GeForce4 MX series TV-OUT Chip ???

Does anyone know what tv chip has G4 MX (any) sice detonator recogise them like "NV17 Internal". ?( ?(
OK chip is integrated but it must have a manufacurer and a model (ex. Conexant 7007) because nVIDIA doesn't create TV chips.
I tried to find some informations about it but there isn't any.
HELP !!!

nvidia does integrate tv out on nv17, take a look at tvtool.de (in german) pitty tvtool does not suport nv 17

Zunächst stellt sich die Frage, welche TV-Chips gibt es überhaupt? Auf nVidia Karten werden TV-Encoder der Hersteller Chrontel, Conexant und Philips verbaut. Auf GF4-MX Karten findet sich neuerdings auch die Eigenentwicklung von nVidia, die sich in den Anzeige-Eigenschaften als NV17 meldet. Hierbei handelt es sich nicht um einen externen TV-Chip wie in den anderen Fällen, sondern er ist direkt in den VGA Chip integriert.

Which Tv out chip does 4200 use?

Hello, I was wondering which tv out chip MSI is using for their "Ti4200-VTD8X MS-8894" card and other 4200 cards. if you have one of these cards could u please check for me.
Its easy with the current nvidia drivers.
-right clickdesktop>properties>settings>advanced>GeForce4 Ti4200
It will then tell you, eg. my xfx card uses" Tv Codec Type: Phillips 7108 "
I'm wondering which card has the best tv output, cause im building my brother a computer.
Thanks. )

I think that Philips 7114 is right in your situation for TVin and GF4MX internal Encoder for TVout
What version of Detonator driver you use ? Could you try newest Detonator 41.03 for Tv Codec Type message ?

Why are some of my photos tack sharp while others in the same series are out of focus?

My camera is a Canon Rebel XS (dSLR) and I primarily use the 50mm f/1.8 lens.
I shoot in Manual Mode with Autofocus ON.
I am having difficulty with my photos coming out incositant - some are out of focus, while others in the same series (taken a moment apart) are tack sharp.
I've attached two examples - one of the out-of-focus image, the other sharp images (both have been blown up).
It is not camera shake and my settings are identical for both photos. (ISO 200 | f/4.5 | 1/100sec in this instance.)
This has become such a problem that I find myself needing to take 10x more photos of the same subject/pose in order to hopefully get one sharp image from the series.
I have asked multiple people about this problem (though I have yet to take my camera and lens to a shop due to lack of funds) and no one has any idea of either what I'm talking about or what the problem could be.
I would appreciate your thoughts and help!
Thank you!
Fuzzy/Out of Focus:
Sharp:

This new pair of images does not look like camera motion -- this one looks like it missed focus.
If you use the included Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with your camera, you can right-click an image and tell it show you the focus point which were used (the camera wont know if you did a focus-and-recompose technique... so if you recompose after locking focus then the focus points indicated by DPP wouldn't be meaningful). But I bring this up because it would allow you to determine which focus point the camera claims it used.
I think you mentinoned that you used "One Shot" focus mode -- not AI Servo. One Shot should block the camera from taking the shot until it thinks it confirmed focus-lock on the selected AF point (or on at least one AF point it you allow the camera to pick from any of its available focus points.) In AI Servo the camera WILL take the shot when you fully press the button -- whether it successfully locked focus or not.
That brings us back to the subject of the focus test.
If you do not own a commercial chart, then you may want to download one from the Internet and print it. Here's a good site: http://regex.info/blog/photo-tech/focus-chart
Print the chart and follow the instructions. I deliberately run the camera out of focus to nearest focus distance and force the camera to re-focus and shoot... and I repeat this at least a half-dozen times. I then repeat... but this time deliberately run the camera out of focus to infinity before forcing the camera to focus and take the shot.
Track each shot as you do the focus test. You may see a pattern emerge (e.g. perhaps it nails focus when going in one direction to find focus... but misses in another, etc.) Such a pattern might indicate the lens is getting sloppy and needs service (it's usually not worth servicing the 50mm f/1.8 due to it's low cost.) The USM and STM lenses allow full-time manual focus override (even if the lens is auto-focusing). The basic auto-focus motor lenses (like the 50mm f/1.8) do not support this and forcing manual focus without disengaging the focus system can be harmful.

