Composite to tv no video?

When I connect my iphone to a digital TV using the composit AV cable. I get audio by no video. The tech sheet says "Make sure you set your IPhone to send a video signal out to your TV, see user guide for your IPhone.
I've looked in the guide but have not been able to locate this info. How do I get the video to play?

RGB, Composite, Firewire and S-video capture device for FCP

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could suggest some of the better capture cards that support RGB composite, firewire and s-video inputs that will work with FCP.
The set up is on Mac Pro and the device needs to be as reliable and noise free as possible as it will be used for the capturing of video for evidence in court cases.
Any help is this area would be very grateful,
Regards,
Martin.

Hello,
I have no experience with the AJA product line but I know that many of the folks here have used them. They make a good line of cards that will do what you are asking for. They don't have firewire on the cards, but the computer you are using should have one I would assume.
Since you said 'S-Video' my thoughts are that you are only using SD? If that is going to be the case for a long time then look at this card:
http://www.aja.com/products/kona/kona-lse-ls.php
It has composite and S-Video inputs. IF there is the chance that you are going to be doing HD and IF it is still tape based, then look at one of the higher models. But again, that is if you are going to be upgrading to HD sometime soon.
Hope this helps.

HT1665 Composite AV Cable no video

Hooked iPad and tv together with composite AV cable have audio but not video.what is wrong?

Only vga ang hdmi support mirror composite is way too low res to do mirror so its not supported
It will only display video from the apps which support the old tv features like apples video and photo apps

S-Video or Composite from newest MBP

I thought there was a mini-display to Composite (yellow) and S-video adapter, so I can show my MacBook on my non-HD (no HDMI or DVI) TV. My friend has one, I was pretty sure was mini-dvi (vs mini VGA).
Is there one? The one I'm thinking of was actually made by Apple...

There is no mini-Displayport-to-composite/S-video adapter. That requires an external conversion box like this...
http://www.amazon.com/PC-To-TV-Video-Converter/dp/B001CJOLBW/ref=pdcp_e2
...plus a mini-Displayport-to-VGA adapter:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=5107&seq=1&format=2
This adapter is $10 cheaper than Apple's.

Composite and S-video

Does the 2009 mini support composite and/or s-video. If so, which cable would work best?

And no thnks to APPL for this terrible decision, worse for not making it clear up front!
It clearly states in the product description on their website what video options it supports.
We are now in the HDTV age so it is understandable that apple are not supporting legacy devices.
The same thing happened when apple stopped using their proprietary monitor connections and then again when they no longer supported ADC connections.
Technology moves forward all the time it a fact of tech life but unfortunately although this suits the majority there will always be a few that are disappointed.

Switch to a different video in a composition

In a composition with a DV video, how can I change the video to a different one? I have keylight settings and other settings that I don't want to do it over again with another video. I can't find a way to save keylight setting either.
Thanks for the help,

what do you mean by "video?"
Duplicate the composition.
Delete and then replace the layer you no longer need.
You can save the filter settings as a preset, look it up in the manual.
Save an animation preset

Qosmio F30-140: How to make composite-in or video-in feature working

Hi,
I was using windows XP MC version, but now I switched to windows 7 64-bit version and I don't know how to make the composite-in or the video-in feature work.
Does win-7 driver support this feature! or I need to use a certain software to make use of it?!
Another thing I'm missing in this new windows version is the Dolby effects equalizer.
Could any body tell me how to add this option to my sound card device or send me a driver that has this option.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
As far as I know there is not full Win 7 support for F30 Qosmio.
I found some Win 7 32bit drivers on the driver page but there are no 64bit drivers.
There are Vista 64bit drivers check it!
The Sigma sound driver has been released for Windows Vista 64 Bit. Try it!
The composite-in or video-in port can be used in order to receive video signals from some external devices. For example you can connect a Xbox to the F30 and can use it in connection with Windows Media Center.

You can also conenct an camcorder or similar devices.

FMLE Bug: Encoder changes video input from Composite to SVHS

I have a video signal on the Composite input of my video card and I am encoding using FMLECmd.exe
The problem is that when I change the video input to "Composite" using the Video Device's Property Pages,
FMLECmd.exe sets it back to SVideo again after it stops encoding.
So, before each encode I need to bring up the Property Pages go and change the input to "Composite" again.
How can I work around this FMLECmd bug, any ideas?
Thanks.

