MSI Fx5600 black and white output

I have a MSI FX5600 td128 graphic card and im connecting the computer to a sony monitor with that S-Video-2-RCA cable, and i only get black and white image...
Ive read some posts and i only found the tip to change from auto to Composite output but i dont get signal in TV when i do this...
whats the solution?
Thanks!

Hmmm... This seems to be on your VGA codecs vs your Sony Tv Support now... I think you should posts in the VGA forum since they are more familiar with the TV Outputs...
I can help you move the thread over and leave a link here if you want .
Sorry that I didn't provide much help here ...

Equium A110: SVID to Composit - black and white output

I Have recently bought a Toshiba Equium A110 and i have been trying to out put to a tv
the problem is that svid to svid is fine and in colour however svid to composit (Which is what i need)is black and white i have tried all the settings to no avail i think it has something to do with the tv settings are set to 60hz in the properties but i cannot change them
i have uploaded the latest 945gm drivers which did not cure the problem has anyone got any ideas of what to try next.

S-Video devices send two types of signals down the cable, Chroma (Colour) and Luma (B&W). Your TV or video device must support both Chroma and Luma signals otherwise the picture will be only black and white. Using incorrect signal encoding such as NTSC on a PAL only TV will also result in black and white picture however most modern equipment should handle both.
For using S-Video singals on a TV with no Chroma support you will have to use an S-Video to Composite adaptor. This basically mixes the two signals from S-Video in the correct proportions and delivers CVBS / Composite output. I know for a fact Maplin sell them for around 4.99 but you might find it cheaper elsewhere.

OSX Print in Black and White on an HP Color printer?

I have an HP8500 Color printer connected to OSX 10.8.3 through a JetDirect port. The OSX Driver for the HP8500 does not have the option to print in color or B&W that the windows driver has. As a consequence, even when printing in B&W from a PPT deck, the driver prints using all four color toners to produce a black and white output that looks like it has a hint of purple in it. Is there a different driver I could use that has the option to select black or color output? As it is I'm buring through very expensive color toner for balck and white docs.

The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600. This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).
One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing. It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage. Hope this helps.

Videos black and white

Hi there.
I have a iPod 80GB, and the original iPod AV cables with docking station. I have connected the cables to my home theatre system. Music fine, and I have a cable running from video out on dvd to tv (plasma). Get picture, but in black and white. Have changed all components (dvd, iPod and tv) to PAL, still no change. Any ideas PLEASE!
Thanks

To everyone else who have tried the PAL to NTSC setting and still getting black and white output.
I had a 60 GB IPod Video which I bought the A/V KIT. I set the TV out to ON made sure it was set to NTSC, even tried the S-Video Cable which I bought at Radio Shack. Tried several different TVs. I reset the iPOD, even restored it to factory settings wiping all my data and reloading the COLOR video's with no luck.
After many fustrating searches on many websites (none of which had solutions but several others who had the same problem), I called apple support. Due to my inability to make a descion on how to repair the problem I actually ended up taking to three different support personal. Each with a different solution. The last swore up and down that it was a bad Apple A/V Cable. This made no sense since the s-Video also put out black in white.
Finially, I was able to show the problem to the Genius at the local Apple Store who confirmed the iPOD had a defective video out chip.
SOLUTION: IPod had to be replaced.
WARNING; since the IPod was replaced, I no longer had the laser engraving. You may be able to ship an laser engraved iPod to Apple, but I'm not sure if they will promise to return the personilized iPod so consider carefully your choices.
Otherwise, I love the iPod, looking forward to what iPhone is going to do.

FX5600- tv out is black and white

Hi!
I see this questions very often, but I have never found the answer.
My problem:
I have connected the computer(with FX5600, Win XP) to my videorecorder( because my TV do not have the right input), with RCA-RCA(composite) cable. My video card has an s-video out so I used an s-video to RCA(composite) cable. I have enableded the clone view: analog monitor(primary)+TV. The TV picture was black and white. I read the forum, and found out that I should change S-video output to composite output in nview.
I tried it, but the TV did not show anything. I have already tried TVTOOL without success. My VHS accepts NTSC, PAL-D/K, PAL-B/G.
Could you help me?