X-series analog out fifo preload

i am porting an m-series driver to x-series, and have a quick question about analog output.
i have found that I can preload the aout FIFO by writing sequential data to:
  device.AO.AO_FIFO_Data_Register.writeRegister(val);
however this is a 32-bit register, and through trial and error I have found that i have to write two values at a time:
  for(int i=0;i<preloadCount;i+=2)
  u32 val = buffer[i] & 0xffff;   // buffer has correctly scaled DAC values, as 32-bit ints
if (i<(preloadCount-1))   // in case preload count not divisible by 2
val |= buffer[i+1]<<16;
device.AO.AO_FIFO_Data_Register.writeRegister(val);
is there a way to write one 16-bit value at a time to the analog out fifo?
thanks,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

additionally, is there a way to DMA 32-bit values to analog out, without them being interpreted as pairs of 16-bit values?
for analog input, both problems (writes to the fifo, and dma to the fifo) are solved by setting the fifo width:
aiHelper.programFIFOWidth(nAI::kFourByteFifo, status)
but so far I have not found a similar mechanism for analog output.
national instruments guys, can you comment?

[resolved] Xorg 1.8, GeForce4 MX 4000, tv-out

I have been happily watching videos from my computer to the TV via the svideo output. It looks like with Xorg 1.8 this is no longer possible as nvidia-96xx does not support the new xorg. Nouveau as far as I can figure out does not support tv-out for nv10 which is the category my card belongs. Hopefully someone can help me with some information:
1. Am I right to say that I won't get to watch videos on TV with my card and using nouveau?
2. Assuming that I am right, my options are
a) to change to the lts kernel (because the latest kernel is also incompatible with nvidia-96xx) and hold xorg as it is now (I have not upgraded yet) and continuing to upgrade regularly
b) or to completely not upgrade at all, assuming that freezing xorg and kernel will cause problems down the road if I continue to upgrade the rest. Hope for nvidia-96xx to be updated in due course.
Which option would you advise, and if it is a) can someone tell me what packages I need to get pacman to ignore?

Yup, I agree. For those facing similar issues, here's what I did:
1. I use an old arch installation in a spare partition and upgraded to current.
2. pacman -Rd xorg-server xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse xf86-video-nv
3. pacman -U older versions of those packages (you gotta do them simultaneously)
4. Kernel26-lts cannot be used as nvidia-96xx cannot determine that it is <2.6.34 so I downgraded to the last 2.6.33 version. Similarly kernel26-headers.
5. I installed nvidia-96xx and nvidia-96xx-utils
6. Set the ignorepkg in pacman.conf to ignore the above as well as ignoregroup xorg for extra insurance.
7. reboot and everything works.
8. pacman -Syu and I am back to current except for kernel and xorg.
Will use this and keep packages current. Will have my other arch installation (now frozen) as fallback option in case this one gets borked.

[GeForce4 Ti] Ti4200 TV out doesn't work properly with 78.01 Nvidia Drivers

I downloaded the new Nvidia drivers because the computer was restarting suspiciously after installing a new DVD unit and cloning to the TV. I downloaded the drivers and installed, restarted and everything was working properly. However, when I tried cloning to the TV I got this black and white scrambling terrible image. I have tried checking the plug and everything, changing from PAL to NSTC-M (and some others too) but to no avail. Changing to another resolution, color, etc will only get it worse.
Any suggestions?
H A R A

Then just revert back to the 71.84's and see if the problem continues. Instead of going up, go back if you still have problems. You could even try the 71.89's
I don't recommend re-installing your OS unless you've done it before. It can be a big project if you haven't taken the proper steps to prepare. I don't do that unless it's absolutely necessary, you aren't there yet...
How about you read my suggestions for posting and getting better answers at the top of this vga forum, create a signature, then come back after trying the previous drivers, and if necessary, some older ones. If you stilll have problems, then come back with some history of your PC and what you've tried.
You may want to consider using driver cleaner http://www.drivercleaner.net make sure you read and follow the instructions...

Just bought the Geforce4 TI card and for some reason the option to select TV out from NView Display Doesn't let me select TV out. The Raido buttons are light grey as if the card does not support TV out. In the Nview Modes Tab Standard (duelView) is the only radio button that can be selected. Clone, Horizontal Span, Vertical Span are all light grey and unclickable. I've tried the drivers that came with the card and also updated them with no luck. Any idea on whats going on ? ?(

Hmmm,
Vasa, it's strange that you had to connect a resistor to the Video out for the detection process to work! But maybe you are on to something that's causing a lot of people to have similar problems :D
If you measure the DC resistance of the Video input of a TV (or VCR etc.), you should see about 75 ohms. This is effectively what TV-out chips do - they make a fairly crude resistance measurement, and any resistance below a nominal threshold value (which will vary from chip to chip, but is probably somewhere between 100 and 200 ohms) will count as a "Pass" and ultimately allow the TV out to be enabled.
However, if for some reason the DC input resistance of the TV is significantly higher than 75 ohms, then the test will Fail, and TV out can't be enabled. Now, if TVs are being designed with high (DC) input resistance, they won't be detected by TV out chips, which is a pain in the fundamental output orifice The same applies if you are going through a VCR or a surround sound amplifier with video switching, for example.
A notable exception is professional video equipment, which has "loop-through" inputs. This allows a single signal to be connected to several devices (e.g. a TV monitor, VCR, Vision Switcher, Waveform Monitor) without needing a Distribution Amplifier to split the signal up. Each device has a high input impedance, and usually a pair of connectors and a switchable 75ohm terminator. It is important with this arrangement that there is exactly one 75 ohm termination, which must be at the end of the line. Anyway, people who use this type of equipment generally know what they are doing
I hope this background info is of interest.

