Assigning Video Card Heads

The following menu options can be found under Options -> Video/CD+G -> Video Card Overlay Output -> Assigned Head. You should select which video card head will be used to display the Video/CD+G output of OtsAV, usually the 2nd head or TV output.

Tip: The Options -> Video/CD+G menu can also be accessed by right-clicking your mouse on the middle video display (when visible). This is the suggested method, as it is the quickest way to access the Video/CD+G features.
