Summary: A Good Vi/Vo Card
Review: Here's what you get in the box: *The PCI Xclaim VR 128 Card *A Purple Video Breakout Box (about 6x3x1") *Proprietary S-Video Cable (goes to Break Out Box, for power) *F DB15 --> M HD15 Adaptor (For Old Mac Displays)This is an all around good card. I have this card installed in my G4/400 withy no problems. I have my second display hooked up to it, which I occationally watch TV on (through the Coax. Connector on the Break Out Box). Video capture is perfect for very small video snippets (under 30sec), but if you try to capture an entire music video, for instance, the sound will get out of sync with the video. I have found no way to correct this. Might have something to do with the compression, but I've tried many different settings. Unreal Tournament runs acceptably well. BUT, if you are buying this card so you can play 3D Shooters on your nice, big TV, think again. This card outputs Video in 3D in ONLY GRAYSCALE. Just imagine how hard it is trying to figure out who is on your team in Quake3Fortress or Unreal Tournament when you can't see red or blue! This doesn't happen on a normal CRT Monitor though. This card only outputs Video in Composite/Component Video, no Coax. Output. But there is Coax. Input. This Card works wonderfully outputting DVD Movies to a TV. All I have to do is Pop a DVD into my G4, Open ATI Displays, and select 'Mac2TV' (outputs the the contents of the card's display to the Video Out), then the desktop shows up on the TV, then I hit Play, full screen. Ohhh, Ahhhh. If your thinking about watching DVDs this way, definetly buy come Audio cables to connect your Computer to your Home Stereo. Radio Shack has everything you need. The Thicker the better. :) A Good Card, but could use a driver update of some kind to fix the small issues. 4-5stars

Summary: Simply Amazing
Review: I installed this card in my G3. Wow, when you add an Xclaim VR 128 to your computer, you get what you always wanted in a computer. A fully functioning system, 2D, 3D(for games), the ability to record what is playing on your Mac to a VCR or display on the monitor and TV at the same time and did I mention record video or still shots from your camcorder. I am having an absolute blast with my kids. Buy this and you will too!
