Video-117PCI-16 and Video-117PCI-32 are based on Trident Blade
T16/T64 (9970) Graphics Processor with PCI bus and DVD
playback. With 128-bit memory bus at 143 MHz clock on PCI bus
aggregation, the performance of these multimedia accelerators are
beneficial to brings the DVD playback in real-time and the high density
video formal expression at high pixel rate up to 286 million per
second, and that is biggest unparalleled cost/performance graphics
solution for today’s desktop application.
The most payoff on Trident Blade T16/T64 (9970) is that integrates
the advanced 2D/3D Graphics engine, which capable of supporting
with DVD, video, and digital TV into a single chip solution. The
overlying combines highly evolved per pixel 3D graphics engine setup
and rendering with 2D graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration can
blend the high speed low latency access on 128-bit totally. Taking
expediency of Direct Memory Access (DMA) to retrieve textures from
main memory, textures are no longer limited by local memory.
Trident Hardware Assisted MPEG-2 Architecture (THAMA™) enables
DVD playback support to the multimedia PC. Compared to software
only DVD players, the combination of software based decode and
hardware based motion compensation delivers smooth frame rates
without overloading the processor, requires no extra frame buffer and
minimum PCI Bus bandwidth.
For maximum throughput, the Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32
are use PCI bus interface that supports at up to 1.06 GByte per second
transfer rate. Furthermore, Video-117PCI-16 & Video-117PCI-32 are
subsistence Microsoft graphics standard - DirectX 7.0 Cubic mapping,
and PC2001 compliant.

6.2 Steps:
1. Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any
peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.).
2. Disconnect the power cord and the monitor cable from the
back of the computer.
3. Unfasten the cover mounting screws on your system and
remove the system cover. Refer to your system user manual
for instructions to determine the location of the mounting
screws.
4. Remove any graphics adapter that already installed on your
motherboard. Start by removing the screw that holds the
adapter retaining bracket in place (keep this screw, you will
need it later). Then, gently pull straight up on the adapter card
itself, and remove it from the motherboard.
5. Refer to your computer system manual for the location of the
PCI bus expansion slots. Remove the retaining screw that
holds the slot cover in place. Slide the slot cover out and put
the screw aside (you will need it to secure the adapter).
If you just removed an existing graphics adapter and are not
going to use that expansion slot, you can install the slot cover
you just removed from the unused expansion slot to cover the
open hole.
6. To install the adapter in the selected expansion slot, carefully
line up the gold-fingered edge connector on the adapter
directly above the expansion slot connector on the
motherboard. Then press the adapter into place, completely,
with necessary but minimum pressure. DO NOT USE
excessive force. Use the (remaining) screw you removed to
secure the adapter retaining bracket in place.
7. Replace the computer cover. Secure the cover with the
mounting screws you removed in Step 3.
You have now completed the installation of your new graphics adapter
on your system.

