any additional power source.

Believe it or not.........

Sheeesh.......

Hey GreyHair

Thanks for you reply. For one, I never said or even hinted that you don't have that card. Since the pic at the review did not match with your description, I wanted to be sure of that. Consider that I'd be spending my hard earned 100+ dollars on the card and wanted to make sure that the card operates without needing additional power supply since I'd be taking it with me to overseas for use.

And I did not disbelieve you. There is a difference between disbelieving and investigating further.
Have n't you ever said to someone "Are you sure?" Why take it so personally?

Thanks again for the info.

Hi all,

I am an owner of this card. Here is some info:

- Hardware: Based on NVIDIA G2MX400 chip. Video encoder/decoder chip: Philips SAA7108E (9-bit ADC). Video in: s-video, composite, and TV cable. Video out: s-video and composite.
- Software: Intervideo WinDVR and WinDVD3

WinDVR ver 1 comes with the package has problems: Video and audio out of sync. I upgraded to version 2 ($15.00) from Intervideo web site. This requires to upgrade newer WDM driver from Visiontek and Directx 8.1.

I can capture from WinDVR to VCD, SVCD, and DVD. It only gives me CBR. If you need VBR then run through another MPEG-2 encoder.

Ok I just got this card, it took awhile and some messing with drivers but I have it up and working. I'm using videowave to capture, and I'm getting sync no problem. Just wanted to pass that along. These guys seem to have no support so I guess we all need to stick together.
