Default 7950 VIVO ?

Just bought a Point Of View 7950 and it came with a VIVO adapter but it
doesn't seem very clear whether the card actually supports an input so
is the adapter just provided for an additional output ?

Tried installing the WDM drivers anyway but it says it can't start that
item in device manager.

Is input supported ?

I have no idea. I do not have one of these beasts. Do you not have any
specs on the VIVO port ?

IMPORTANT:-

On a related subject, check that your motherboard BIOS is updated
to support the 7950. Otherwise only one board of the board-pair
may be recognized by the system.

Nope, the POV manual is a generic one with a 7950 GX2 sticker put on it.
Can anyone at POV say 'rush job' ? Reading the outer box does only
mention about viewing photos on your TV, nothing about being able to
input video.

Made sure about that and got an ASUS A8N32 Deluxe. Mind you because I
installed XP 64bit and Nvidia drivers (91.31) before flashing with the
latest BIOS I did have to manually change to multi gpu support afterwards.

If it doesn't do Video In then it's not VIVO (Video In, Video Out).