Hi!
The original MSI Cable (Mini-DIN to RCA) connects the Luminance part of the S-Video connector to the RCA jack, the Chrominance part is left alone. Sadly, my card gives me
a black screen ich I switch to "composite video" in the settings dialog. I tried some other
permutations of the pins in the S-Video connector of the card, but no success. So I built
this adapter from some other S-Video cable and some old parts I had laying around. The "circuit" (if you want to call it that) mixes the Chrominance part (responsible for the color) back into the Luminance signal (which is basically the composite w/o color). The graphics card stays in S-Video mode.
This is my "adapter" :
Its just sticked together from some old parts I had laying around, the capacitor is from an old electronics experimenting box, I doubt it likes the bandwidth of the chroma signal (stripes in the image). I plan to build it again from brand new high quality parts.
My conclusion: either the card is not able to produce composite video (software problem), or the adapter shipped with it is not compatible.
BTW: I don't speak spanish either, I just built the circuit from the image. But you are right, how can MSI expect such fiddeling from an average user? Maybe they test the cards only on S-Video, but never with Composite. Maybe you could ask in your local electronics store for an S-Video to Composite signal converter (not adapter!).

80GB ipod only outputs in black and white

I just bought a new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hooked it up to my TV and it only outputs the picture in Black and White. If I take my old 60GB 5th Gen iPod it will output a picture no problem in color with the same TV and the same cable hooked up the same way.
All TV out settings are the same:
TV Out: Ask (I turn to ON)
NTSC
Widescreen On
Cable: Apple's iPod AV Cable M9765G/A
The weird thing though is if I take my new 80GB 5th Gen iPod and hook it up to my "MyVu" headsup display, it displays in color. It just won't do it on my TV.
Why won't it display color on my TV?

Try a different Video file on the 80 GB;to see if any changes? Are there any other title;s Videos are Podcast,
TV Shows that will playback in color-- if so It's possible that your file format is not compatible.
Check to see how the video files are define by format, frame rate etc; that your using as a reference to playback on TV.
See if you have any other Video's on the 80GB that will play in color.
Make sure your 80GB is using Itunes Version 7.0 or higher

Converting Word files to pdf- Output is black and white

Hello -
I recently updated the Adobe 9.0 Reader on my computer and now when I try to convert a Word file with pictures and/or difffent colors of fonts to a pdf the output is ALL black and white. I've seen some people here on the forum saying their printer caused the problem, but I have not changed printers and this same Xerox printer worked before. Plus, I am not even printing the files yet - just looking at them in Adobe Reader - and they are in black and white. This never happened before.
Any ideas? Need help!

You may want to ask in the forum for Reader.

How do I print a booklet with a colour cover but with black and white inside pages?

Hi there,
I need to print a large amount of booklets, which have a colour cover but are grayscale on the inside. However, I am having trouble setting up my document to successfully do this and I am unsure if it is something I can change in InDesign or if it is something I should figure out with my printer driver?
We used Page Plus for these booklets in the past and were able to do this with the same printer, so that makes me think there might be setting I could change in InDesign to achieve the same result.
It integral that the printer knows that the inside pages of the booklet are black and white, as we get charged per copy for colour printing and it is vastly increasing our printing costs.
My coworker believed that exporting the file as a PDF with the options: Colour Conversions (convert to destination - Pressure Numbers), Destination (sRGB IEC61966-2.1), and Profile Inclusion Policy (Don't Include Profiles) is making a difference. However, I don't believe is is the case.
If anyone had another suggestion that I could try, that'd be great!!

@Eugene – do you have details for "Export as Grayscale"?
I tried with the following details:
Target-Profile: Dot Gain 15%
Convert to Target Profile
Include Target Profile
If I do it this way I get:
Target Profile not included
Wrong numbers for my colors
(I tested with a self-made color wedge on the page for the percentages of Black shown below)
Seen in Acrobat Pro 10 with proof simulation "Dot Gain 15%":
100 % Black => 100 %
80 % Black => 82 %
60 % Black => 63 %
40 % Black => 43 %
20 % Black => 22 %
I could convert to "Dot Gain 15%" in Acrobat Pro's Preflight Panel, but this would show the same wrong percentages (just tested).
What I can do, however, is printing to PostScript with color separations, only color channel Black.
That would work, if I chose a Distiller setting, that will not change the color, to convert my separated PostScript file to PDF.
Seen in Acrobat Pro 10* with proof simulation "Dot Gain 15%" or any of the other available gray scale profiles.
(Acrobat Pro 11 might get this wrong due to a bug)
100 % Black => 100 %
80 % Black => 80 %
60 % Black => 60 %
40 % Black => 40 %
20 % Black => 20 %
This separated PDF (channel Black only) can now be converted with a self-made correction* in Acrobat Pro's Preflight Panel to a gray scale PDF/X-1a.
If done right * the color values stay as defined in inDesign.
Output in my case:
PDF/X-1a
OI: GrayScale profile Black ink of ISO Coated v2 300%
Tested with:
InDesign CC 2014.2
Distiller X
Acrobat Pro X
Mac OSX 10.7.5
Uwe
* There are several, convoluted steps necessary to get this (hope, I can remember them all):
Not optional:
Have a grayscale profile representing the channel Black of your intended output CMYK or generate one!
In my case the base CMYK profile was: ISO Coated v2 300%.
And I got a "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%" profile for Grayscale conversions by generating this with my PhotoShop app.
Maybe optional, but helpful:
Change the color settings of Acrobat Pro X to use the color settings file you generated in PhotoShop where:
Grayscale is defined as the black channel of ISO Coated v2 300%: "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%"
Mandatory, but somehow tricky:
Then on to the Preflight Panel of Acrobat Pro to generate a custom preflight profile.
None of the ordinary ones will fit exactly (at least in my Acrobat Pro X).
1. Make a duplicate of an already stored Preflight profile that converts color to Gray. Name it appropriately.
2. Include a single correction for converting to Gray Scale (at this time, or if you do something like that the first time, it's not possible to change or duplicate that single correction)
3. Save your new profile. Close the profile.
4. Open the profile again.
5. Now, suddenly it's possible to duplicate that single correction (converting to Gray Scale).
Do some changes, appropriate correction options, eg. adding "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%" as OI to the PDFs you will convert.
4. Use that duplicate single correction in your new Preflight profile.
5. Save your custom preflight profile.

