Unsupported Video Signal Help

I'm trying to set up and old Nintendo to my TV. It doesn't have regular AV cable ports, but it has composite cable ports. There is no input as 'AV', but it gas this thing called 'ColorStream HD'. I've tried to set it up through that, but the screen says 'Unsupported Video Signal'. I've tried to set it up with my Wii with the AV cables and it worked, but its like a black and white screen with little to no sound. So the video for the Wii works, but not my NES. Is there something that I'm doing wrong, or is my old console too old to be supported by new TV?

It won't work. ColorStream HD is expecting a HD signal of at least 480p and you're trying to send an SD signal from a composite output. You will have to try to find some type of adapter instead, perhaps like this:

Here's a little more info on ColorStream:

Unsupported Video Signal

Have a 47TL515 3D tv. Plugged in a VHS player and it shows the picture fine, but there is an error message on the bottom in a big grey box that reads "Unsupported Video Signal". How do I get rid of the box? It won't go away.

So is this forum to post our issues with new Toshiba products? Do Toshiba support employees even monitor or use this site? Or is it just a place for digruntled users to cry on each others shoulders?
I may have found a temporary fix to my problem. Was trying to watch another VHS tape with this annoying "Unsupported Video Signal" box on the screen and decided I couldn't take it anymore. I switched the RCA adapter I had plugged into Video 2 with the adapter plugged into Video 1. Switched input so now I was viewing VHS playback on Video 1. Same problem. Big gray Unsupported Video Signal box still there. So I switched them back, so VHS is now plugged into RCA plug adapter in Video 2 slot. All of a sudden the big gray box is gone! And it stayed that way! Was able to enjoy a whole movie without it coming back. And now, a day later, after shutting everything down last night and turning it back on tonight, the big gray box is still missing. Yay!
Thanks for nothing Toshiba.

Re: "Unsupported Video Signal" when connected to TV.

i have a toshiba regza, model 42rv530u. i am getting the same unsupported video when i try to play games or some videos. i have made sure my resolution is set with the tv but noticed my video card is not reconnizeing the tv , has it listed as unidentafied monitor. i had down loaded a driver for a older pc to this tv a few yrs back . the pc i'm hook up to now is new. can anyone point me to a down load for this tv . Thx

I think the problem is the RESOLUTION of the TV when used as a monitor. My first computer connected had the highest resolution of 1280x1024, 60Hz -- but the options I was able to get from the Toshiba TV were different.
Strangely enough, if I connect a normal 2nd monitor, I will get an image on the Toshiba TV and can use it as a computer monitor. But if I disconnect that 2nd monitor it goes back to saying: 'Unsupported video signal.'
I wish there was a way to set the pc/computer resolution for the Toshiba TV through it's menu...
Still can't get it to work by itself.

Help - Changed BIOS settings, now no video signal

Please help -- I changed my BIOS settings to "High Performance Defaults" and configured my boot sequence, etc. Now I get no video signal when I boot.
Thanks,
-RE

I presume you mean you can't get back into bios by holding down DEL. quickest way is to reset the JBAT1 jumper. /take power lead from PSU, remove JBAT1 from pins 1 & 2, put jumper on pins 2 c& 3 for 5 secs, then pur it back on pins 1 & 2, put power lead back in, Boot, this will reset bios to defaults, you will need to enter setup at prompts and set your boot sequence etc. Did you have turbo on as well as high performance? Better using Safe defaults, then using core center to see what you can set it up to.

When i turned the computer on for the first time, the system boots up and there is one small beep, sounds like it is posting, but I get no video signal from my monitor, which I checked on my other computer and is working fine, I tried both video cards in the 1st slot, in non-sli mode and I get the same result each time, so I get no video signal with all ways tried? Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello, welcome to forum.

have you tried with one of them only into 1st PCI-E? use 1st DVI output, when using SLI, ensure SLI bridge is configured property, connect monitor to VGA onto 1st PCI-E slot. also check monitor output is configured property(etc: Input 1, Input 2).
power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU and Clear CMOS Guide
re-test.
ensure all power cables are connected property. try to boot with one memory stick only into slot close to CPU socket.
what D-bracket shows?
"Do I not have enough power in this PSU to run what I have? The video manufacturer suggests a 450W PSU, which I meet, but do I not have enough juice the 12V rails? And would this cause the no signal?"
yes, think is too weak for your system
its recommended to get single rail with high amperes on +12V (over 30A)
read here:
PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth
Is your problem caused by your PSU?

