Using NTSC Hauppage Card for PAL
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2017 10:21 pm
Hi Everyone,
A real "newbie" to ATV here. I've been on air for about 2 weeks.
A question I've tried to find the answer for on this forum and maybe I've missed the answer or it's not there.
If I want to buy a spare Hauppage WinTV card now while they are still around on auction sites etc, can I buy the US or Canadian NTSC tuner version and use it in Australia where everything is PAL?
Obviously I don't use the card's tuner anyway, I'll just be using the S-Video input, and just want to make sure it will work if I feed a PAL video input into the card?
There's a lot of 2nd hand NTSC cards on line but can't find any PAL ones. Is the card the same and it's just the tuner that's NTSC or PAL?
Sorry if it's been answered before but I couldn't find the answer.