Setting up Colour and Black and White in one document

I hope this is a stupid question. I am creating the school year book for the first time. It is 80 pages with a mixture of black and white pages and colour pages.
Do I have to set Indesign up any special way so that when it goes to the printers it will know this.
Can I have black and white masters and colour masters in the one document?
Do I need to gray scale all my (black and white images) in Photoshop first?
Do I need to do anything to the text to make it print in Black and white if I am using a black coloured font???
Thank you for your help.............it is greatly appreciated

>Do I have to set Indesign up any special way so that when it goes to the printers it will know this.
Maybe. How is it going to be printed? Have you talked to the printer about it?
>Can I have black and white masters and colour masters in the one document?
In a sense, yes. ALL pages in ID are color pages, but you can certainly set up masters where the only color used is Black.
>Do I need to gray scale all my (black and white images) in Photoshop first?
InDesign CS6 introduced export to grayscale PDFs, but that turns everything in the PDF to grayscale so you would need to export your color pages separately from the grayscale pages, then recombine in Acrobat pro, or send to the printer in separate files. You also need to set your Appearance of Black settings (in the prefs) to Output All Blacks as Rich Blacks if you are going to export to grayscale or your black type will be screened to a dark gray. Personally, I'd do the conversions in Photoshop so you can see and control what is going to happen and avoid the export hassles.
Grayscale content is output in the K channel of the InDesign file, and your screen preview may not be accurate unless you use overprint preview.
>Do I need to do anything to the text to make it print in Black and white if I am using a black coloured font?
Your text will print in whatever color is you choose for it. If you use the default [Black] swatch, it will output using only black ink.

Solution for printing black and white in acrobat

Hi,
Here was the problem :
I was trying to convert my colored pdf file to black and white but nothing was working. Others were having the same problem too (such as http://adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5454d ) and the topic was already archived so I could not post the reply.
I tried also to print as black (as it can be found at the bottom of the print button in the acrobat 8 ) but it just made my whole document black.
So, the solution
TO convert your color pdf to black and white and save it as black and white pdf do the following (I am using acrobat 8 )
1. GO to file > Print
2. Choose pdf from the printer
3. At the very bottom there is a button called "advanced" in the middle of "printing tips" and "summarize comments". Click the advanced button
4. In the advanced option, under output - there is an option called color and the next to it is written "composite"
Change it to "composite gray"
5. press ok and it brings you back to the main printing window
6. Now if you press ok it prints your file to black and white.
Hope this will help some people.

My biggest challenge is printing pdfs of schematic diagrams where color is used to signify "layers" in a drawing. Hardest one to read is "yellow" on white for lines or text.
I found a solution, however it may apply to my specific printer only (Sharp MX-2300N).
From the print dialog, select "Properties" next to the printer name.
From the priter properties popup, select the "Main" tab, and check "Black and White print".
From the "Color" tab, make these selections:
Color Mode: Select "black and white"
Color Adjustment: Check "Text to Black"
Color Adjustment: Check "Vector to Black"
Other printers may have similar configuration options.

