MSI NX6200AX-TD256H S-Video output only

I have bought MSI NX6200AX-TD256H card. I wasn't able to switch it to the composite video TV out mode, as I was used to in previous models ( the driver offers just S-Video, Automatic and Component modes). So does this card really lack the composite video out or is it perhaps broken? Thank you.

Have you checked the resolution/TV type in the Displays preference pane once the TV is connected? If your PB is detecting your TV as PAL rather than NTSC (or vice versa), that could certainly cause a loss of colour like you describe.

[SOLVED]X11 video output only with ati open source drivers

Hi everyone,
my nvidia graphics card died recently and I replaced it with an ATI Radeon HD 4870, which in hindsight might have been a mistake.
I installed the catalyst driver at first, ran into some problems, finally decided to switch to the open source xf86-video-ati driver. Followed the ati wiki, but ended up with X11 video output only. Can't watch anything full screen, general performance is sluggish. The output of xvinfo is:
screen #0
no adaptors present

Video output only black & white

The video output on my Macbook Pro is now only black and white; last week it was fine (in full color). Any ideas?

Thanks, but that's not the problem. The main screen on the Macbook is fine, but the video output is black and white. So, for example, when mirroring the screen, I get a color version on the Macbook, and a black and white version on the TV (and it's not a problem with the TV).
Any other suggestions or ideas?

Upgraded RAM on MSI K8N Neo2 lost video output?

I have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mainboard with 1gb ram, started to get blue screen problems and acertained it was a ram module causing this. I decided I would upgrade and have bought some Corsair XMS3200C2Pro ram 2 x 512mb. Installed and rebooted, no video just the flashing green on the monitor switch. I have checked the graphics card but it is still seated and all the cables are firm. Tried taking new ram out and putting old back in - no joy.
Weird thing is I am sure it reboots into windows (my msn get logged out on my laptop) and it sounds like its going through the process but no visuals at all not even bios flash screen.
Any ideas???? I have tried google but nothing there that helps.

This may work. Try taking out the new Corsair Memory and inserting one stick in slot #1 (closest to cpu) of old memory that you know works. Reset cmos real carefully (disconnecting power, moving jumper, etc. exactly as in the manual). If it boots, hit del to enter bios, choose optimized defaults, then go into dimm voltage and raise to 2.75 (ignore any red flashing warning or use 2.7 if you are afraid). F10 and save. Shutdown before reboot. Disconnect power, open case, insert your corsairs. reconnect power. hopefully this works. [Is any extra power connector required for gpu properly attached?] good luck.

Re: MSI R9 390 - No video output

For me seems like incompatibility with your Dell motherboard.

Quote from: Svet on Yesterday at 11:02:33test the card in another computer to ensure that's working
if its fine, then issue is your mainboard, some kind of compatibility issue
and you have to ask Dell about it

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

Force only digital or only analogue video output?

is there any script or terminal command to force the mac mini to only output analogue video signal or only digital video signal? I have a dvi Y splitter that splits the DVI out to VGA and DVI. When using windows XP under bootcamp I can choose which signal to output (digital or analogue) under the graphics control panel. If i choose digital the video signal only gets sent to my DVI monitor, leaving m LCD with no signal. If i choose analogue the video signal only gets sent through VGA to my LCD TV. Is there a way to do the same thing under Mac OSX Leopard? This way I do not have to constantly unplug cables when switching between doing work on my monitor and watching movies on my LCD tv.
Also, if this is not possible does anyone know where i can buy a DVI A/B switch box. Something that allows me switch between two displays when outputting video from the mac mini. I have looked around the net and all I find are things that split the signal between two displays or KVM switches that allow one monitor to use computer sources. These are things im NOT looking for. All im looking for is a simple DVI A/B switch so that i can switch viewing between two monitors when using my mac mini.

Details about the sound system can be found in the relevant document here.

