Blurry Text When Using Video out With FX 5900U

I just got a MSI Geforce FX5900Ultra VTD256, and i was trying to play games on my TV.  I used the S-Video to video (the yellow Cable) adapter and when im in the desktop, all the text is real blurry, i cant even read it.  I tried lowering the resolution to see if that would make it easyer to read, but it didnt work.  Can someone please help.  Maybe the is somthing wronge with me TV???

Hi,
TV sets have lower resolution and bandwidth than PC monitors - the two are sort of related, but are not quite the same thing.
Resolution is often measured in "lines", meaning the number of individual vertical lines that could be displayed across the width of the TV and still be distinguishable as individual lines. A figure of 800 lines was considered pretty good, and could usually only be achieved in a TV studio, from a camera direct to a monitor. So 800 pixels is about as much as a TV (especially a smaller one) can reasonably display. (The vertical resolution depends on the TV standard, and is about 600 lines or pixels for PAL, and about 500 for NTSC)
The other factor is Bandwidth, which is measured in Megahertz (MHz). Basically, the finer the (horizontal) detail, the more bandwidth you need in the path between the source and the picture tube to display it faithfully. Broadcast TV is deliberately limited to about 5MHz, whereas a computer monitor will have several tens of MHz of bandwidth.
Also, the chrominance (colour) component of a composite or S-Video signal is limited to less than 2 MHz, so fine colour detail will be worse off (Black on white or vice-versa will give best results).
Anyway, the practical outcome of all this is that the highest resolution you can use for TV out is 800x600, and even then you need to use larger fonts (so the vertical lines are thicker, and there are a reasonable number of horizontal lines in a character).  The maximum number of characters per line should be less than 60-80.
There are some scan-converters available which use fancy techniques to render a reasonable image at higher resolutions, but they are fairly expensive.
S-Video should give better results than composite, but you will still be up against bandwidth and resolution limits
Cheers

  • No Audio When using Video Out to Firewire

    I do not get any audio when I use Firewire ntsc as my video out. When I set video out to canvas playback then I get audio. I want to use print to video but I cannot because the audio will not work with Firewire. I get the image on my external monitor but not the audio. I checked to make sure and the audio was not on the recorded dvd. I cannot not use print to video with canvas playback.
    My Easy Setup is Format: NTSC, Use DV NTSC DV Converter. I tried using Firewire basic and got the same results.
    Please Help
    Ken

    The audio does not play at all from the timeline if video out is set to Firewire. To answer your question, no the audio does not play in the external monitor when playing back from the timeline when Canvas is used as the video out. However, I don't believe the converter box is the problem. The audio would play in the internal speakers when using firewire as video out but it does not.

  • No Sound when using Digital out with Mac Mini

    The Digital out on my mac mini has become seriously unreliable. The sound slider is all the way up but locked, no movement is possible. The Toslink cable shows light, and when plugged into another device the amplifier receives sound.
    This is an intermittent problem, for awhile rebooting would make the sound come back, however this has stopped working.
    unplug the toslink and the built in speaker plays fine. Sound slider becomes movable.
    If you sent the sound slider to 50% then plug the toslink back in it jumps to 100% and all controls ar grayed out and 0 sound.
    any troubleshooting tips would be most appreciated as this is my primary audio video device.

    Not likely. Think about this: The output is simply a digital stream of bits. Volume does not apply to digital bits... The first place where you can adjust volume will be in an outboard DAC, a preamp or an integrated receiver.
    For a great DAC, check out ps audio "digital link III", retails currently for around $695, B stock may be avail for around 550. There is a cheaper quality DAC available from Cambridge Audio "Digital Magic", but it is not in the same league as the PS Audio or other higher cost DACs (such as Benchmark Media's DAC1).
    For a fantastic audio system that takes digital audio from a Mac Mini, I have a PS Audio DL III taking Toslink from the Mini and feeding RCA analog into a Zpre from Parasound with a couple of Zamp (zone amps) from Parasound going into very nice bookshelf speakers and in ceiling speakers.
    The volume is controlled by the Zpre amp ...As it must be

  • HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

    when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?  My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not.  Any suggestions?

    Hello Nina Izurin,
    While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Using Video Out Distorts Desktop Icons

    When I use my video out, the icons on my desktop get moved around. I understand why this happens when the resolution changes to send video out, but why don't the icons restore back to their original locations once I disconnect the video out? Is there a way to prevent the icons moving or to get the computer to restore them automatically? It's such a pain that I avoid using video out even though I could get a lot of use out of it. Any suggestions short of removing all the icons from my desktop? Thanks.

    In Finder, View/Show View Options
    Is 'Snap to Grid' or 'Keep arranged by' checked ?

  • Possible to charge iPod while using Video out option?

    I've read that you can use video out while maintaining its charge by simply 'ejecting' the iPod from Windows (but maintaining the physical cable connection).
    But what about using a generic wall charger? Such as this one:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009T81YE/qid=1146811575/sr=8-1/ref=pdbbs1/103-4014541-7815810?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=301185
    Or even using apple's official wall charger? With one of these pieces of equipment is the iPod locked in "do not disconnect" mode? Or is it free to be used?
    I hope someone can get back to me soon! Thanx
      Windows XP Pro  

    using the wall charger does not put up the "do not disconnect" screen. thats only wen its connected to a computer. so yes u can keep ur ipod on charge while using the video out.

  • WHY THE IPHONE GETTING HOT WHEN USING 3G PLUS WITH DATa?, WHY THE IPHONE GETTING HOT WHEN USING 3G PLUS WITH DATA?

    why my iphone 4s getting hot when using 3g plus with data?

    It is normal for the phone to get hot when your using data such as YouTube videos, streaming music etc.. And as for the left speaker not working, the left speaker is a microphone, the right one is for sound. Don't worry, everything your iPhone is doing is normal.

  • Strange behaviour when using connection pooling with proxy authentication

    All
    I have developed an ASP.NET 1.1 Web application that uses ODP.NET 9.2.0.4 accessing Oracle Database 8i (which is to be upgraded to 10g in the coming months). I have enabled connection pooling and implemented proxy authentication.
    I am observing a strange behaviour in the live environment. If two users (User 1 and User 2) are executing SQL statements at the same time (concurrent threads in IIS), the following is occurring:
    * User 1 opens a new connection, executes a SELECT statement, and closes this connection. The audit log, which uses the USER function, shows User 1 executed this statement.
    * User 2 opens the same connection (before it is released to the connection pool?), excutes an INSERT statement, and closes this connection. The audit log shows User 1, not User 2, executed this statement.
    Is this a known issue when using connection pooling with proxy authentication? I appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    I tried to reproduce your complaint, but was unable to. I didnt use auditting however, just a series of "select user from dual" with proxy authentication. You might want to see if you can put together a small complete testcase for this and open a sr with support.
