498.0. "AlphaNT Video to a Window." by SWAM1::POIANI_MI () Mon Mar 24 1997 16:59

    I have a customer who wants to run Video from an NTSC source into a
    window on an Alphastation running windows NT. Coming from a VCR or
    other source.
    
    What should I reccommend? Do we have NT drivers for our video boards
    for AlphaNT and which card would do this? Do the drivers work if they
    use the Matrox Mellinium Addon cards on AlphaNT?
    
    All help greatly appreciated

    The AV3x1 adapter should work fine on Alpha Windows NT.  It'll take
    video input via composite or s-video connections.  There are various
    adapters/converters at Radio Shack to allow video from Camcorder, VCR,
    TV cable plug, etc. if they do not already have the right connectors.
    Matrox Millenium graphics adapter works just fine with the AV3x1.
    
    If you put the AV3x1 on the Miata, make sure you have the latest
    driver.

498.2Matrox Millenium Plug In BoardsSWAM1::POIANI_MIMon Mar 24 1997 23:499
    Thanks 
    
    Matrox also has to plugin boards, one for Video Capture MPEG and
    another TV Tuner board that plugs into the MPEG board. These are Matrox
    boards that plug into the Matrox Millenium Graphic cards we sell in the
    Miata. Do the Millenium Drivers for Alpha handle these devices or are
    additional drivers required? If so are they available for Alpha NT.

    Re .2, i believe the driver(s) for the Matrox video capture and tuner
    boards is/are not available on Alpha NT yet.  The Matrox driver that i
    mentioned in .1 that supports Alpha NT is a graphics display driver.

There are no drivers for the Matrox video capture cards.
Your best bet is to use the AV301 ($499 list).

    Do we support two AV3x1 cards on our workstations?
    I'm specifically referring to the Alpha 433 Digital PWS.
    
    Thanks,

We do not support more than one AV3x1 card on our 
AlphaNT workstations.