K8N Neo Platinum: no video output, long beep and long wait, led 3 green

I have a K8N Neo Platinum for about 4 years without big problems. Two days ago I dismounted teh pc to clean and put a new HD and when I mounted again it did not work.
Problem:
Quote
* System hangs and no video output;
* Speaker keep making long beep followed by long rest;
* D-Bracket LEDs are 3 green and 1, 2, 4 red meaning it hangs somewere near teh keyboard controller initialization;
What I have tried:
With no change:
Quote
* Taken off everything from teh MB and put back only CPU, PSU, RAM, VGA and plugs for power and reset switch;
* Turn on teh MB out of teh case;
* Clear teh CMOS setting JBAT1 and by removing battery;
* Tried all possible combinations of one and two RAM sticks and slots on MB;
* Take out all of teh RAM;
* Take out VGA;
* Take out RAM and VGA;
* Switched VGA;
* Switched PSU;
With little change:
Quote
* Take out CPU: make all four leds red and no beep.

I have already had some problems like this before with power failures but magically things worked again. This time was teh same. I got things working some times at random (really random lol) by taking power cables, reseting bios and turning back on but teh problem reapeared when I put HDD back and did not work again when I removed it. Now I can't seem to get it to display anything.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: sry I made a little confusion: It is a K8N Neo and not a K8N Neo2.

Keyboard problem, you think? What do you have?
Two things that are quite common:
Do not attach PS2 keyboard when there is power in the system.
Do attach USB keyboards when you are up and running in Windows.
This is not it, but Logitech keyboard drivers often complicate things.
I do use a PS2 kbd but never had problems with it (unlike teh PS2 mouse). I do not think it's kbd fault because it won't POST with or without it.

Media Live multiple video output

I am considering buying a Media Live barebone as my HTPC. The only thing holding me back is determining whether or not I am able to output to 2 different monitors as 2 separate displays.
My goal is to mount a touchscreen monitor (encased in a custom picture frame) on a wall to act as a hub for my media center. It would connect to the Media Live HTPC via VGA to show the XP MCE interface. I would be able to control audio and video from this monitor. Also, when not in use, it would scroll through pictures in the screen saver. The HTPC would then connect to my receiver via HDMI. It would output audio and video to my LCD TV.
So basically, what I am looking to do, is control audio and video output to my TV from my touchscreen monitor. If this is not possible, I could deal with displaying the same output on both the touchscreen and the TV, however I wish to use HDMI to keep high quality output. So, I run in to the issue of my touchscreen monitor not having an HDMI port.
Any ideas?

I am not absolutely sure if I got you right, but the MSI Media Live barebone IS able to run two displays at the same time. I have got my HDTV connected via HDMI (signal passed through my Yamaha RX-V863 receiver) and a small touchscreen display via VGA, too at the same time. I think they cannot show different information at the same time but you can clone the screen on both displays.
You just should not forget that most VGA displays cannot show full HD resolution, so if you do not own a receiver for upscaling your HDMI signal to full HD you will have to enjoy your video on TV in the same resolution as on the VGA touchscreen (mostly 800x600 pixels => 720p). But with a AV receiver connected for upscaling the signal you can show information on a small touchscreen and (cloned) information on your HD TV in full HD at the same time.
There is only one thing that sucks: If you want to switch off or on your TV while the barebone is already running, you will get a video driver error since you "unplug" or "plug" a non usb device while the system is running. So the video driver will be restored and you will have to repeat the procedure of activating the TV output and cloning the touchscreen's signal onto the TV (if you have bad luck you will even have to reboot the system before you can use the TV for cloned video output since the OS will not recognize the TV any more without a restart). By the way you can avoid this problem when you are using a AV receiver by keeping the receiver switched on while the barebone is switched on because then the output source will not vanish and Windows will be "satisfied".

How connect a 27 cinema display to HP Pavilion with VGA video output

how connect a 27 cinema display to HP Pavilion with VGA video output

If it is a thunderbolt version of the apple 27" display, you don't. The TB displays can only work with a TB source.
I also think you are out of luck with the mini-displayport versions of the apple 27" as well. This would imply converting an analog VGA output to a digital input of the 27". I suspect that there is not enough data supplied by VGA for that to work and I do not believe any adapters exist for this.

