Video Output

[markstaylor]

Is it possiable to have the video output of AMS sent to a line source, such as a Receiver video in. (Not using a monitor, maybe directly out the video card)

Also Can AMS send output to two different sound cards at the same time. (can you even have two sound cards in a pc?)


Thanks

I might be wrong but I think the video routing availability will be contingent on the host machine. For example any machine which has the ability to toggle between video outputs probably comes with a command line tool which can be accessed from an AMS project. I'm no video guy though.

As to the sound, again this is in the host machine's configuration. It's possible to run more than one sound card on a PC but not at the same time, i.e. only one card would be generating signal at any given time. There's no way to alternate "on the fly" I doubt. That being said, the audio channels in AMS offer a great way to layer or seperate audio tracks...

Anyhow the key answer here is that it would be dependent on the host machine and for AMS to control stuff like that it would be through a video/sound card's manufacturer's tool as opposed to native functionality.
