Hi--I really like the dual-DVI feature of the XFX GeForce 6600GT graphics CARD. However, it doesn't have VIVO.

I know VIVO means Video In Video Out, but what exactly am I MISSING by not having it?

What would be an example of how VIVO would be used?

Thanks for any replies!Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's if you want to send your computer's video (your desktop and anything you would SEE on the monitor) to a TV or projector.

FlameVideo In Video Out, usually seen as the acronym VIVO, enables video cards to have bidirectional (input and OUTPUT) video transfer through one connector, by using a specialised splitter cable. VIVO is commonly pronounced "Vee-Voe", but other pronunciations are in use.

VIVO is featured on some video cards, such as the Nvidia GeForce range and the ATI Radeon series. It can receive input from RCA or S-Video sources, and typically moves output over RCA, less commonly over S-Video. However, at this time, S-Video is more widely used for VIVO by both Nvidia and ATI.

Some VIVO cables also support the output of component luminance, and 2x chrominance, enabling HDTV support. However as this connection is not digital it does not support HDCP which would be required for official HDTV support as set out by the EICTA.

google makes me sound smart.

so summed up, u can watch tv on ur monitor, and u can also watch ur monitor on tv.Quote
