Elgato Eye TV Hybrid S-Video signal shows no colors

Hi,
I have an Elgato Hybrid for my MBP. When I connect my Sony dvd-recorder to it (thru S-Video) I get a sharp picture but it only shows in black and white. No colors.
I have a professional scart to S-Video cable. Someone suggested me to change the settings of my MBP but I don't know where or how this can be done.
Perhaps I have to alter the settings of Eye TV as well? I don' really know.
Settings are correct; Eye TV input is set to S-Video

Seems the settings of my dvd-recorder were not correct: when I changed them to S-Viseo out all was working well.

My HP Pavilion a 6130n shows no video signal

My HP Pavilion a 6130n shows no video signal via aga. Attached another monitor via dvi. Still no video signal.
Any troubleshooting suggestions?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Does your PC have a discrete video card or just the on board graphics processor with a VGA connector?
If you are using a HP monitor then try a monitor reset. Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up. check the monitor's internal source selection and make sure that it is set to VGA.
Test the monitor and cable using just VGA on another PC to ensure that those components are good. Alternatively, use a known good monitor and VGA cable (without using adapters).
The other suggestion would be to locate a video card that is rated to work with the 250 watt power supply in your PC. There are very few video cards that are rated by the manufacturer to work with a 250 watt PC. A new power supply and video card might be close to $100.

Hi, a year ago I build my computer, a gaming PC, and everything works fine until a few days ago, exactly one year after the build, I was on mi pc when suddenly all freeze out, the video and the sound I just had to press the shutdown button, when I start the pc again it just start like 3 seconds and restart infinitely.
After a web search I start to think that the PSU was the problem but after more research looks like the motherboard was the problem so I take out the battery and put it back and start the pc.
The PC starts again, but another problem begin after that there is no video signal. The monitor doesn’t show any image I try to disconnect the Graphic card but nothing I press the button of the Motherboard to reset it but still the same I can’t solve the problem but there is more, after the PC start it stays ON like a minute and then restart again but the second time no restart anymore.
Any suggestion ?

So now you can boot with no auto restart, but without display?
You tried with IGD (on-board display)?
Maybe try another monitor or cable,
and use only one RAM stick w/ different slots to boot.

Elgato Eye TV 250 makes iMac "pop"?!

Just hooked up Elgato Eye TV 250 a few days ago to my new (Christmas) 24" iMac which has worked flawlessly from day one. I now notice that whenever the Eye TV application is open, every so often I hear a single pop come through my iMac. I haven't timed it, but I'm guessing it happens maybe twice every half hour (?). I am using a pair of external speakers (Altec Lansing) that work without any problems. I can't really tell if the pop comes from the speakers or from the computer itself. It's not a huge deal--a little annoying perhaps--but just thought I'd see if anyone knew what this was or, more importantly, if it could be doing any kind of damage?
Thanks!

I've been using my eyeTV with my iMac 24" for just about a year with Comcast digital cable. I am able to view HD (16:9) content on those channels that are not scrambled. Today, I added a Direct TV STB (not HD) and I'm able to view razor sharp digital 4:3 as my STB is not HD capable. I don't have a HD box handy, but I would suspect that if you have one, you should be able to view the D*TV HD programming including movies. I know someone who also has the D*TV HD bundle and he routes his composite video out to a Samsung DVD Player/Burner. He can create movie DVDs in 16:9 "HD" using this setup. His TV is connected via HDMI from the DVD player so he can watch those movies in real time as well.
My only question right now is that while I can see the D*TV Guide on my mac's screen... when I switch channels with the mouse, it shows the change... but remains on the previous channel. So I have to use the D*TV remote to switch channels... a real PITA.

When i turned the computer on for the first time, the system boots up and there is one small beep, sounds like it is posting, but I get no video signal from my monitor, which I checked on my other computer and is working fine, I tried both video cards in the 1st slot, in non-sli mode and I get the same result each time, so I get no video signal with all ways tried? Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, welcome to forum.

have you tried with one of them only into 1st PCI-E? use 1st DVI output, when using SLI, ensure SLI bridge is configured property, connect monitor to VGA onto 1st PCI-E slot. also check monitor output is configured property(etc: Input 1, Input 2).
power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU and Clear CMOS Guide
re-test.
ensure all power cables are connected property. try to boot with one memory stick only into slot close to CPU socket.
what D-bracket shows?
"Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal?"
yes, think is too weak for your system
its recommended to get single rail with high amperes on +12V (over 30A)
read here:
PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth
Is your problem caused by your PSU?

