Catalyst 5.13: ATI's Video Domination?
thomas997
"ATI considers Catalyst 5.13 as the first driver that unlocks the AVIVO technology present in the Radeon X1800" Anyone know if this driver affects any other cards at all?

The Catalyst 5.13 just enables the hardware Avivoâ„¢ Video and Display Platform on x1300/x1600/x1800 card. High performance programmable video processor Accelerated MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, WMV9, VC-1, and H.264 decoding and transcoding DXVA support De-blocking and noise reduction filtering Motion compensation, IDCT, DCT and color space conversion Vector adaptive per-pixel de-interlacing 3:2 pulldown (frame rate conversion) Seamless integration of pixel shaders with video in real time HDR tone mapping acceleration Maps any input format to 10 bit per channel output Flexible display support Dual integrated DVI transmitters (one dual-link + one single-link) DVI 1.0 compliant / HDMI interoperable and HDCP ready Dual integrated 10 bit per channel 400 MHz DACs 16 bit per channel floating point HDR and 10 bit per channel DVI output Programmable piecewise linear gamma correction, color correction, and color space conversion (10 bits per color) Complete, independent color controls and video overlays for each display High quality pre- and post-scaling engines, with underscan support for all outputs Content-adaptive de-flicker filtering for interlaced displays Xilleonâ„¢ TV encoder for high quality analog output YPrPb component output for direct drive of HDTV displays* Spatial/temporal dithering enables 10-bit color quality on 8-bit and 6-bit displays Fast, glitch-free mode switching VGA mode support on all outputs Drive two displays simultaneously with independent resolutions and refresh rates Compatible with ATI TV/Video encoder products, including Theater 550 **** The software does not do improve video quality; it is the hardware video processor that does it, if you happen to own one of the aforementioned chipsets on your video card.
