[mythtv-users] MythTV output to HDMI IN

[moogie]

------------About my MythTV box:

Dell PowerEdge SC420
The problem is that it comes with an embedded 8Mb
video port. See the blue connector in this rear view:

So I need a better video card for this Dell box.

This is what the motherboard looks like:

There are 3 PCI slots:
Three 5-V, half-length, 32-bit, 33-MHz (slots 2
through 4)

There are 2 PCIe (PCI Express) slots:
2.5-GHz PCI Express x8, 3.3-V, 12-V (slot 1)
2.5-GHz PCI Express x1, 3.3-V, 12-V (slot 5)

For more details see:

NOTE: NO AGP slots.



------------About my big screen TV:

I would like to connect the MythTV box to my
Sony KDF60WF655 LCD Rear Projection HDTV.

Here are a few quotes from the Sony KDF60WF655 product
manual that are related to such connectivity.

...
"HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) Provides
an
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface
between
this TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video component,
such
as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI
supports enhanced, or high-definition video, plus
multi-channel digital audio."
...
"The HDMI jack provides both video and audio signals,
so it is not necessary to connect the audio cable."
...
"HDMI IN Video = 108oi, 720p, 480p, 480i
HDMI IN Audio = Two channel linear PCM 32, 44.1 and 48
kHz, 16, 20 and 24-bit"

The HDMI IN port looks like this:

The complete rear view of the Sony KDF60WF655:

So I assume I need a PCI card with a port that I can
connect it to the HDMI jack on my Sony KDF60WF655? 
Correct?

Which PCI cards would be applicable here?
I am looking for suggestions.
