My 1240x16 geovision runs great on 3 systems with Nvidia 4800-5900 cards.

 

It will not run in DSP mode with my Radeon X1300 Pro running on a Pentium D 930(dual core). Without DSP overlay the image will be all jagged, blocky and interlaced looking. I would make sure geovsion supports the X1600XT in DSP overlay mode as your using the same drivers as the x1300. Otherwise the image will look like crap.

Sorry not MP3, it will be only for Internet Radio...

Gonna connect the soundcard to the store's speakers! (through an amp)

So its CCTV, and store music at the same time....

DSP - A DSP is a microprocessor designed to work with analog signals such as video or audio that have been digitally encoded.

 

The DSP is an RCA output on the 1240 cards that allow you to connect to an external CCTV monitor or TV. Gives you better quality display and allows you to display only the security cameras without the software showing up on the screen like you see on the DVR screen.

 

It is a nice feature that comes with that card.

DSP is used in processing and storing the image and it's used on the main monitor. The monitor hooked to your Graphics card.

You own that card. You should know better than that. The DSP is on the back of the GeoVison card, not on the back of the video card.

 

Lost in Translation maybe

I think you were talking about the RCA output jack.

 

My original post in this thread was about DSP overlay. It's mostly software based digital signal processing but the geovision software calls on the graphic card to handle certain functions and process the data and needs a compatible graphics card to work. The nvidia cards work fine. The older radeon cards work fine but some of the higher end X1300 to X1900 cards are having problems. Geovision needs to rewrite some code to get it to work on some of the new cards.