Vga or dvi to video output to NTSC TV viewing

GEAR: I have a G4 dual 1.25 (silver double doors) with an ADC and DVI output in the back.
OBJECTIVE: I need to go from that to an NTSC TV so I can see what my edits look like.
NOT SURE: I have seen the Apple adapter (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/7200505/wo/0K4TK pkMz7f922WszZYxFQMUy31/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3) but it says it is for the MAC mini and the G5 only... does that mean it won't work for me?
OPTION B: Is getting a video card with an RCA or S-video output a better idea? If so which one? I am using both the ADC and DVI ports for two monitors, but would nuke one if necessary because I have to get this TV viewing capability up and running.
OPTION C for CANOPUS: I have also thought about the Canopus ADVC 100 or 300 so I can capture video from sources other than my DV Sony DSR-30. Right now, I have to record everything (everything that isn't DV) to DV on the DSR-30 before turning around to send it via firewire for capturing in FCP. Would the Caopus ADVC 100 or 300 also solve the TV viewing problem as well?
THANKS: in advance

Firewire to a DV/analog converter to your NTSC monitor. The only way for DV.
the DV/Analog converter can be either a dedicated converter (eg Canopus), a DV VTR deck (eg Sony DSR-11) or a camcorder.
the other options are not what you need.

S-video output B&W

Hi,
From time to time I like to connect my PowerBook to TV thorugh S-video (using adapter S-Video to scart) to watch movies with friends etc.
Though, it has been some time (over half a yar) when I last watched a movie on TV that way. Since I know for sure that I have been able to connect my pb to tv via s-video with no problems I can't understand whats wrong now.
Here's the thing. When I connected my PB to a TV now, it shows the picture in black&white on the TV. Anyone know how to get back the colour image? I have the same cable set that I used before to connect to tv (latter is the same one also) without any problems - full colour. So, I think the problem is software-related (maybe os x update).
Can anyone recommend what to do to get the colour back?
cheers,
r. pello
P.S. PB's lcd screen works fine. So, problem only with s-video output colour.

IMac G5 iSight - Resolution problems when using s-video output.

Good afternoon all.
I have an iMac G5 and the only video output it has is a mini VGA socket. I have used this with a mini VGA to S-Video converter cable from Apple and am getting some odd results.
The Mac is running Leopard 1.5.7 and I'm outputting to a fairly old Panasonic CRT TV.
The problem I find is that when I plug in my mini VGA adaptor to the Mac it reduces the resolution on the Mac screen down to 1024x768 (stretched). The TV outputted TV image looks great, but I can't seem to keep my native resolution of 1440x900 on the Mac display.
If I do go and change the resolution in "displays" in the sys' prefs' then it just seems to keep the 1024x768 resolution on the Mac but this time without stretching it.
Does anyone know how I can keep my Mac at its native resolution of 1440x900 while still outputting to s-video to the TV?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again in advance.
Stuart

Hi
I have the same config as you: I have been using it for years to view on my tv dvds or videos from the web.
To my knowledge there is no way to acheive what you wish: when you plug the adaptor in the mac adjust to your output source and its main display (the g5 display) will reflect that with the result that it becomes very difficult to use.
Maybe there is a way to try changing the resolution in a middlle"configuration" which would give an acceptable viewing on the tv as well as on the g5.
Personally I keep plugging and unplugging the adaptor as needed.

HD video output on TiBook?

Is there any way to get my TiBook 400 MHz (15 inch) to output at HD resolutions? I just bought a new 1080p HDTV, and I can output using S-video to the TV', but then the resolution on the big screen TV looks crappy.
My TiBook also has a VGA port, and I've output to projectors to give presentations many times. . . but there is not VGA input on my HDTV. . . only composite video (ie: non-HD), S-video (same), component (HD), or HDMI.
Is there such a thing as a VGA to HDMI (or component) adapter? And, if I were to use it, would my I be able to get High-def resolutions on my HDTV from my TiBook?
Thanks.

Hi, dgalvan. No, your old Powerbook doesn't have any digital video output capability, and its 8MB of VRAM can't support 24-bit color at any resolution higher than 1280 x 960 on an external monitor or TV, regardless of how it's connected.
EDIT: However, you do have one of the only PB G4 models whose video can be upgraded with a CardBus add-on. For somewhat more than your Powerbook is worth, you can add a DVI port to it and increase its maximum output resolution to the HD level. I can't help you with any of the details or side issues (notably how to get audio to the TV) because I don't know diddly about HDTV.
