0. Licence agreement
ATV2000 is freeware. It means it can be free distributed,
copied, burned to CD etc., but only as is in this installation
package. It cannot be distributed as part of any other
software, no part of ATV2000 can be included to other software
and cannot be distributed with TV Cards.
Also there is no responsibility for any demage of computer,
it may cause. You are running it on your own risc. There is no
official support, but i try to respond to all questions
{except the stupid ones) you send me.
Please don't report what is not completly done yet, only bugs
please (see bellow section 5).
1. Introduction
Thank you for trying ATV2000 - TV viewing application
with capture for Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP.
2. Short description
ATV2000 is based on two parts - main control panel,
which controls all TV functions - tunning, sound
control and detection and makes easy interface.
The second is video viewing and capture part. It
supports two interfaces - Video for Windows and
WDM (DirectShow) interface.
Part of is player with subtitles support, replace your
standart media player (Windows Media Player, MicroDVD ...)
Note for sheduler:
Full support for sheduling including Shutdown and Wake up
is only under WDM. VfW allows not setting video compression,
so you must enable capture mode and set compression manually.
Also Profiles are not implemented in VfW because of the same
reason, so selecting profile in ARC2000 sheduler has no effect
for VfW. Don't use Wake up with VfW !!! You can use shutdown
after capture done.
3. System requirements
AMD K6 or Intel Pentium 200MHz+, 400MHz recommended
DirectX capable graphics card, overlay support recommended
Sound card
Supported TV card
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000

Note: not all paramaters are usable in VfW due to unability to
set some capture parameters (compression]
5. Known limitations and issues
This software is still in developement, there may be some limitations
and unworking (or incorrectly) functions. I have no responsibility
for any damage of your computer or software installations,
it may cause.
Here is list of current issues:
- in preview and capture mode preview distortion occures sometimes
(switch to overlay)
- some changes in capture parameters in WDM may cause program crash,
because not all unstandart behaviour of codecs and filters may be
handled - is improved with every new version

grabber
And later: 3D sound decoding (dolby surround) via Direct3D

short WDM capture guide
PR14.6:
- fixed some bugs in creating capture graph
- fixed reconnection bug of frame grabber to video renderer when
"duplicate capture stream" is on, overlay is off and starting capture
(green-violet image and some corruptions on screen), also applied to
Special effects and Deinterlace filter (was not affected, but nice to
know, it is bug free)
PR14.5:
- added workaround for Matrox G400/450/550 problem in non-32 width
overlay size in video frame grabber (needed for correct DV preview)
- implemented mute function in GeneralWDM module
- capture from DV devices - directly to any compressor you like

doesn't support it (DivX)
- new Video Adjust filter for Brightness and Contrast, but Saturation
not implemented yet, MMX optimized (will be used in player in future)
- i have found one crash in claudfx.ax - may be PowerDVD bug not fixed ?
PR14.4:
- changing volume/brightness/contrast/saturation in channel setup
now adjusts corresponding parameters
- volume adjustment is now done by TV Card if supported (it means
has MSP34xx sound decoder with BT8x8 module)

(on some drivers)
- fixed some audio formats problems with failed connection of audio
compressor to audio capture device
- added experimental support for ALL devices with standart WDM drivers and
tuner - new plugin GeneralWDM, please write me results with different
cards (no signal detection, so don't use autoscan, also very weak, so
don't check checkbox in "test button" - this is due to microsoft
implementation of tuner interface, where is not possible to tune direct
frequency, but only channels)
- added new menu to VCR panel
- VCR panel can be now aligned to video window and can be Alway on top
- improved BT8x8 plugin - support for PV951 (tested), can set cross
frequencies for tuner and I2C bus frequency
- improved TV Card setup (plugins), new component - bevel
- added Dutch language and 29 new icons - thanx to Paul Perreijn
PR14.1:
- fixed image flipping in frame grabber when converting from RGB to YUV
mode and vice versa - it caused upside-down image when capturing in
RGB24 mode and in preview without overlay (video renderer should switch
automaticly to overlay mode, but he didn't - may be some problem with
graphics card, but my Matrox G400 as well G450 works great)
- fixed setting of video properties when selecting from Capture/Video
menu and "Duplicate capture stream" enabled
- added support for UYVY and RGB555 modes in Video frame grabber filter
- removed the Color converter from Microsoft and using my Framegrabber
instead, it supports now RGB24, RGB555, YUY2 and UYVY modes, some code
improvements (~2% faster :-)) - in future needs to optimize it for
more speed (MMX)
- added support for frame capture to BMP 16 bits in WDM
- added setting of application priority (not recommended on Windows 9x/Me)
- fixed quick start with MSP34xx sound decoder
PR14:
- WDM image capture ! - not using Microsoft's samplegrabber like
other softwares, but my own directshow filter, which is faster
and supports YUY2 and RGB24 modes for correct overlay, more modes
will come in future to replace Microsoft's color convertor while
capturing using smart tee filter for preview
- implemented "Continue on other drive if full" to capture in WDM
with alternate directories, capture also keeps selected free space
on drive and does not start capture if less then selected space
available (for VfW later)
- added option to automaticly overwrite file or autoindex
without displaying the message box
- fixed setting of AVI interleaving introduced in PR13
- fixed audio muting in WinXP introduced again in PR13
- closing video window closes panel too
- added ability to save graph in debug mode
- fixed setting debug mode to capture application if requested
from panel

TVCapture/TVPhone cards
- now priority will be to remove bugs and extend implemented features
(better filters, more formats etc.)
PR13:
- one big change: in WDM added duplicating of capture stream
for preview using smart tee filter, so while capturing
more then 288 lines (240 for NTSC) we can see preview with
BT848/878 cards
- redesigned some parts of capture interface
- updated headers to DirectX 8.1, so may be it is required
to install DirectX 8.1 (not tested)
- unlimited number of devices supported in WDM
- enumerating of devices is not done twice in WDM
- rewritten source code for connecting video compressors
and setting their parameters
- added setting of format for audio compressors
- added "Show all formats" to audio compressors, but selecting
is disabled - cannot set unmatched format, only for view of
all available formats, it must correspond to audio capture
format
- fixed retrieving of media framerate in Player
- added retrieving of audio parameters in Player
- fixed subtitles bug introduced in PR12.2 in Player
- if screen resolution changed (decreased) and the panel is
out of screen, it's position is corrected
PR12.4:
- unreleased version for testing and play only
PR12.3:
- added French and Italian languages support to teletext
- now can save all cached teletext pages to indexed files
- this is the end of currently developement of teletext for
ATV2000, now all stuff interested for me are done. I know there
is more to do (magazine, navigation, channel specific information,
VPS, more languages support and more), but it now depends on my
friend TV Zuggy, that helped me very much at the beginning (thanks),
and sure, if he is interested in. So don't write me about it, please.

text (HTML not implemented yet!) - key CTRL+S, but only to one
single file, saving to multiple files comes next
- fixed redrawing problems in teletext (added mutex synchronization
to multithreading)
- added shortcuts and menu items for rewind/forward in player
- fixed "black box" in bottom of screen in player