No video signal on projector (Lion, MacBook Pro)

Hi guys
since I've update to Lion (10.7.2), I have problems getting a video signal via mini-DVI / VGA to certain projectors. I'm using a Mac Book Pro (end of 2008). I have never encountered similar problem with previous versions of Mac OS X. Restarting the MacBook or the projector doesn't help. Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Thanx
fweth

I also update to Lion from 10.6.8.. My Dell 3300MP projector worked fine with Snow Leopard. Then with Lion, there is occassionally scrambled signal, but most of the time no signal.. Tried restarting projector, restarting computer, turning mirroring off and then on, but no help. I am running an early 2011 13" MBP.. Really frustrating for someone who does lots of presentations and teaching.

Video Capture help...I can't be the ONLY one with this problem!

Warning: Long post ahead!! I just want to make sure I'm providing detailed, complete information on my predicament. =)
Okay...I am using a PowerBook G4 15" running OSX 10.4.8. I recently picked up the Canopus ADVC 110 in order to capture video from my game consoles...this is something I was doing a lot of for a LONG time with the graphics card on my desktop PC. But the card is pretty old now and the screenshots it takes don't always look so good anymore, plus I thought it would be cool to be able to do this with my laptop, since then it's like having a portable TV. The Canopus works...more or less. But I have some problems...
The first is the lag. I have a splitter so I can output the S-video signal from the console to both my TV and other devices at the same time, and I've noticed there is a delay with the signal reaching my Powerbook screen through the Canopus (when doing the same thing with the PC graphics card, there is ZERO lag time between the TV and the PC). One of the reasons I wanted to do this - as I mentioned above - is to have another screen for gaming; my friends and I often have lan parties or simply have more than one game being played at the same time with a large group. The delay in the video/audio signal reaching the screen through the Canopus is very small, but in a fast-paced game it's crippling.
Second problem is that I have had a very hard time finding a program that will simply let me view the video in full-screen. The REAL-TIME video, that is...I want to view in full-screen (or at least a really big window, if not ACTUALLY full-screen per se) as the video is coming in. Plenty of programs will let me record a clip and watch that in full-screen, but the incoming signal is constrained to a little tiny viewer window. Again, this is important for the "portable TV for video games" idea.
Third problem: video quality. So far, the best quality has been obtained by iMovie, and for still captures, simply using OSX's screen grab function (shiftapple3 or 4) on iMovie, but even then everything still looks kinda grainy and fuzzy, the incoming video and the screengrabs. I tried a couple download programs, including BTV, which looked promising but turned out to be dissapointing with horrible screenshot quality and video quality in it's weird, screen resolutiong changing phony full-screen mode. All the screenshots I took with BTV have all these horizontal lines running through them. It's especially bad if the shot has any kind of movement in it.
SO...I have overall been very surprised and frustrated at how hard it has been to do this. Especially considering how easy it was on my Windows-based PC. I just bought an ATI card with S-video and audio inputs, and it came with a program that allowed me to view video in full screen, record clips, and take stills all in the same program, with decent quality (stuff looks a little washed-out, especially now that the card is three years out of date, but it doesn't have fuzziness or lines like all the screens I've taken with the Canopus do) and absolutely zero lag time. With my newer, sleeker Mac laptop (and it's a MAC...the graphics/video/creative stuff powerhouse) it seems to be nigh impossible.
I don't need a program with lots of fancy editing options, which all the ones I have tried seem to have. I just want to be able to view the incoming video in full screen, and take screenshots and clips with good quality.
And elmininate the lag, if possible! I don't know if this is an issue with the Canopus (or would be an issue with ANY similar device) or if it's something that could be solved with a different program. Any and all help is appriciated!!
PowerBook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm using the tools which fullfill my needs best.. so, if the PC offers you "better" results, use it.. no dogma..
delay: sure, the electronics have to digitize the video.. a process of high computation = time/delay ..
quality: a TV signal fills about a quarter of my Mac's screen (or less) .. looking at it in "fullscreen" you have to blow up.. .every pixel get 4x4 pixel = low quality...
and: you go from digital to analogue to digital .. there HAS to be a loss of quality ...
BTV offers full-screen, doesn't it..?

