5.3.2 - DISPLAY CONTROL Display Output to TV in Windows 3.x
Display output to TV is possible by connecting a video cable from the Composite or S-Video jack on the back of the adapter card to the Video-in jack of your TV set. The default setting of your adapter card is set to output to CRT only. (See jumper #JP14), however the setting to CRT or TV can be selected by software using the 'Display Control' utility. When the adapter card is set to this mode, only the Windows 3.x and Windows 95 drivers will work correctly. All other drivers such as DOS driver will work only in CRT mode. The 'Display Control ' utility allows the user to select/deselect UnderScan, Interlaced; to adjust Screen Shift; and select either CRT or TV as the device type.

Select "UnderScan" to be able to see the entire graphic/video screen on your TV set. If this is not selected, graphic/video screen will be partly covered by the edges of the TV monitor case. If the TV set screen flickers excessively while in the output-to-television mode, un-check "Interlaced" or check "Most Reduction" to reduce flickering on TV. The Screen Shift bar adjust the horizontal positioning or vertical positioning of display of your TV set.

5.3.3 - DPMS (DISPLAY POWER MANAGEMENT SIGNALING)
The POWER MANAGEMENT program is designed for energy-saving monitors that conform to the VESA( Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) standard.

WARNING: THE USE OF THIS PROGRAM IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MONITORS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT THE VESA DPMS STANDARD.

The program offers three power-down modes


The program monitors for mouse and/or keyboard activity. When activity is not detected for a specified delay period (controlled by the Delay Time parameter), the program signals the ProVidia9685( to enter the selected power-down modes.
The Display Power Management program offers several options to customize the DPMS operation:

Delay Time
The delay time to enter each mode can be set by entering the value (in minutes) in the Delay Time parameters. Values can be entered by either clicking on the count-up or count-down button, or by clicking on the number, deleting it, and typing in the desired time in minutes

Activity Select
The Activity Select option selects which activity the program senses in order to restore the display to the monitor. For example, if both mouse and keyboard are selected, then either activity will re-establish the powered down signals.

Password Option
The Password Option sets up a password to get back onto the screen.

Clock
Turning on the clock enables the digital count down display.

Alarm
If the Alarm option is enabled, then the last 5 seconds of countdown to Stand by mode is synchronized with beeps from the PC speaker.

Startup On/Off
This option installs the Display Power Management program onto the Windows Startup file, so that DPMS is active upon entering Windows.

Default
The default button sets all parameters back to the factory default values.

Test
The test feature is used to give a demonstration of the DPMS power down function.