8. Technical Assistance (Q & A)
Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch
display modes?
A:
Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not
synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases,
horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary.
Use the monitor control panel functions to adjust screen.
In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be
necessary. Use the utility program which provided by video card
manufacturer or production developer. To centering the display
with normal type (mode 3), and to reduce (decrease) the refresh
rate with the monitor’s specification.
Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 mode or higher
resolution mode?
A:
33
To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor
must be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate
(e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be
capable of synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG
1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).
To display 1024x768 interlaced mode, the monitor must be
capable of synchronizing a 35.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g.,
NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or 1440). To display 1024x768 noninterlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor must be capable
of synchronizing a 48.7KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC
4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).
To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor
must be capable of synchronizing a 56.4KHz scan rate (e.g., NEC
4D).
Q: Windows screen won’t come up, it kicks back to
DOS prompt. Why?
A:
The SYSTEM.INI file may contain different information with the
system hardware, cause by the new integration or the new
installation of a video adapter. The SYSTEM.INI file is located in
the WINODWS\SYSTEM directory. Use MS DOS editor to open
the file, and change the statement that is under [Boot description]
section:
display.drv= VGA then save changes, and restart Windows.
Or, Under
DOS prompt, type within Windows “SETUP” , change the display
selection to VGA then exit and restart Windows.
Windows 9x
Inadvertently, certain configuration files (e.g., msdos.sys,
command.com) have been changed in the system. Proceed to
correct that, is re-boot the system with a system (Windows 9x)
formatted floppy diskette.
There are many reasons to causing the system booting-up with
un-appropriated steps. Base on Microsoft support wizard on
34
their WEBsite, there are many technical articles to help users
with this subject, such as troubleshooting with VXD errors, virus,
Fatal exceptions, etc., more details cover on each issue are
descriptive and familiar with, and exclusively further to our support.
Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver.
A:
Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and
may require a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device
drivers and TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs will
inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at crashing
computer. The most effective way to check for conflicts is to
replace with the original video driver, or delete and re-install the
current video driver to the system.
Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings, or
troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may necessary.
Most PCI/AGP video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that means
video card IRQ’s setup which controls by main board’s (mother
board) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other devices
from system, and re-start the computer. Confirm and modify your
IRQ addresses with qualified computer technician.
Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video driver.
A:
There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted.
One common reason is a monitor mismatch. Some older multifrequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without
being turned off, then turned on again.
If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have
loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible
with the monitor being used. Try re-configuring your application
software to use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in
windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA
driver should function properly with virtually every video board and
VGA (or SVGA) monitor available.
If that is an unsatisfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to a
monitor that support the desired video mode.
Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem because
built-in DDC (Data-Digital-Channel) feature. Sometime that DDC
35
automatically setup the display frequency without loading video
driver. Try to turn it off, or change settings of monitor type in your
system.
Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination
that always back to default after restart the system.
A:
Accordingly, there must be a bug (defected source-code) in video
driver, or in the system. Debug the source-code or fix the error in
video driver, that should be done by the driver developer. Likewise,
upgrade the video driver from the manufacturer or from the original
software developer is necessary.
8.1 Tips
The following are some recommended steps to take if the video adapter
will not boot up or operate properly in your system:
1. Ensure that the monitor or TV brightness and contrast controls
are properly adjusted.
2. Check to see if your monitor or TV is properly connected to the
card. Be sure your monitor’s pin definitions match those of
your video card. For TV out, ensure that the composite signal
is connected to a “Video Input” RCA jack on the TV (or check
the S-video connection). Read the TV owner’s manual to
select the proper signal jack for the display.
3. Turn the system on and confirm that the power supply is
operating properly; i.e., that the fan operates and the system
power light turns on.
4. Check to see if the card is firmly seated in its AGP bus
expansion slot. It should not be making contact with any other
cards in the system.
Note: Turn the system off before adjusting the card.
9. Video Mode Reference Table
The adapter’s video modes include all of the following:
Note:Analog monochrome type monitors use green video for all
video input and ignore red and blue video.
10.2 Conversion Table: Pin Adapters
If you will be using a 9-to-15 pin adapter cable to link your 9 pin monitor
connector to the 15 pin accelerator card connector, check Table
carefully before you install the cable. The 9-to-15 pin adapter cables are
available from a variety of sources, but they need to match the
specifications in Table to work properly with your new card.
The adapter cable requires a D-shaped 9 pin female connector and a Dshaped 15 pin male connector.

13. Reducing Warranty Claim Rejections.
To reduce the potential of incurring damages not covered by
Manufacturers warranties, we strongly recommend the following:
• Read your manuals before installing peripherals and/or
before making changes to the machine’s configuration;
• Ask your dealer if there are any known problems with the
system requirements or installation procedures for any
add-on products that your are purchasing;
46
• Buy industry standard products where compatibility issue
are more likely to surface;
• If you are unsure about installation for a new product,
contact your dealer’s service department.
We believe it is important for you to know and understand what your
warranty coverage provides and what it does not.
We also want you to be aware that most hardware warranties only relate
to the function of the hardware. In most cases, no assurances are given
by the manufacturer that the hardware item will work in conjunction with
any other hardware item. If a computer product is not working because
it is not compatible with another product, or because it has not been
properly installed and set-up, the manufacturer does not pay for the
service time. To help avoid these inconveniences, contact a
professional consultant that one can help you determine the possibility
of incompatibility issue before you purchase add-on or accessories.
