ATI’s Eazyshare Converts PCs to Video Servers

[zybch]

So you can't actually use the feature if you don't have cards actually built by ATI right?

Perhaps its a sales strategy to boost sales of their own expensive cards instead of just ones that use an ATI chip.

I don't think non-BBA AIW's exist (except for Sappihire, but they don't count :p).

Kinda odd that it is mentioned if all AIW's are either BBA or Saphire since Saphire makes a good deal of cards for ATI. I never really looked into the AIW's, so I'm just going by what was said above. What is the difference that makes Saphire's unable to use it other than just possible tagline search in the bios for BBA or something.

It says "Any networked PC with a “Built By ATI” RADEON card can display TV " not that it has to be an AIW, just the server does. :cool:

Maybe it's a bios thing or some other inclusion they made... somebody will figure it out :D

When I said "Don't Count" I mean Sapphire makes the cards for ATI (rather than a "true" OEM maker like ASUS or Visiontek who makes their cards seperate from ATI). A Sappire AIW will probably run this Eazyshare (or if not there will be a simple BIOS hack to make it work).

Hey good luck getting Eazyshare to run..I've got 6 computers on a 100Mbps network, all using AIW Radeon cards Built by ATI, all with Catalyst 3.10 and Media Center 8.8. One is installed as Eazyshare server and the rest as clients.

The server sees the cliens on the network and allows me to click on them to enable them.

The clients all show nothing for a broadcaster/server and do not find one when I click "scan the network"

I've went through the help files, went through configurations, tried with TV running and without. I've reset network shares, I've reinstalled the Catalyst and Media software..Rebooted many times.

I am totally at a loss as to why it doesn't work.
