Tv@nywhere a/d no composite video

After getting my tuner working on win7 i still get no image on my composite. I tried fiddling with brightness, hue, contrast sliders, the way i got my tv tuner working, but this isn't working for the composite channel.
My signal is fine, so if anybody can help me, it would be much appreciated.

output is my set top box from my tv provider scart => composite.
I was using a 8yo pinnacle pctv rave that was working fine until i went from win7-32 bit to 64bit. No more supporting drivers to be found. Went to my hardware vendor and they gave me this card that should work fine and was the only card with composite input available.
So the source signal stayed the same, sound is working through line-in.
And i'm using the Hyper Mediacenter that came along with the card. Updated the drivers and everything. Tuner working fine now but composite gives a grey image...

  • ?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If no, can I get 37.5mhz on display to composite video out?a composite video

    ?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If not can display be set to 37,5 hertz then my crt can accept composite video. Thanks.

    12. Can I output via Mini DisplayPort to an RCA or S-Video connection?
    No. The Mini DIsplayPort connector allows output to Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections when using the proper cables and adapters. However, output to RCA, Component, or S-Video connections is not supported.

  • Options for VGA to S video/ composite video over Mini displayport

    I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro that i want to connect to a standard def tv with s video and composite inputs. I already own the mini displaport to VGA adapter. I have found two adapters on amazon that convert VGA to s/composite video. one is $4 and is just a cable. The other is a $40 box with vga input and video output. my question is, do i need to shell out for the expensive one or will the cheap cable do just fine? i have heard NTSC out a lot while poking around. does my computer have that?
    Adapter #1 (cheap one) http://tinyurl.com/yc6topv

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello, I am first time forums user and a new mac owner.
    What I am having trouble with is a very similar thing but I have a brand new macbook pro 17 so I am pretty sure my connector is slightly different. I found this...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A
    This seems to be a connector which comes out of the mini-dvi port and has a connector for rca/svideo. I have a mini-dvi to vga that I bought with the mac and then I have an old vga to rca/s-video connector cable like the cheap option the original poster gave.
    My mac responds as it should but the tv signal is totally screwed up. I also tried hooking it to a projector using rca and that said no signal. The mini-dvi port to vga works but I am not 100% on the vgs to rca connector I haven't used it in so long. It is going to be a pain for me to test it though.
    Should this work? DO I need to mess around with refresh rates?
    Thanks

  • What adapter needed to connect to S-video or composite video on TV

    My MacBook Pro has a mini-display port and I can't seem to find an adapter that will allow output to S-video and composite video. I have the adapter that worked with the Powerbook G4 12".
    Thanks

    S-Video is limited to 720 x 480. Unless you have a standard TV (not HD-TV), or older projector, S-Video is not ideal anymore. Plus you end up with an almost unusable external display unless all you are showing is video and stills and slides.
    A mini-DisplayPort is adaptable to VGA with this adapter:
    http://store.apple.com/us/searchresult?p=MB572Z/A
    which can be adapted to S-Video fairly easily with a cable such as this one:
    http://www.eforcity.com/pothvgasvrc1.html
    A mini-DisplayPort is adaptable to DVI:
    http://store.apple.com/us/searchresult?p=MB570Z/A
    which can be adapted to component here from:
    Buy.com (I never shop here, but that's the specs).
    However, the audio will not come out of DisplayPort. For that you need a separate audio cable such as this one:
    from StarTech if you have a compatible Toslink speaker system.
    Otherwise, you can use a standard RCA minijack cable to hook up to your stereo speaker system.
    Note the only store links I shop from are Apple from above. I just found these cables on Google, and have no idea how good any of the other stores are.

  • S-Video/Composite Video via VGA with 3rd Party Adapter

    As mentioned elsewhere in these discussions, the Mini-DisplayPort on the Aluminum MacBook is different from the eartlier models. The Mini-DP adapters from Apple don't support S-Video or Composite Video, even in combination.
    I ordered and just received my Grandtec PC to Video EZ adapter. It is a bit klugey, requiring a USB connect for power but it supports Apple Mini-DP to VGA output and generates both S-Video and Composite (yellow plug) video.
    The good news is that it WORKS. A bit pricey - Apple VGA adapter was $29 and the PC to Video from Dobbs Electric was $39.99 + shipping. But, the alternative was unacceptable. It may not be HD but at least I can do my job in a variety of sites where most of the video devices are older.

    Dear Popster41,
    I found myself in the same situation you were when you posted this. Could you tell me where you found the converter you mentioned?
    I appreciate your help,

  • What is better - S-Video or Composite video?

    Hello,
    I think I heard that S-Video is better than Composite video. Is this right?
    Thank you!

    S video is usually better than composite. Check this for more info on the differences.

  • [T420] VGA to S-video or composite video

    I want to connect a T420 to an older TV.  Can I use this VGA to s-video/composite adapter?  The website says:
    "Your  video card MUST be able to support s-Video or Composite out through it's VGA port. This is known as a TV out function. If you don't know if your video card can do this, then call the card manufacturer and ask them "Does my video card support S-Video or Composite Video out through its VGA port?""
    So, does the video card in the T420 (Intel HD 3000) support S-Video or Composite Video out (more importantly composite video) through its VGA port?
    W520 i7-2720QM | 32 GB RAM 1333 MHz | FHD 1920x1080 | Quadro 1000M | Windows 7 & Ubuntu 14.04
    Crucial M500 480GB mSATA + 2 x 1 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm | BIOS 1.38

    Hi biznatch!
    The T420 does not support s-Video or Composite out through it's VGA port. You need an active VGA converter box.
    Hope this helps!