Solutions for displaying s-video signal on Macbook Pro? (2006 model)

I looking around for ways to display an s-video signal on my Macbook Pro, but i've no idea the best way to this.
I'm not really after capturing or recording the signal, but I just need a means that I can view the signal, and to be able to switch to another program running on the Macbook. (switch back and forth from Mac app to viewing s-video signal)
Ive seen a few products but they look overblown for what I really need to do like the Elgato video capture, and the xlr8 provideo usb devices.
Is there a way that I could use the DVI socket on the Macbook? I have seem its possible to display the Macbook signal on an external display using this socket, but can it be used to take an input signal?
Message was edited by: jauqq
Technical note of what I exactly need this for: I have an old Roland sampler which can be used with an external monitor to aid in its editing. The outputs on the sampler are s-video and digital RGB. So that I dont have to buy an old bulky monitor I want to use my Macbook display for this while I also am running Logic Pro 8 at the same time. And to switch from Logic, to the displayed signal from the sampler.

The DVI out on your MacBookPro cannot be used for input. In order to see the s-video signal on your MBP display you will need an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-55, plus you will need to run software. You may be able to use iChat A/V, although I haven't tried it for this purpose. It will cost you more than the Elgato eyeTV device, however.
You will find it much easier & cheaper if you just get an inexpensive LCD display to use with your Roland sampler.

Late 2009 iMac running Yosemite freezing and won't wake up when Elgato Eye TV starts to record?

As above really, not much more to add.
My husbands late 2009 iMac recently upgraded to Yosemite (latest update installed yesterday) freezes while in sleep mode and has to be 'force shutdown' by holding power button down and then restarted to get it going again. Recording is stopped.
The Elgato Eye TV is a dual tuner with latest update.
Sometimes it wakes the computer up and begins recording, sometimes not.
No key taps or mouse jiggles get it to wake nor a quick press of the power button, I can hear the computer running and have to hold the power button down until all is quiet then fire it back up.
Other times it just doesn't wake the computer at all and start recording. I am all out of things to try, I think he had this problem before but not as badly when the iMac was running Snow Leopard.

Hi Boaz,
I´m facing exactly the same with my Mini which is remotely controlled by a MacBook via Screensharing. Everything works fine unless the Mini goes to sleep. After that I´m not able to wake it up by the MacBook and Wake on LAN (Wol). Even the share is not listed in Finder´s sidebar anymore. It simply doesn´t show up in the share sections anymore. When I log on to my router I can see, that MacMini is not active and I can send WoL package from the router. That brings the Mini back alive, although it still doesn´t show up in the Finder sidebar. When I connect to the Mini via Finder "Connect to share" and type in: vnc://ip-MacMini I can use screensharing again.......
Also I faced the problem with indexed network phantoms....means my Mini was listed in network shares with several different indices e.g. MacMini(2) and (4) and so on..... I wasn´t able to connect and curiously these phantoms show up even when my Mini was shut off! Looks like bonjour or something else is not working properly....
I fixed phantoms by reseting my router (AVM firtzbox), which worked out perfect since yesterday and no indexed phantom is showing up anymore.....
Haven´t fixed the screensharing or waking up thing yet....
I was also taking part in beta testing program and reported these problems to Apple. In Mavericks everything worked really perfect!

Watching TV recorded with Eye TV Hybrid on a TV via DVD player

Hello, I need a little help. I have found out on other threads how to take a TV show recorded on my iMac via Eye TV Hybrid and export it to iDVD and burn a DVD to watch on my TV. I was wondering if anyone out there has done this and what the quality is on your TV? Is it comparable to recording a show with your VCR, or is it all pixally?
Also, if anyone has a better way of getting the recorded shows to DVD for TV viewing I am all ears.
Thank you

if the app support the old AV out type then yes
otherwise no because iphone4 does not support airplay mirror
and even if it did then the iplayer could block the airplay mirror feature if they choose

Unsupported Video Signal

Have a 47TL515 3D tv. Plugged in a VHS player and it shows the picture fine, but there is an error message on the bottom in a big grey box that reads "Unsupported Video Signal". How do I get rid of the box? It won't go away.

