  • External Monitor Support for a GeForce overlay out?

    Posted by Jonathan Capra on June 28, 2005 at 5:06 am

    My MSI GeForce MX440 64meg video card has an overlay option, that when turned on, will pipe full-screen any video in a window that is hitting the card’s overlay hardware to it’s NTSC composite out.

    This works with programs like Windows Media Player: You will see the video in a window on your VGA display while it is simultaneously full-screen on a 2nd NTSC monitor.

    Is there any way to get Vegas inherently to access this hardware feature to use it as an External Monitor while editing? Or else is there maybe a virtual device driver out there for Windows that would make it appear to Vegas as an available display device?

    Vegas 6 can display to a secondary monitor. I don’t know if it will do you any good but you might also want to look at the TV Out tool at https://mikecrash.wz.cz/

    couldnt find that utility there but..

    I notice that when I am capturing using Sony VidCap, it pipes the video to the GeForce card’s NTSC out.. But why not in Vegas itself? In the GeForce settings, this is referred to as the ‘overlay feature’.