  • After updating ipad 2 to IOS 5.1 composite video cable says "this accessory is not supported by iPad"

    Now that I have updated my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to 5.1, when I connect my composite video cable to watch netflix or other video on my TV I get the message that the accessory is not supported.  The audio goes through fine, but the video only plays on the device.  Anyone else run into this?  Ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Even worst, I use my iPod touch at the gym cause our bikes and threadmills have iPod connection (and screen of course) so I used watch TV shows from my iPad. Last week, thought the treadmill connector on the machine was broken... from what I see, it's the TV out on the iPad that is not working anymore.
    Once home, I used my composite cable, well just like you got a message : "not supported" tried on iPad and Ipod Touch.
    THANKS APPLE WITH YOUR STUPID UPDATES!!!!
    But now seems your Video cables won't be selling much if not working hey?
    And reboot has no effect, don't waste your time.

  • Composite video out on tx2520ej

    I've got an HP tx2520ej laptop with Radeon HD3200 chipset and s-video out. I want to connect it to the TV by using a composite video signal. Can i get composite signal from the s-video out port like shown on this pic, or the mobility radeon chipsets does not support this option?

    This is automatically handled by the aur package acpi-eeepc-generic. If OP does not have that one installed, I suggest he/she tries installing and configuring this package first. Fn+F5 should automagically toggle the external monitor.

  • Composite video out.  Why can't I sync some movies? What's the best res?

    I'm guessing because I ripped some movies in a higher definition for use with the iPad and iPhone 4 I cannot add those movies to my iPod Classic 80GB.
    Is there a good compromise in quality so I don't have to perform multiple rips? Better yet, is there a way I can add HiDef video to the iPod and play via the Apple Composite Video connector?
    Given the relatively small storage space on the iPad and iPhone when compared to a iPod Classic it makes sense that the iPod would be a better storage and transport method for larger video files.
    Thanks in advance.

    FIXED IT. For those of you who may be having the same problem, this is what I eventually had to do.
    1. erase my entire ipod
    2. put it all back on there
    That seems simple but it also seems pointless. I do not know why I had to do this because I had already downlodaded the newest version of itunes, put everything on the cloud, and then downloaded everything back off of the cloud.
    But for some reason I had to go in and
    1. put things from cloud back into library
    2. erase ipod (which had already had cloud info put back on it)
    3. transfer all library data straight from library to ipod (without use of cloud this time)
    For some reason this made my video show up on my ipod and not just my itunes.

  • Composite video out to TV

    This may be a question easily answered but I don't pretend to have any knowledge in this area.
    With my G5 iMac can I get a composite video out to plug it into my 42" Sony HDTV and if I did what sort of quality would it be? As in would it be High Definition and wide screen?
    Any helpful advice? Thanks!

    Composite is generally the worst video-output you can get.
    Quality is about that of a good S-VHS recorder, with colours that bleed over into eachother at the edges. Magnified on a 42" TV, this wouldn't look good, with red bleeding a lot and shimmers across bright colours.
    It's better to use the S-VHS-output that's, I believe, also on the video-out adapter that Apple sells.
    Some HDTV-capable TVs come with a VGA-input. If yours does too, you'd be better off buying the VGA-adapter instead. This will give you a higher resolution than possible with the Video-out adapter and no (or unnoticably little) colour bleed. The VGA-adapter is capable of supplying atleast 720p HDTV-images, but not in widescreen.
    Currently, Apple has no HDTV-capable output system, although the Mac's videochip itself is capable of outputting it.

  • Composite video cable doesn't work...

    I have a video composite cable (one of those cables which have three heads, red, white and and yellow, on one end, and a single head, like a headphone cable, with three "rings" on the other) for my video camera, and I tried it with my iPod and my TV. It doesn't work. It works when playing music (with a little "hissing", so I guess after all it doesn't "quite work"), but it doesn't for video. When I switch off the TV out of my iPod and play video, the TV's got the sound and the iPod's got the image. I tried that cable with some other stuff too, like my digital camera and it works. I thought all those composite video cables are the same; I thought all video composite cables work for iPod but apparently it isn't the truth, because if it is, my cable would've worked. So what's wrong? Is it my cable? Or worse, my iPod?

    As noted above, you need to switch the outputs.
    Apple did this so you can use regular headphones with the iPod.
    If you plug standard headphones into a video camera, it will not work correctly because the video camera jack is wired differently than the headphones.

  • Macbook to composite video

    I know that I can buy a mini-displayport to VGA adapter from apple, plus a VGA to composite video cable from somewhere else in order to connect my macbook to my normal non-hd tv. However, on amazon the only VGA to composite video cables I can find are RGB. Can these red, green and blue cables work the same as the yellow, red and white? I would guess that they can't, but I'm not sure.

    The colour of the plastic on the outside of the cable makes no difference to how it works.
    If it is a VGA to Composite then that is what it does.
    Make sure it is NOT a VGA to component.