Black and white printing using Gutenprint

My HP printer has no drivers in SL, but I can print using Gutenprint.
The Gutenprint FAQ says
For most users, the work-around is to set the Color Model setting to Grayscale. This is not the same as printing in black and white only, but it may give you what you want.
For those users who must use black and white only, the good news is that the Quartz Filter for Black and White still exists. It's just not tied into the print window. The easiest way to use the Black and White option is as follows:
Go to print the document. Use the item "Open PDF in Preview" item under the PDF Services drop down menu at the bottom left of the print window.
When the document appears in Preview, choose Save As... from the File menu.
You can either change the name or use the Replace option when prompted. Select the output format as PDF and use the Quartz Filter to select "Black and White".
Make sure you have the name and location to save the document as you want it. Click the Save button.
The resulting document will be in Black and White and you can print it normally.
I can guess what this means, but I am not certain, so I would be glad if someone has a definitive answer.
My guess is that Grayscale usually prints using the colour cartridge, but that following this procedure lets one print using the black cartridge only.
This is an important issue. Given the cost of colour cartridges, I only want to use them when I need colour, not for plain text.
I would also be interested to know the difference between the two colour modes available, labelled Color and CMYK, but this isn't so important.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion boards.
The product brochure for the DP-C213 shows that PostScript is an optional add on. Are you sure that you have the PostScript module installed? Without the optional PostScript module, you will only get the raw PostScript code when you use the PostScript driver.
The Gutenprint generic PCL drivers do not print color. They are grayscale only.
The product brochure for the DP-C213 does show that it comes standard with the PCL 6 printer module. The best color driver would be the pxlmono/pxlcolor driver. You can download all you need from http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/pxlmon o. You will need to install three packages. The pxlmono, Foomatic-RIP, and the Ghostscript package.
Now for the confusing part. When you go to set up the printer use the *"Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)"* driver. That will give you color printing. The OpenPrinting database is in error and only shows your printer to be a grayscale printer, so you *do not* want to choose the "Panasonic DP-C213 Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended)" driver. That driver will only produce grayscale printing.
EDIT: The URL for the product brochure is ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/business/office/brochures/DP-C213_Brochure .pdf

Lexmark C54x - True Black and White Printing

As shipped this 1200dpi color laser printer - C543dn works with Leopard over a network (yes!).
There is only one thing I wanted to do that was not obvious - how to force black and white even when printing originally color images, and make sure only the black toner is used. A lot of websites use color, of course, and you may not want to pay for that either in time or toner!! As you probably all know the quartz filter option has been removed in Leopard, so unlike "another OS" you don't have a simple printer-independent "print mode" setting to set to black and white.
After a lot of looking around for a manual which details the printer driver options (there isn't one - confirmed by Lexmark support) this is what I have puzzled out. BTW - There is an alternative approach that involves saving to pdf, and then using preview to resave the pdf with the quartz filter applied - but this is simpler if all you want to do is print.
Basic stuff - Printer Independent
You have to do the set up within "Print..." within in an application (like Firefox or Safari). When you select a Printer in the print dialog you can also use a Preset - it appears in the field under the printer name in the print dialog. To set up the profile the way we want it, first use the "downarrow" to the right of the printer name to access the extra print dialog options.
Now you need to get the Mac to turn everything color in the output to gray - you do this by finding the "Color Matching" option -- its in a pull-down list (half-way down the expanded dialog, in some applications that list starts with the app name (like "Mail"), sometimes its in a list that starts with "Copies and Pages" - each application chooses how this page looks, adding to the confusion). Inside that option, you select "ColorSync" radio button and find the "Generic Gray Profile" in the pulldown. This is the replacement for the quartz filter. But that doesn't mean the printer will only use Black toner... that would be too easy!
Printer Dependent bit - in this case Lexmark C543.
Now move to the "Printer Features" options (also in the list that has "Color Matching") and a new sub-list pulldown will appear - for the Lexmark it has "Quality 1" as the first option.
- In this sublist select "Quality 1" - set the Resolution field to 1200 dpi.
- Then select "Color" (still in the sublist) and set the Color Correction field to "Manual".
- Finally go to the "Manual Color" in the sublist and set all 3 of the RGB fields (Image, Text and Graphics) to "Display - True Black".
After doing all those settings, go to the Preset field pulldown (the one under the printer name at the top) and select Save As... Give it a nice name (Black and White, perhaps?). This way you can recall this preset and all the settings easily. For color you can just go back to the Standard preset.
Now you can print your monochrome masterpiece.
This way I definitely got black and white (grayscale output). Verifying that only black toner was used is not a slam-dunk but it looks like it was. Anyone who has better info on the printer driver and the correct settings (maybe this was overkill even?) please feel free to correct/enhance.
Hope this helps someone else.

I really like the printer. It is fast, and it was a breeze setting it up as a network printer. Built in duplex is also very cool.
The only drawback is that it uses a lot of toner, which gets expensive. So far I have gone through two black cartridges printing a little over 3000 pages. According to Lexmark, one cartridge is supposed to last 2500 pages, so that doesnt seem right. The pages I have been printing haven´t been THAT full.
But maybe this applies to other brands as well? This is the only color laser printer I have owned.
Anyone else with experience on this? I have been looking for toner refills, but so far no luck..