TV-chip on the MSI G4TI4200-TD card?

Hi,
I´m thinking of buying a MSI G4TI4200-TD card, but first i want to know what kind of TV-out chip it uses (like cx25871 from Conexant, or SAA7104 from Philips)?
Is it the same card for the whole ti4200-series?
If you know please post it, or if you dont know but you have the card please check which chip it uses!
And if you have an oppinion of how the tv-out quality is with that specific card - please let me know!
Thanx

I forgot to mention some details! the card should be...
MSI G4 Ti4200-TD - AGP 4x - 128 MB DDR SDRAM
... and I allso would like to know if the card has both s-vhs, and composite output to the TV!
Sorry for my bad english - im swedish!

Problems with TV out on GF4 TI4800SE

I've been having this problem with running movies and other video files full screen from my comp to my tv. The picture is fine when it's normal sized, but when I make it full screen I get all these distorted horizontal lines over the screen...I've tried changin drivers, settings...I have no idea what to do...anyone got any suggestions?
BTW I'm runnin XP.
Thanx

Hi,
I used to have problems with Chrontel CH-700x chips producing dark horizontal banding on TV out, especially in highly saturated (highly coloured) areas of the screen, and aggravated by mouse movement.
It only happened in full screen PAL 800x600 mode, which was the exact mode we needed to operate in :(
The problem was noise on the +5V power supply line to the sensitive analogue section of the CH-700x chip. The suggested solution was to increase the filtering to the AVDD pin (pin 31 on the CH-7007 for example).
Initially, Chrontel suggested (in TB28) a filter consisting of a 20 ohm resistor in series with the supply line to this pin, and a 47uF Capacitor from pin 31 to 0V. In practice, an existing filter inductor could be changed to a resistor, and an existing capacitor replaced with a larger one (This was on a MS-6215 barebone machine).
This worked reasonably well, but did not suppress the problem completely. I found that using a separate 5V 3 terminal regulator (78L05 etc.) fed from the +12V rail gave superior results. I reported my findings to Chrontel, who subsequently issued TB30 showing this solution.
As far as I know, this problem only affects Chrontel TV-out chips. I don't know what is on your card, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. Unfortunately, the above cures require a reasonable level of technical knowledge and skill to implement, and will of course VOID YOUR WARRANTY
I hope this helps.

DV9812us is absolute gabage, HP knew it before they put it out, failed to resolve their screw up

How can a company knowingly produce a product with defective parts? I.e. - crappy motherboards (or nvidia chips, whichever) that constantly overheat, dvd rom drives and wifi chips that fail or are intermittent for no reason. With so many people having the same issues, how was a recall never issued?!? And to top it off, you want $250+ to fix these P.O.S's?!?!? NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN WILL I BUY AN HP PRODUCT!!! My dv9812 (that's only a few years old) constantly overheats and shuts down, the dvd drive hasn't worked in ages and recently my wifi refuses to work, or even show up in device manager. I even resorted to completely wiping out my computer and starting from scratch, but that did NOTHING. Updated every driver I possibly can as well as BIOS. This things will soon be in a scrap heap. . . $1000 horribly wasted. Thanks for nothing HP. You've just lost a customer.

Yeah I run across a lot of people in your boat and my advice is always not to put another nickel into them. In modest defense of HP, when the dv9500 series came out after the really awful dv9000 series, the full extent and cause of the problem was not known. It later developed it was nVidia who is responsible for the design of the video chip. nVidia wound up bearing the brunt of the financial hit on these things although it has never been acknowledged officially that the dv9500 series is not really any better than the dv9000 series.

TV out resolution

I finally connected my MSI MEGA 180 to my TV, but got some
problems.
If i use 800x600 on my 36"" Sony widescreen i get 3 cm black bars on top/bottom.
What resolution should i use ?
I tried adding a custom resolution of 720x576, then it shrinked to 1 cm top/bottom.
800x800 seems to be too high, it makes the screen scroll, it doesn get right if i try values between 600 and 800, it suddenly gets too big.
Whats the recomended screen resolution on tv out for a widescreen tv ??
Or how do i stretch it so it covers the entire screen ?
I'm not impressed with the quality, it's very blurry, hard to see text etc...
Dst