HP w2207 Monitor - "No Video Signal" After Power Outage

My mother has a Mac Mini - 2009 model - that I bought her. It is connected to an HP w2207 monitor I used to have with a mini-display port to DVI [I think, either that or VGA] adaptor. She lives 2 1/2 hours away.
Last week there was a power outage and ever since she cannot get her system to work. Her monitor says "No Video Signal" and then goes to sleep.
I worked with her for over an hour on the phone trying to fix this problem (oh what fun). Tried every combination of things I know to fix it. It seems from her description that the Mac Mini is not actually booting. When I have her turn the computer off by (press the power button, wait, press it again), she reports that she will here the disk drive spin up for 10 seconds but then no more activity. The green light is on, but that is it.
I had her reset the SCM, but that didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bryan

See if the Mini will boot from the install disk. If it does, have your mom use Disk Utility to repair her internal hard drive. Repeat running repair until Disk Utility gives the disk a clean bill of health. Then repair permissions.
Disk Warrior can sometimes repair things Disk Utility can't. However, it's possible the internal directory is beyond help. In that case, erasing the internal disk and reinstalling the system will be necessary. It's also possible that the disk itself or electronic components in the Mini have been damaged which would require repair at the Mac hospital.
You might want to consider buying your mom a UPC.

Connection MACBOOK PRO to Philips LCD: NO VIDEO SIGNAL

Hello all,
I recently both a Philips LED TV, type: 40PFL8605H/12.
I have a MACBOOK PRO from 2007.
I would like to use this MACBOOK PRO as a media server on the TV.
I have connected the MACBOOKPRO via DVI-VGA connector to the VGA input of the Philips TV.
Result; I get 'no video signal'-message on the TV screen. I recently connected the MACBOOK to a beamer and it worked perfectly.
Although, the TV say's 'no video signal' the display system preferences does recognizes the TV. It say's PHILIPS FTV and a different number of resolutions.
I have tried them all, the result stays the same.
I'll tried the Philips helpdesk and the answer was that everything seamed to be connected ok...so, no use full help there (yet)
'Google-ing' around did not give an answer either.
Anybody here with use full tips?

Thanks a brody,
I'll get me one of those cables and give it a try...
are you sure it should work then? i see a lot of discussions and people with the same problems...
I was first thinking to buy a new mac mini to use it as my 'home-server' and as multi media player.
However, my 'old' macbookpro is also getting 'ware-out' and is subjet for replacement for profesional purposes...
If I could use my good old macbookpro as media/server, it would save me a couple of euro's...
Can you (or somebody else) advice me... my old macbook as media server and a new one as profesional lap-top or upgrade my old macbook (new harddisk extra memory) and mac mini as home server and media player...
of course, first criteria is to get my old macbook hooked-up to my TV ...
thanks for the advice...
cheers

Recieve signals from WLAN NIC, decode and produce video signal from VGA or Composite Video out

i am trying to broadcast some MPEG4 video messages over a WLAN and display them on TVs and LCDs. i need to develope an interface between the wireless NIC and the display modoule. this interface has to be able to collect the information, decode the information to reproduce a video signal on a VGA socket or a normal TV composite video socket. does anyone has any ideas how i can achieve this?? please help me!! thank you!

Hi,
Assuming that you are trying to use LabVIEW to achieve this, I believe that it will be simplest if your wireless NIC exposes an ActiveX interface that LabVIEW can use.

Ntsc video signal to image file with PXI-5114?

Is it possible to use a PXI-5114 digitizer to capture a NTSC video signal and reconstuct a single frame to be saved as an image file?

Hi Jason,
I think the example Kyle posted is for the NI 5112 digitizer, which has to use an IMAQ board to video trigger since it does not support video triggering. However, the 5114 is one of the boards that does support video triggering, including the NTSC format. More information can be found in the digitizers help manual (online here). If you are using LabVIEW, we have a basic video triggering example that you can take a look at and try out (the example is called "niScope EX Video Triggering.vi" and can be found from the LabVIEW Example Finder or by going to Start » Programs » National Instruments » NI-SCOPE » Examples from your Windows start menu). If you need to acquire the entire frame, that will probably require you to sample a very large amount of data, in which case you may or may not be able to stream it to disk. In the best case, you can acquire the entire frame in a single record without having to do any streaming to disk. Otherwise, you may need a digitizer that can stream high throughput to a hard drive RAID or something of the sort if you plan on acquiring a large amount of data. Worst case is that it is just too much data, too fast, and it cannot be streamed. Perhaps with more details of the signal and your expected sample rate, we may be able to provide some additional guidance on the possibilities of acquiring the entire frame. Hope this helps!

Hello Yusuf,
I have a PXI system with a PXI-1411 and IMAQ Vision and NI-IMAQ. I'm using this card to acquire the video signal from a DVD.I'll like to develop an application with LV able to check frame by frame if my received signal is arriving in good conditions.This application should be able to detect if there's some frozen picture effect or if the DVD unit shows are incorrect pictures. I have no idea how to launch this project and if it can be done. Could you give me some idea or tell me the link of somewhere to find this? By the way, I have a PXI-8176. Thank you very much.