So is this forum to post our issues with new Toshiba products? Do Toshiba support employees even monitor or use this site? Or is it just a place for digruntled users to cry on each others shoulders?
I may have found a temporary fix to my problem. Was trying to watch another VHS tape with this annoying "Unsupported Video Signal" box on the screen and decided I couldn't take it anymore. I switched the RCA adapter I had plugged into Video 2 with the adapter plugged into Video 1. Switched input so now I was viewing VHS playback on Video 1. Same problem. Big gray Unsupported Video Signal box still there. So I switched them back, so VHS is now plugged into RCA plug adapter in Video 2 slot. All of a sudden the big gray box is gone! And it stayed that way! Was able to enjoy a whole movie without it coming back. And now, a day later, after shutting everything down last night and turning it back on tonight, the big gray box is still missing. Yay!
Thanks for nothing Toshiba.

Hello Yusuf,
I have a PXI system with a PXI-1411 and IMAQ Vision and NI-IMAQ. I'm using this card to acquire the video signal from a DVD.I'll like to develop an application with LV able to check frame by frame if my received signal is arriving in good conditions.This application should be able to detect if there's some frozen picture effect or if the DVD unit shows are incorrect pictures. I have no idea how to launch this project and if it can be done. Could you give me some idea or tell me the link of somewhere to find this? By the way, I have a PXI-8176. Thank you very much.

Elegato Eye TV Hybrid under Vista

Hi all,
I'm running Vista x64 under BootCamp. I have an Elegato Eye TV Hybrid attached to my Mac Pro. Under Windows Vista this is recognised as a Hauppauge HVR-950.
I have tried to install the drivers for this without any success. Sadly to say Hauppauge's Win TV software is flaky and badly written looks like an understatement.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had successfully got their Elegato Eye TV Hybrid working under Boot Camp (and Vista specifically)...???
Thanks

I have the exact same problem with the eyetv hybrid on a Mac Pro Intel running Leopard. Did you resolve the problem? I am working with Elgato support so we'll see what they say...

Intel iMac no video signal

I have a two-year-old Intel iMac. This morning I get to work and boot up but there is no video signal, just a black screen. I finally determined that it was booting ok, I can seen the hard drive on the network and access files off it, but I can't get the video working. Tried unplugging for awhile to reset the SMC but no help and resetting the PRAM. Tried booting off the DVD, no help. When I push the power button, it goes to sleep, but I can't wake it, the light keeps pulsing. I tried taking out the ram modules but it wouldn't show video on either one (I haven't touched them for about a year). There may have been some electrical problems over the weekend with storms.
Any ideas besides taking it into the shop?
Thanks for any help.

Yes I did the proper procedure for resetting the SMU, several times. Finally took it into the shop and something in the graphics card is shot, which of course means a new logic board. At least a little cheaper than the over $900 I've seen quoted in other posts, only $652. Can't spring for a new computer yet, so going that route and hope it lasts a few more years.
Like others, I hope such problems don't signal a decline in Apple quality, at least in terms of the iMacs. I worked with 8-10 macs in a department for 15 years going from System 6 to Tiger and rarely had problems with the hardware failing. Now my personal iMac G5 had a logic board replaced just shy of the Apple Care running out, and this work iMac intel (at a new job where I'm the only Mac user) needing the same after just over two years. Unfortunately, they didn't get it with Apple Care.

No video signal, but G5 works

Hi, newby here...
I've just received a G5 as a gift, without HD, but that's minor... I've placed one and was trying to instll 10.5. But the problem is that it sends no video signal to the monitor (an apple perfectly working one). Actually it sents (on the 30-40 startup tries) video signal 1 time: after again no signal. I've resetted eveything in every way (PRAM, NVRAM, PMU, SMU whatever, no signal). I can't believe it's the video card, because it worked one time. I've completely disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the new toy, but it shows no life sign to the monitor, but i can hear it works....
Can it be the battery?
What can I try? thanks all....

No video signal when connecting Blu Ray player

I have a new blu ray player and HDMI cable. It will play just fine when connected to little cheap TV but my large Toshiba will just show No video signal when I try to connect it and use it. I have tried everything, read the whole manual, searched online help, called the support phone number which just directed me back to the online support. Nothing has helped.
Also when using my old DVD player with the 3 component cables, I never get any color, just black and white picture.

The TV likely has a shared video input. You need to tell it in the settings whether you're using a composite or component device. If you have a composite device connected and the TV thinks it's a component device, it'll show up in black and white. What model number is your TV? I'll tell you change the setting once I know what TV you have.
Also, to what specific port is the new Blu-ray player connected?
