SUN AI24PO 24" LCD Monitor C-Viedo / S-Video Problem... No Image

We have few SUN AI24PO 24" LCD Monitors that are hooked up to Blade2000 and Blade2500 systems. These monitors have 1-Digital/DVI, 1-Analog/VGA, 1-S-Video, 1-C-Video inputs. The Digital and Analog inputs work fine but I cannot display anything that I feed to the S or C video inputs.
When we connect a (inspection/security) camera signal to the C-video or S-video input on these monitors, we cannot get an image. The Screen stays blue. Once or twice the image from the camera flashes and then disappears. For the image to flash again, I need to disconnect the c-video connector and wait for more than 30mins and reconnect.
I have verified the video signal and all my cabling on some of the newer 24' monitors and they all work fine.
It seems some of the earlier monitors have a problems with the S-video and C-video inputs.
Does anybody have see this problem on thier 24" SUN LCDs. Is there a fix.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

My post has started a more extensive discussion on this problem at an Ars Technica forum:
<http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=67909965&m=41 90936913&r=796009877731#796009877731>
It appears that the problem may be inherent in all PVA-based LCD's, which include the Dell 2405FPW. It's not noticeable by everyone but so far everyone I've seen who's taken the time to run an objective test has uncovered the lag. If you can run the test, please do! (See earlier in this thread, or see the Ars Technica thread for a better test involving a stopwatch program run on two monitors).
The good news is Apple's 23" Cinema Display is based on a SIPS LCD panel (as is a similar HP display, and I think a Sony display), and these don't suffer from the lag.

  • HT3964 For the past several months my MacBook Pro has been shutting down. I get horrible video with marks and striations acress the laptop screen and an additional monitor and the weird video problems until the multilingual notice comes up saying to shut

    I used two monitors, and several months ago the MacBook Pro started crashing frequently. It seems like it might be overheating. Sometimes the disks seems to race. I leave the computer on most of the time and it sleeps when I am away, but when I come back in the morning it will have colored striations across both screens, and soon the multilingual announcement comes up that I have to press and hold down the power key.
    Also, when using a progam like Skype video, the video goes insane frequently, with Skype windows freezing, video freezing, Skype window cutting in half, and eventually the computer crashing.
    It seems to be a video problem.
    What do I do?

    I would take some screen shots of the anomalies and take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar.  I you cannot reproduce the display problems, the screen shots will at least give them a start point for an analysis.
    Ciao.

  • Skype video not supported on external lcd monitor

    I would like to use the camera on my Apple LCD monitor with Skype, but video seems not to be supported.

    Seeing as how Skype is not an Apple product, you might have a much better chance of an answer if you go to Skype for help.

  • Auto-adjust on Compaq WF1907 LCD Monitor

    Auto-adjust on Compaq WF1907 LCD Monitor
    I have a vision problem and need to adjust the brightness on my Compaq WF1907 LCD Monitor to 30%. However, every time I turn the monitor 'ON' it performs an auto-adjustment which resets the brightness to 100%.
    How can I lock in the 30% or turn the auto-adjust off ?

    You can try locking the settings: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00850175&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...

  • Connect Sun Ultra2 to a Dell 19" LCD Monitor

    Hi
    Can you connect Sun Ultra2 to a Dell LCD Monitor 19" using a Sun Graphics adaptor HD15F
    Thanks,
    -Will

    The answer is probably "No".
    An Ultra-2 only has SBUS and UPA slots (no PCI slots), and few of the qualified graphics boards had HD15 connectors. There was no integrated graphics. All system administration could be done via command-line through its serial port.
    The default screen output of a Sun system is 1152x900 at a vertical refresh rate of 66Hz. The best you are likely to see on that PeeCee flat panel screen is a scrambled "something" that may eventually make your eyes hurt.
    When you say "Sun Graphics adaptor HD15F" are you are simply stating there seems to be a familiar graphics shape on the system or are you asking about some sort of adapter cable? That doesn't tell us the actual card that is in the system.
    Keep in mind that you are asking about hardware that is probably 15 years old.
    It may have been cutting edge back then, but it has been very much passed since that time.
    For a more precise answer, you will need to open the computer, remove the graphics board, and copy the part number from its barcode paper sticker. We would need the first seven digit (something such as 501-4790xxxx ).
    You could have posted this hardware question to the [Hardware Forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=828] you know, or even just search that forum for whatever you might need. This topic has been discussed over there many times in the past five or six years.

  • Connecting 2 LCD monitors to my Macbook?

    Hello Everyone.
    Ok, before I go poking around and stuff something up, can someone please answer my following questions. I am wanting to connect two LCD 22inch monitors to my Macbook Pro.
    1. How do I do this?
    2. Instead of buying Apple screens, are there any other good LCD monitors that will do just a good a job?
    Please help.
    Thanks....I love my MAC

    1. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/products/home.php
    check graphic expansion modules
    2. for serious work I would strongly recommend eizo monitors. current apple displays simply cant compete with them. They are very outdated and therefore overpriced. they have poor adjusting possibilities..in both picture and stands.

  • I just bought a recertified Mac Mini, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.

