Power Macintosh AV: Displaying PAL Video at 768 x 576 (2/95)


When using a Power Macintosh AV with PAL video output, I can't select the PAL standard resolution of 768 x 576. I can only select the 640 x 480 resolution. With this resolution selected, a black border is visible around the screen image.

We have many customers with this problem. Do you have any suggestions?

When outputting a Power Macintosh AV's screen as a PAL video signal, the 768 x 576 screen resolution may not be visible in the Monitors control panel.

To set the Power Macintosh AV card to this resolution, try these steps:

- Open the Monitors control panel
- Click on the Options button
- Check the Display Video on Television button
- Select PAL video
- Select Upon Restart Display Video on Television
- Restart the Power Macintosh

The Power Macintosh AV system should display the 768 x 576 resolution on the PAL monitor after restarting the computer. After restarting, you may want to reopen the Monitors control panel to adjust your video settings.