Hi,
I've been away a while, so I only just found this thread.
Firstly - the TV standards.
NTSC = National Television Standards Commitee, aka Never Twice the Same Colour, used in US and other third world TV countries
SECAM = SEquential Coleur Avec Memoir, aka Something Essentially Contrary to the American Method. Used in France, Russia and related countries.
PAL = Phase Alternating Line, aka Peace At Last. Solves the green faces/ purple trees problems that plague NTSC. Used in enlightened countries
TV vertical resolution is set by the number of lines - about 480 for NTSC, 580 for PAL and SECAM. Horizontal resolution is set by the maximum video bandwidth, about 5MHz for PAL, 4MHz for NTSC. Colour bandwidth is worse. The upshot is that 800x600 is the maximum resolution you can reasonably display on a TV, and even then you need to use large fonts for it to be readable.
There are some variations each format, for more info, look here
Most TV sets are deliberately overscanned - the picture is larger than the "frame". The smaller the set, the more the overscan, and the more information is lost around the edges. To compensate for this, and to make sure that the whole PC display area is visible on the TV, most TV out chips are programmed to uderscan the image, with a black border all round. The TV out chips usually can expand the picture to "full screen" or "overscan" mode, but the standard drivers might not give you the option.
Have a look at tvtool It's a very useful utility, although it might not work on your hardware (and is nVidia only).
Hope this helps.
Cheers

TV OUT Problem this is how I solved.

Well, first of all I cannot guarantee if this will work for all people with tv out problems. TV with PC I think will always be a BIG headache .
How I did fix my TV OUT problem. Since I live here in Brazil, people have a problem with the system that is Pal-m. But this is easy to set up, since you just have the screen working on your TV.
The first thing that I did is to remove completely the most recent NVDIA drive (not the one made for MSI) that is 30.82. I also removed the WDM driver. Since Im using XP I didnt have to reboot 30 times just 20, , yes 20 reboot times to see if everything was all right, it took me about 1,5 hour of work.
The second thing was that I started to install the driver that came with my MSI Card (Geforce4 MX-460 TV OUT). The version was 27.50. The TV out problem was gone. I got a really nice image from the screen.
Than It came the must boring part. ;( I tested all nvidia drives from 27.50 to 30.82. Look the results I got concerning just the nview situation(dual monitors):
Nvidia 28.32. work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2835 work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2880 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2890 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2911 doesnt work with nview. Not all parts from the driver was updated, someone belongs to 28.90.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2920 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2942 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2960 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia win-xp-2k-2980 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia Win2k-xp-29.90 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia W2K_XP_V29.90 doesnt work with nview
nvidia Win2k-xp-3020 doesnt work with nview
nvidia Win2k-xp-3030 doesnt work with nview.
nvidia Win2k-xp-3082 doesnt work with nview.
I got all this drivers from a really nice site: 3dchipset .
Of course most of these are beta drivers and due to my limitation knowledge, I dont know why the nview display stopped to work at version 28.32.
And the last. The driver 28.90 driver did a really fatal crash on my PC when I was using my web camera and the nview together. It just shut down my PC, at once. X(
That all folks

Yes, that's how iMessage should work. Try this. Sign out of Messages on both devices. Sign back in on your phone and wait until it activates. Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. Make sure Start New Conversations From is set to our mobile number. Then sign in on your iPad using the same Apple ID as you use on your phone. Once it activates, verify the settings. I've got iMessage syncing across my iPhone, iPad and MBA. Every once in a while, there's a glitch but rarely.
Best of luck.

Out of date Brazil map on Nokia 3710

Hello,
I live in Brasil and I bought a Nokia 3710, which has an internal GPS receiver and came with Nokia Maps 2 pre-installed. I have already checked for both software and maps update on Ovi Suite. There was no software update, but Ovi Suite did update Brazil map.
Nevertheless, even though Ovi Suite has updated the map, it is still pretty out of date! I have also a Nokia 5800 with Ovi Maps 3.04 installed and it has a more recent version of the map of Brazil. The Brazil map in my 5800 is bigger and have recent streets modifications on my town, which the map installed on the 3710 doesn't have.
Does anyone know of an explanation to this? Shouldn't the map data be the same, despite of different software version? I feel a little deceived here, because I bought Nokia 3710 in order to use as a GPS device, and of course I expected to have the more recent version of the maps.
I can't think of an explanation to this, since Nokia currently owns Navteq, which is the map
Best regards,

As each new map series comes out with more detail or layers included it is increasingly needing more powerful devices to implement them. If you look at the restricted devices that can currently utilise OVI Maps v3.06 Beta from Nokia Beta Labs you will get a better idea.
Presumably your 5800 is using OVI Maps v3.04 with 00.01.25.114 maps for Brazil, although if you updated to aforementioned Beta version of OVI Maps using maps 00.02.41.123 you would find in some specific regions mapping is currently worse than previous version.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5
