TV Out Support 3 SMOOTHVISION™ HD is an antialiasing solution that raises the bar for image quality using programmable multi-sampling methods to postprocess graphics before they are displayed. SMARTSHADER™ HD is a technology that allows specialized high precision graphic programs to be run on the RADEON® X1900 G5 MAC EDITION VPU rather than the system processor. Developers can easily create amazing new graphics effects while maintaining a high level of performance. HYPER Z™ HD makes Z-buffer bandwidth usage more efficient by decreasing the amount of information sent to the frame buffer at higher resolutions than ever before. RADEON® X1900 G5 MAC EDITION only displays 3D graphics in thousands and millions of colors. When you set your display to 256 colors, this will affect Finder™, OpenGL®, Quartz® Extreme, and QuickTime® acceleration. TV Out Support The RADEON® X1900 G5 MAC EDITION supports TV Out by using the optional Apple® DVI-to-Video adapter or the supplied Video-Out dongle.
