Licence agreement ATV2000 is freeware. It means it can be free distributed, copied, burned to CD etc., but only as is in this installation package. It cannot be distributed as part of any other software, no part of ATV2000 can be included to other software and cannot be distributed with TV Cards. Also there is no responsibility for any damage of computer, it may cause. You are running it on your own risk. There is no official support, but i try to respond to all questions {except the stupid ones) you send me. Please don't report what is not completly done yet, only bugs please (see bellow section 5). 1. Introduction Thank you for trying ATV2000 - TV viewing application with capture for Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP. 2. Short description ATV2000 is based on two parts - main control panel, which controls all TV functions - tunning, sound control and detection and makes easy interface. The second is video viewing and capture part. It supports two interfaces - Video for Windows and WDM (DirectShow) interface. Note for sheduler: Full support for sheduling including Shutdown and Wake up is only under WDM. VfW allows not setting video compression, so you must enable capture mode and set compression manually. Also Profiles are not implemented in VfW because of the same reason, so selecting profile in ARC2000 sheduler has no effect for VfW. Don't use Wake up with VfW !!! You can use shutdown after capture done. 3. System requirements AMD K6 or Intel Pentium 200MHz+, 400MHz recommended DirectX capable graphics card, overlay support recommended Sound card Supported TV card Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 DirectX 5 or above for VfW capture support DirectX 8.1 or above for WDM capture support 4.

Note: not all paramaters are usable in VfW due to unability to set some capture parameters (compression] Hidden settings in registry (cannot be set in options): [ATV2000/Position] MouseMidleBut F mid-mouse button switches to fullscreen C mid-mouse button shows channel menu [ATV2000] TunerOffset frequency offset to add to tuned frequency 5. Known limitations and issues This software is still in developement, there may be some limitations and unworking (or incorrectly) functions. I have no responsibility for any damage of your computer or software installations, it may cause. Here is list of current issues: - some changes in capture parameters in WDM may cause program crash, because not all unstandart behaviour of codecs and filters may be handled - is improved with every new version - by changing country, tuner will tune to first channel for a while, need to find how to tell driver country settings directly without using ITVTuner interface 6. Future Remove bugs, improve filters, more video formats to frame grabber, more capture cards supported, better Help. 7. History 2.1.2.3 - added enumaration of kernel audio devices (AverTV M150) - fixed switching of audio devices - improved saturation and hue control in BT8x8 module (by ladarozan - thx) 2.1.2.2 - fixed initial display of video encoding for selected preview pin -

can set bitrate for capture and preview format - usable only for compressed formats, set to -1 to disable bitrate setting, 0 for uncompressed formats like RGB or YUV, also it may not work for all formats, but for hardware MPEG encoders it should work (tested with Plextor ConvertX USB device) - fixed hidding of cursor introduced in 2.1.0.0 - fixed reading of capture size from registry - fixed enumaration od audio devices with no video devices - choice of TV channels via keyboard can be speed up with Enter after number of TV channel - TVTuner, TVAudio and TVCrossbar interfaces are searched on video capture capture device too, needed for some devices, that has no independend tuner or crossbar filters (for example VXIS7012) - added support for Video Mixing Renderer 9 - fixed aspect ratio corrections in VMR7 and VMR9 renderers - fixed wrong flipping of video in Video converter filter, when converting RGB to RGB with one negative height value - Video converter filter now supports increase of width on output to avoid connecting errors on some video cards (Parhelia, Geforce) - can show property page of audio comressor (the state is not remembered yet) - support for InterVideo MPEG encoder contained in WinDVR 2 2.1.1.5 - fixed updating of audio capture parameters when changing container -

