HP Touchsmart s video input

I have a IQ826t HP Touchsmart (about 4-5 years old now) and I just got re-interested in a problem I had when I just got the computer. I know for a fact that my computer has an S-Video input. All I want to do is plug in a machine so that the screen will display the S-Video input. At the time, the HP Support told me to set up a box top from the S-Video to trick the computer into thinking that the input was a tv signal (rather than a gaming system like an Xbox). Is there something available now that will display what I plug into the S-Video input?
I'm hoping that after this many years, HP has been able to solve this issue and can give me a solution to this problem.
Let me know if you need any other information.

Hello sagarp93,
You want to use the video input on the computer.
I looked up your service manual and it shows the S-video to be for input, but it reads as though you need a TV tuner to use the port.
On the monitor there should be a button to change the source to S-video input.
It might be that there is a problem with the port, because there are no settings that need to be changed.
Let me know how everything goes.

  • Touchsmart Iq506t Windows 7, Unable to acess s-video input from windows media center.

    System: Hp Touchsmart IQ506T
                  Windows 7
                  Avermedia (A327) Hybrid mini Pcie Tv Tuner (NTSC/ATSC)
    I purchase this system used without an operating system. I installed windows 7 and downloaded the drivers from Hp. All drivers are installed properly and the Avermedia (A327) mini card driver can be seen in device manager.
    Yet, the A327 tv tuner will not give me access to the s-video input. I can get tv thru the rf connection but I want to use the s-video because it has a cleaner signal.
    Any information about the s-video port will be appreciated..
    Thank you..

    Hi Cnmarsh,
    I understand you are having an issue with the Touchsmart Iq506t with  Windows 7, unable to access s-video input from Windows Media Center.
    I read from your post that drivers are installed properly and the Aver media mini card drivers are seen in device manager.
    I was wondering if the any of the drivers in Device Manager have a Yellow caution?
    Also, is the Touchsmart Iq506t software all up to date?
    You could try to download and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tool with this link.

  • Touchsmart IQ542 S-video input capability as Wii input

    Can anyone offer any information on the usability of the S-Video input on the IQ542 with a composite video source (Wii for example) and composite to s-video converter ? Have heard of really poor video quality on PC-TV cards when using composite sources. [Would love to take the 600-1050 or later but cannot push the budget so far]
    Thanks

    An S-vid to composite adapter works just fine, but the poor quality you're referring to is that ALL s-vid or composite input is at the lower end of standard def.

    Hello @dmsacco,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that you are trying to use the s-video input on your HP TouchSmart IQ506 Desktop PC and you are having issues with it. First what exactly are you trying to connect to the s-video? The S-video input on your computer is for capturing video. You can connect a VCR or analog camcorder using S-video cable or the composite to S-video adapter. You can then open Cyberlink PowerDirector and capture video and create home DVD movies.
    Please re-post with the requested information if you still require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

    Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.  Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?

  • How can I connect my iPad to a TV that only has an s-video input available but also has a usb port on the satellite box available.

    I would like to connect my iPad to my older TV but the only inputs available are the s-video input port on the TV itself and there is also a USB input port on the satellite box that feeds the TV. I could also split all the RCA jacks to accomodate another input here. Thanks in advance for any and all help with this problem of mine..............RR.

    There is no s-video cable available for any iPad.
    The USB port on the cable box is for maintenance use only.
    There are RCA cables available:

  • Please help! Not able to set Video input Port(S-Video or Composite)on Linux

    Hi
    I am using JMF2.1.1e(Linux performance pack) for video capturing on Linux OS. I want to set video input port(S-Video or composite) through my application. I am using the following code:
         if ( dataSource != null )
              arrControls = dataSource.getControls ();
         if ( arrControls != null )
              nCount = arrControls.length;
         System.out.println("No. of Controls: " + nCount);     
         for ( i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
              if ( arrControls[i] == null )
                   continue;
              if ( !(arrControls[i] instanceof Control) )
                   continue;
              componentControl = ((Control)arrControls).getControlComponent ();
              System.out.println("ComponentControl : " + componentControl);
              if ( componentControl == null )
                   continue;
    But, i am getting No. of Controls: 0 (Zero). So i am not able to get any control component also. Rest of the application is working fine. Please help me solving this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    To go a stage further.
    Google run a Jabber server for their service.
    Jabber apps (those that can) use a Protocol called Jingle to make the A/V connections.
    Google's version is not even that compatible with other Jabber apps. (See Here)
    The Plug-in in the Google Install (Or the Standalone Web Browser Plug-in allow Browsers to access the GoogleTalk A/V side as does the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
    iChat uses a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect to other iChat Users or to the AIM for PC app.
    However this also works in any iChat to iChat Connection no matter if the Buddy List is an AIM Login based one, Jabber (including GoogleTalk) or A LAN based Bonjour Chat.
    In you care this is not going to work.
    Getting the Standalone (Intel only) Browser Plug-in and using the Chat option in the Google Mail Web page is probably the easiest option.

