Combustion2.0 graphic board/framebuffer

[teacup]

I'm waiting the upgrade to Combustion2.0 and I'm building a new system to use it. I know Combustion2.0 uses OpenGL to accelerate its operations, so I was pointing towards an ATI FireGL3 or a new Radeon7500/8500, to take advantage of working with 2 monitors. My problem is that I don't know how to display the Combustion composition I'm working on on a PAL monitor with these boards... The Radeon7500 and 8500 have an S-video output connector: will it be used to do this? If yes, how? What other solutions do you propose? Let's resume: I need to work in Win2K on two monitor, with OpenGL support, and output on a PAL monitor with S-video (even composite and component) connections.

Thanks.

Hi,

If i understand good, you want to output "result" video on TV monitor, for precise color checking etc.?

You then going to need profesional NLE card with frame buffer. As i know, now (on PC) only Matrox Digisuite serie and maybe DPS Reality/Velocity or Pinnacle's Targa 3000 (i'm not sure) support virtual frame buffer.