PR14.4: - changing volume/brightness/contrast/saturation in channel setup now adjusts corresponding parameters - volume adjustment is now done by TV Card if supported (it means has MSP34xx sound decoder with BT8x8 module) - state of checkbox in "Test" button in Channel setup is now saved - fixed some bugs and behaviour in channel setup - optimized RGB24 to YUY2/UYVY conversion in Frame grabber to MMX, which is approximatly 3x faster - "Down" key now decreases bar position - implemented /f, /b and /capmode parameters - added support for PMC Pace TV Card - fixed some bugs when releasing objects in WDM - fixed coexistence with PowerDVD (crash in claudfx.ax) (hope) PR14.3: - fixed capture to segmented files, introduced in PR13 - fixed capture limit with /cdur parameter - segmented files are now more accurate, less dropped frames - now can preview DV devices (no capture, video frame grabber must be disabled) - reworked channel setup - those three pages are now "all-in-one" - removed gamma correction and added brightness, contrast and saturation correction for every channel independent - GeneralWDM plugin - audio path is set also for Tuner/Ext/SVHS PR14.2: - fixed image flipping in Special effects filter and Deinterlace filter, it was the same problem as in Video frame grabber filter, also changed the way it is handled in all of those filters - compatibility with bicubic resize filter, version 1.2.1 or above needed - optimized YUY2/UYVY to RGB24 conversion in Frame grabber to MMX, which is approximatly 2x faster - joined capture preferences and compression to one dialog - some restore with cancel button not handled - will be fixed ASAP - fixed ActiveMovie window if teletext filter cannot be connected (on some drivers) - fixed some audio formats problems with failed connection of audio compressor to audio capture device - added experimental support for ALL devices with standart WDM drivers and tuner - new plugin GeneralWDM, please write me results with different cards (no signal detection, so don't use autoscan, also very weak, so don't check checkbox in "test button" - this is due to microsoft implementation of tuner interface, where is not possible to tune direct frequency, but only channels) - added new menu to VCR panel - VCR panel can be now aligned to video window and can be Alway on top - improved BT8x8 plugin - support for PV951 (tested), can set cross frequencies for tuner and I2C bus frequency - improved TV Card setup (plugins), new component - bevel - added Dutch language and 29 new icons - thanx to Paul Perreijn PR14.1: - fixed image flipping in frame grabber when converting from RGB to YUV mode and vice versa - it caused upside-down image when capturing in RGB24 mode and in preview without overlay (video renderer should switch automaticly to overlay mode, but he didn't - may be some problem with graphics card, but my Matrox G400 as well G450 works great) - fixed setting of video properties when selecting from Capture/Video menu and "Duplicate capture stream" enabled - added support for UYVY and RGB555 modes in Video frame grabber filter - removed the Color converter from Microsoft and using my Framegrabber instead, it supports now RGB24, RGB555, YUY2 and UYVY modes, some code improvements (~2% faster :-)) - in future needs to optimize it for more speed (MMX) - added support for frame capture to BMP 16 bits in WDM - added setting of application priority (not recommended on Windows 9x/Me) - fixed quick start with MSP34xx sound decoder PR14: - WDM image capture ! - not using Microsoft's samplegrabber like other softwares, but my own directshow filter, which is faster and supports YUY2 and RGB24 modes for correct overlay, more modes will come in future to replace Microsoft's color convertor while capturing using smart tee filter for preview - implemented "Continue on other drive if full" to capture in WDM with alternate directories, capture also keeps selected free space on drive and does not start capture if less then selected space available (for VfW later) - added option to automaticly overwrite file or autoindex without displaying the message box - fixed setting of AVI interleaving introduced in PR13 - fixed audio muting in WinXP introduced again in PR13 - closing video window closes panel too - added ability to save graph in debug mode - fixed setting debug mode to capture application if requested from panel - fixed retrieving file size in Player - changed (hope fixed) setting of sound system on AVerMedia TVCapture/TVPhone cards - now priority will be to remove bugs and extend implemented features (better filters, more formats etc.) PR13: - one big change: in WDM added duplicating of capture stream for preview using smart tee filter, so while capturing more then 288 lines (240 for NTSC) we can see preview with BT848/878 cards - redesigned some parts of capture interface - updated headers to DirectX 8.1, so may be it is required to install DirectX 8.1 (not tested) - unlimited number of devices supported in WDM - enumerating of devices is not done twice in WDM - rewritten source code for connecting video compressors and setting their parameters - added setting of format for audio compressors - added "Show all formats" to audio compressors, but selecting is disabled - cannot set unmatched format, only for view of all available formats, it must correspond to audio capture format - fixed retrieving of media framerate in Player - added retrieving of audio parameters in Player - fixed subtitles bug introduced in PR12.2 in Player - if screen resolution changed (decreased) and the panel is out of screen, it's position is corrected PR12.4: - unreleased version for testing and play only PR12.3: - added French and Italian languages support to teletext - now can save all cached teletext pages to indexed files - this is the end of currently developement of teletext for ATV2000, now all stuff interested for me are done. I know there is more to do (magazine, navigation, channel specific information, VPS, more languages support and more), but it now depends on my friend TV Zuggy, that helped me very much at the beginning (thanks), and sure, if he is interested in.
