windowing P3 display...

[John Ragle]

For those of you who do not wish to devote an entire monitor to the P3
SVGA output, here are some final results of my testing:

1. Running WIN7 ultimate (32) on an older DELL dual core 3 GHz machine...
2. Running K3, P3, FLDIGI, FLRIG connected to this machine and working
satisfactorily...
3. Running AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD (short PCIx slot) (aka
AVerMedia C127 PCIe Capture Device) on this machine...
4. SVGA output of P3 connected to (S)VGA input of AVerMedia card...
5. Running a 24" and a 21" monitor off an NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT display
card in this machine...

The P3 output displays properly and without noticeable delay IN A
RESIZEABLE WINDOW on either monitor, while FLDIGI and FLRIG run
peacefully on the two monitors. Other windows also display on these
monitors, and can be given focus if needed (e.g. email, DX Sherlock, etc.)

The frame grabber card sells for <$150 on Amazon.com and is probably
available cheaper if one shops around.

I will send a couple of screen shots off reflector to whomever wants to
view them.