FMLE saves Advance Device Property settings in profile file. When you change Input type to Comosite, make sure that you save a profile for that setting.
Next time when you start FMLECmd, start it with saved profile and it should work with Compsite input this time.
What you were doing is probably not closing FMLE after making changes in Device property page due to which settings are not getting saved in startup.xml profile and next time when FMLECmd starts with startup.xml by default it was loading prevoius settings having SVideo input.
So try closing FMLE GUI after changing device property page and then start FMLECmd with stratup.xml file or save these settings in some other proifle file and start FMLECmd with saved profile file
Let me know if this works for you?

Iphone4 video output via composite av cable

Hi, this questions probably been asked loads of times but I haven't found an answer , hence , can someone please tell me how to switch on video out on iPhone 4 on 5.1 , I bought composite cable but no video just audio . Can any1 out there help. Thank you

iphone4 and composite and component cable don't support mirror so they
only display images when an supported app is being used like youtube or the video app and the likes
use both the composite and the component cable with my iphone4 on 5.1 and both works fine
so do my ipod touch with 5.1 and ipad2 with 5.1

Why does my new Composite AV cable shows no video using my 4s?

My new AV composite cable shows no video when I plug it in to my projector using my 4s?

A Reset often sorts out problems but since you have already restored it I would be inclined to make an ppointment with Apple with a view to 'a fix' or a replacement. if the Apple store is not convenienly located, and you are still within the 90 day free technical support, I would start by contacting them.
[Reset - Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter and Mac mini (2009)

Can anyone tell me whether the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter listed here:
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/M9319G/A
works with the latest Mac mini (early 2009)?
If it does not what other solutions are there to connect to composite, component or s-video?

KC from Ann Arbor, MI had this to say as a review on the page to which you have linked;
10-May-2009
I bought a Mac Mini (May 2009) and this Mini-DVI to Video adapter with plans to use it to send an S-video signal to an analog TV. Though the sales staff at the Apple store said it should work, it does not. The graphics card apparently should support it, and it may be addressed with a future driver update, but as of now this does not work. I have used a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and monitor to verify that the port is working, and also verified that the S-video cable and TV input work. There are third party VGA to S-video/RCA adapters available so I plan to use one of those for my purposes. This is probably a 5-star product when used with the right Mac; however, Apple should have made it clear that having a mini-DVI port on your Mac is necessary but not sufficient for this to work - hence the 3 stars.

DVI to Video Adapter with NVIDIA 8800 GT not working

Hi all. I have the new Mac Pro Octo (mar '08) with the NVIDIA GFORCE 8800 GT card. I cannot find anywhere what may be wrong. Only on the Apple Website for the adapter that the only Mac Pro it works with is the Mac Pro (with ATI X1900 XT). However, both tech support and Apple's Store staff said this would work, prior to buying it. Well, my computer does not recognize the TV monitor hooked up via S-Video. I've powered everything down, restarted, unplugged and replugged in both orders, and switched inputs on the TV and receiver both. Nothing.
Any one know if this does or does not work with this computer???
Thanks.

Never mind. Found this out via Apples own website. Thanks APPLE TECH SUPPORT and STORE STAFF for getting me to buy a useless cable!
Mac Pro Computers (January 2008)
The Mac Pro computers with Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 Series microprocessors were introduced in January 2008. The Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem interfaces to the North Bridge via a 16-lane PCIe 2.0 bus. For information on the PCI Express graphics support and expansion, refer to PCI Developer Note.
The following sections describe the Mac Pro’s graphics subsystem.
Graphics Cards
Supported graphics cards have dual-link DVI connectors, supporting 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays on both ports.
For information on video memory, power, and features refer to Table 1.
All of the supported graphics cards support dual displays in either extended desktop or video mirroring mode; for more detail, see “External Display Modes.”
Table 1 Supported Graphics Cards

110 W
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 (configure to order)
1536 MB (GDDR3)
175 W
The GeForce 8800GT graphics card requires that a booster cable be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. The Quadro FX 5600 graphics card requires two booster cables be connected from the PCI slot to the auxiliary power connector. For additional information, refer to the PCI Developer Note.
The Mac Pro supports the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display at a resolution of 1680 x 1050, the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 1920 x 1200, and the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display at a resolution of 2560 x 1600. All ports support a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 at 32-bit with 85 Hz refresh rate. Multiple PCI Express graphics cards can support three or more displays.

