    Hi, everyone, Since I got the card I seen a noticiable weird look at composite output, all color gradients look like got a high level of compression, this only happen at composite output, S-Video looks fine, although I need to use the composite output, some know something about it, really I will appreciate, Thanks.

    Jack,

    It`s happening at the input of your next unit but caused by your output video signal being too strong or wrongly pedestalled. Terminate both ends of the cable with the right impedances then check your video on an oscilloscope.

    Run don`t walk to a camera professional (Broadcaster or similar) with a stairstep color generator. Make a recording from that input signal and analyze it properly through your suite. If it`s bad, your suite`s out of whack, if it isn`t, what`s wrong with your input video source or it`s way of hookup?

    Ah! My previous guess is much more likely.
