Help with Performa 6300CD Tv card
Posted by: LC_575 on 2010-11-29 17:13:45
Just got my TV card in the mail. Installed it, opened Apple Video Player, and got the "please ensure that the necessary video hardware is installed correctly" message.

Double checked my installation: fine, and the card looks fine too. What am I doing wrong?

Gotta have the video card too, the one with the RCA and S-Video input. That's the card that does all of the decoding.

Great. Just Great.

Is this what I need?

Looks correct. I have a few of those that work on 68k machines.

Even though it doesn't list my P6300CD as a supporting model, the card is the same card all around and will work?

Yep, Unknown_K is right - it'll work on anything from an LC630/Performa 580 onwards. And your TV card won't work without it.
