Note: ATI All-in-Wonder™ boards operate with AMD’s Windows
Vista ready display and capture drivers under the Windows Vista operat-
ing system. However, the Windows Vista Media Center application does
not support TV/Capture functionality provided by the ATI All-in-Won-
der™. TV/Capture functionality is qualified to function with Snap-
stream’s BeyondTV 4.6 for Windows Vista. Other third party solutions
(such as Arcsoft’s Total Media 3) may support TV/Capture with the ATI
All-in-Wonder™, but these applications have not been fully tested by
AMD.