For information on video ports, see “Video Monitor Ports.” For information on PCI Express expansion slots, refer to PCI Developer Note.
Video Monitor Ports
The Mac Pro has a DVI connector for an external video monitor. For a description of the DVI connector, refer to Figure 4 and Table 30.
The graphics data sent to the digital monitor use transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS). TMDS uses an encoding algorithm to convert bytes of graphics data into characters that are transition-minimized to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) with copper cables and DC balanced for transmission over fiber optic cables. The TMDS algorithm also provides robust clock recovery for greater skew tolerance with longer cables or low-cost short cables.
Note: The Mac Pro computer includes a DVI to VGA Adapter.
DVI to Video Adapter
The Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card supports an optional DVI to S-video/composite adapter that provides S-video and composite output to a PAL or NTSC video monitor or VCR. When a display is connected by way of the video adapter, the computer detects the type of adapter and enables the composite and S-video outputs. The settings for the resolutions and standards (NTSC or PAL) are then selectable in the Display pane in System Preferences.
Note: The DVI to Video Adapter does not come packaged with the Mac Pro computer and must be purchased separately.
The video output connector is a 7-pin S-video connector. Figure 5 shows the arrangement of the pins and Table 31 shows the pin assignments on the composite out and S-video connector.
The Mac Pro computer provides video output at picture sizes and frame rates compatible with the NTSC and PAL standards; the picture sizes are listed in Table 32. Those picture sizes produce under-scanned displays on standard monitors.

Mini-Dvi-to-Video trouble

I just bought a mini-dvi-to-video adapter so I could use my TV as a display. More specifically, so I could use my VCR to record what's on my Mac's display. I also bought a headphone-to-composite cable adapter. I'm using a double-headed (is that one male or female? It's male, isn't it?) composite cable from the video adapter to the VCR. The problem is, it doesn't show up. The sound plays (and records) fine, but the video neither shows up on the TV screen nor records onto the tape. What's the problem? Both adapters are Dynex, my computer's a Late 2006 iMac (I think), the cable is WireLogic, and both the VCR and TV are Sony. Please help, thanks.

So if you eliminate the double headed splitter and plug straight into the TV, does the video still not show up?
FYI, there have been reports in the past of trouble with the Dynex video adapter. You may need to purchase the Apple OEM one. The Dynex may lack having a ROM inside of it with a proper EDID in the ROM. This is crucial to the Mac.

Apple DVI to Video Adapter

Hello all,
I recently purchased this Samsung TV which I would like to hook up to my computer to watch videos. Here are the TV complete specs:
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=televisions&type=televis ions&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LNT3253HX/XAA&fullspec=F
As you can see I have the following inputs on the TV:
Input & Output(Side)
HDMI 1
composite (AV) 1
S-Video 1
Headphone 1
Input & Output(Back)
HDMI 2
composite (AV) 1
S-Video 1
PC input (D-sub) 1
Component(Y/Pb/Pr) 2
As instructed by one of the guys at the Apple store, I got today an Apple DVI to Video Adapter, and I have a RCA Audio Cable Adapter (that I used in my previous laptop, an iBook). I also have another cable that I don't know the name but it fits in the hole of the adapter where there is a TV-display icon. I used all of these but have no computer image on the TV...
What am I doing wrong? Do I need a "S-Video" cable? Where should I plug the cables on the TV?
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks!

Hey Rhyd, thank you for your reply!
Here is a complete list of audio and video features. I guess there are some audio features in the Input & Output (side and back) lists too. Do you think I have this optical audio input? - perhaps the "composite (AV)"? :
AUDIO
Sound Effect System SRS TruSurround XT
Sound Output(RMS) 10W x 2
Input & Output(Side)
HDMI 1
composite (AV) 1
S-Video 1
Headphone 1
Input & Output(Back)
HDMI 2
composite (AV) 1
S-Video 1
PC input (D-sub) 1
Component(Y/Pb/Pr) 2
I usually use a Bose system with a subwoofer and two tiny speakers I have when I watch movies. I connect it to the headphone output of the TV. How would it work with this? This is the system:

TV-Out on Mega 180 (Composite)

Hi there,
I just received my Mega 180 some days ago. So far I'm really satisfied. I just have one problem an perhaps you could help me.
I at first used the S-Video out from Mega to my S-Video-Scart-In of my TV. That worked without problems.
Now I wanted to use the Composite out instead of S-Video out from the Mega 180. So I connected a composite-adapter to the S-Video port and connected a composite cable to it. Now my TV only shows the picture black/white.
I know that this is an issue connected with S-Video. So I changed in nvidia-driver the automatic detection to manual (composite). But whenever I change this, I just get a complete black screen. I tried this with many nvidia driver versions. All the same.
And now the really misteryous thing: when I de-install the nvidia driver (graphic) and start windows with standard vga-mode, I have a colored picture with the mentioned composite out without having changed anything.
Anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance.
My Hardware:
- MSI Mega 180
- Athlon Sempron 2800
- WinTV 350 PVR
- 512 MB
- onBoard graphicscard

I want to use composite instead of s-video because my tv doesn't support s-video. It only supports composite.