    as long as you take all the cables out one by one carfully without more then a few pounds of force with a slight wiggle as they come up its not that hard to do then take the whole PSU and the gpu to your friends house to see if it works
    hell if you dont want to plumb the whole unit into his rig on the main 20/24 pin connector find the green cables pin and any neer by black ground cable and jump your psu with a paperclip in the wholes and just connected to your graphics card in his case and psu outside his case to only power your card and flip the power switch to turn it on quite easy (10 mins to do max)!

  • Em28xx:cross row noise only with S-video input

    The nice thing about Linux is that every step you make, behind the corner there is always a surprise.
    The surprise today is this:
    I have two versions of Arch Linux installed, both updated to the state of art. One with the last driver em28xx of linuxtv.org (rev 13044) for PCTV USB2 and the other with the driver em28xx-new-hg 0.20090409-1 downloaded from AUR for the card Terratec Cinergy XS.
    In both systems, the operation is perfect with both analog TV and composite video input.
    If, however, capture from s-video in both systems appear horizontal lines that occupy the entire screen the width of ten pixels. The visibility of these lines depends very much on the underlying color. With the blue are very visible.
    Note that in both systems have also installed windows that gives me very good results even for the S-video.
    Changing the format of capture in mplayer and v4l-ctl2 in every way possible does not affect whatsoever the problem.
    Is there any Guru em28xx that can give me a hand?
    Thanks

    The Sony GV-D200E is supposed to have a firewire out on it. Can't you just capture from that? Also, the Sony specs say that besides firewire it also has a composite video output. I would think that would be plenty good enough for hi-8 footage. I doubt very much if you would see any difference at all between that and the S-video given the source is hi-8.
    If can't do any of that, does your miniDV cam have a "pass-through" feature? Most Canon's have it. Anyhow, depending on how it works you may be able to run the proper lines from the Sony unit into your DV unit while passing right through it into the puter. I don't think CS4 will do a live capture, so you may need to capture with WMM instead. If nothing else you can probably record from the Sony to your miniDV and then pass that on to the computer.
    Good Luck

  • Vox S-Video input is black and white

    After a few issues, my Vox is up and running. The picture quality is disappointing on the TV broadcasts but of more issue for me is a problem with the S-Video input.
    The main reason I bought this was to capture old videos and transfer them to DVD. I have a scart lead attached to the back of the VCR with S-Video, Composite Video and Audio phono plugs on the other end. Using the composite video phono plug the picture is fine and I can capture the video. If I swap to use the S-Video plug (my preference as the quality should be better) it comes through in black and white. However, if I plug the S-Video and audio phonos into a television, the picture is fine.
    Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas what might be wrong?
    Thanks,
    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew.  I have the same problem.  Have you found a way round the problem?

  • S-Video Input

    Hey guys!
    I would like to replace my current Intel Pentium 4 PC and cannot decide if I should get an iMac or build a PC. Anyways, I am not going to ask that here since I know what the outcome is going to be.
    What I would like to know is if the iMac supports S-Video input via an adapter / splitter like most PC video cards with VIVO do. The reason why I need this is that I have a DVB-C receiver which I would like to use with my computer because currently, I don't have a TV. I know that I could buy something like the Elgato eyeTV if I needed S-Video, but that would be too expensive right now and also a waste of money because I only need the S-Video input - no need for a TV tuner or the ability to record shows.
    Seb

    There is no video input on an iMac. The only way to get video into an iMac is through Firewire or USB.

  • Video Input

    Just a question about video input on iMacs. Is there any other way to get video input from an Xbox or another gaming console without having to but Elgato products? Why hasn't apple made a 19.99 input adapter to handle S-video or component input just like they have for video output?
    Thanks