    I just bought a recertified Mac Mini core duo - it's not the newer model-, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it  and using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.
    The company I bought it from is not Apple, and I may regret that. It was in my price range, though.
    This is the first time I've used this community, and I've been a Mac owner since 2000. Thanks in advance!

    when you say "Mac flat screen LCD", do you mean this:

  • LCD Monitor with B&W G3 Tower

    Hello, I am looking to replace my 17" Apple Studio Display CRT on my G3 B&W Tower with an LCD monitor. My questions are: 1) Will my computer (VGA port) accept any current LCD screens on the market, or do I have to stay with Apple's LCD monitors? 2) There are several Apple Studio LCD Displays offered on eBay. They mention DVI and ADC connections. How do I know which models will work with my B&W G3? Forgot to mention that I have upgraded the processor with a Sonnet G4 500Mhz. Thanks.

    Hi,
    your B&W (like mine) should be equipped with a standard VGA output on your video card, which should accept any monitor with a VGA connection.
    I tried a couple of LCD (a Samsung and a Hewlett Packard) which worked flawlessly and did not give me any problems.
    I am not sure whether you can connect any of the current generation Apple flat screens due to the different interface, but you surely can take advantage of any VGA equipped LCD.
    cheers

  • Two 24" LCD Monitors with FCP / Motion

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with the new ATI Radeon 4890 dual DVI video card and one Apple 24" LCD monitor. I'm using this setup for primarily FCP/Motion work. Question:
    - Can the ATI Radeon 4890 handle two 24" LCD monitors, or do I need to purchase a second video card?
    - Can FCP / Motion handle two video cards?
    Thanks!
    lance

    Can the ATI Radeon 4890 handle two 24" LCD monitors
    ABSOLUTELY. There are two monitor connections on the card. One DVI, the other the Apple connector.
    Can FCP / Motion handle two video cards?
    Yup. Most FCP workstations I have been on, and personally own, are two monitor setups. That is a fairly typical setup.

  • External 1920 x 900 LCD Monitor on MBP

    I am wondering if I connect an LCD monitor that has a 1920x900 native resolution, if I can get that resolution when it is connected to my MBP?

    Yes. The MacBook's video card can drive an external monitor up to 2560x1600.

  • Hyundai LCD monitor won't work with OS9

    New Hyundai LCD monitor -dual input. Works fine with Windows XP, & with OS 10 but when I boot into OS9 the screen goes black, & the screen's menu button won't work.

  • 32" LCD Monitor - Best Resolution???

    Hello all -
    I just bought an Olevia LT32HVE LCD monitor to use with my G5. I'm wanting to find the best resolution setting so that it won't be horizontally whacky, yet still a good amount of real estate on the screen. At the recommendation of a friend who has a 42" monitor, I downloaded Display ConfigX so that I could change the default settings. After registering and installing, I changed the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1280x720 as my friend suggested. The resolution now LOOKs OK, but it's a bit large for my taste. I'd like to get a bit more real estate on the screen by making the overall image more condensed. The LCD manual says that it's highest resolution is 1366x768, but when I tried that, the monitor blanks out (to blue) and says the rate is not supported. Probably has something to do with the refresh rate as well? I then have to hook up a second monitor just to get the large one to come back (viewing-wise).
    Any suggestions on some resolutions that this LCD monitor will be able to use? Or am I missing a key factor?
    Thanks -
    G5 Dual 2.0Gig   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I was able to get the monitor to work at 1360x768 @ 60hz, but it looked a little rough around edges. Looks better at 1280x720 in terms of clarity and sharpness. But it's still the exact same size (at least, viewing-wise) as 1280x720.
    Is there any way to get more real estate happening? Even though it's not horizontally crazy now, it's overall still very large.
    Thanks -

  • DVI.I to VGA LCD monitor

    Hi Everyone
    Is there anything to gain by using the DVI connection on my MSI FX5900XT graphics card
    to the VGA port on a  DELL 19" LCD Monitor ?
    I was just wondering as the card came with an adaptor DVI/VGA so I can use either output on the card.
    At the moment I am connected VGA to VGA
    cheers

    Apple didn't ship a 2.4GHz MacBook until February of 2008. If that's the model you have, or an earlier model, it has a mini-DVI port which would take the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. To confirm, run System Profiler, click on the Hardware heading at the very top of the left-side list, and tell us what the Model Identifier reports.
    Regards.

  • External LCD Monitor Connection - Unacceptable Quality

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a Mac, hoping that I would be able to connect to my external LCD monitor (19" Samsung SyncMaster 920NW - only VGA connection).
    I have easily hooked up my monitor to my Mac. However, what I see is of unacceptable quality. When compared to Macbook display, the display on the external monitor is darker and the text looks horrible. I have played with few settings but nothing good.
    I have read other threads where people complain about similar things. But, I thought Samsung's monitors would be of higher quality. Mine is a relatively cheap LCD but not this cheap
    I am just willing to confirm that I am not missing anything. I simply can't believe that the display quality could be this bad. In the worst case, I will have to buy a new LCD.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello stedman1,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Unfortunately, it is not running in the Mirror mode. The display with the mirror mode was even worse! But after reading the posts in the forum, I have learned how to change it to the extended display. It is better than the mirror mode, but still not good enough.
    Maybe I am making a mistake comparing the external monitor with the MacBook's monitor?? There is a huge gap between the two. It is a lot darker, and the text quality is way worse.
    Someone with a similar monitor having solved this issues?
    Thanks,
    Guven.
