specific inquiry about targa 2000 pci cards
Posted by: chelseayr on 2020-10-31 06:02:25
I realize not many people would have these cards around but I had to still try ask this so I would know what I would had dealt with if looking around myself that is;

is it the one same base card between the several various model variations, its only the one or two daughter cards on it that makes up the differences?

You have the base Targa 2000 model, then the Pro model which is the same but the CA/V module is replaced with one that allows component video capture. Then you have the RTX and DTX models where you can swap RDX and DTX modules to go from one to the other.

unknown_k so if I understand that right I couldn't refit the base card (svideo input) to accept rgb input with 4:4:4 sampling? thanks for writing so far nevertheless

The base card is upgradable to the pro (no idea where you would find the module these days).

RGB is component video. sampling structure is 4:2:2
