Using s video cable

i hooked up my powerbook through my tv, and it works, i watched quicktime files on the tv. I was wondering if their is a way so that when i edit with final cut pro, i can have the canvas window displayed on the tv. there is probably some setting that i have to change but i could not figure it out

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • No video using S-VIdeo cable and Universal Dock

    We tried using our Universal dock and my husband's Video iPod to view iTunes downloaded shows on our TV for the first time, and despite trying two different S-Video cables, we weren't able to get video (sound worked). Of course the warranty was up three weeks ago.
    Any suggestions? Is it worth buying the special Apple video cable?
    Thanks,

    Will just add to the above-are you 100% sure the iPod is completely seated in the dock?
    I had experience where I was getting only audio, reseated the iPod and got video.

  • Using s-video out on my Satellite L300D-13Y

    Hello there,
    i hooked up the laptop with my tv using a s-video cable (4metres) and a s-vhs to scart adapter.
    I chose the s-vhs input on the tv but when i choose "extend desktop to this monitor" i get the "do you want to keep this setting" confirmation dialog but the checkbox is automatically disabled. the tv doesnt show anything.
    in the screen chooser it got the two options
    1. pnp monitor (standard) with ATI mobility radeon HD3650
    2. not-pnp-monitor (standard) with ATI mobility radeon HD3650
    i got windows vista.
    Sorry for the poor translations my OS is in german.
    Other questions:
    What options do i have to get a s-video in and HDMI out on my machine, i only got s-video and VGA out.
    thanks a lot

    Hi
    If you connect the notebook to TV using s-video cable then you have to choose TV icon (and not external monitor) using the key combination FN + F5.
    >What options do i have to get a s-video in and HDMI out on my machine, i only got s-video and VGA out.
    This is not possible you cannot convert the analog signal in digital signal (s-video= analog; HDMi=digital) this is no possible.
    You can convert digital into analog but not analog to digital.
    You can try to use an VGA to HDMI converter. Google for that!

  • Component Video Cable and Bumper Case

    Just a head's up. If you have an iPhone 4 and a bumper case, the Component video cable will not fit properly when the bumper case is on. It inserts, but the cutout that fits the standard USB cable is too small for the plastic part of the cable that is larger on the Component Video cable.
    When I tried to plug it in, I did not notice this the first time and got the "This accessory is not compatible" message. I also got B&W video. When I took the case off and the cable seated securely, I was able to get 420p video from the video I took with the camera. NOTE - The Component cable only supports 420p when playing on an NTSC TV. I was also able to see YouTube at 420p. I did not try anything else.
    Hope this helps some of you avoid frustration

    Yes I do live in Europe. But who says that Component Video Cable is a standart from USA or Japan. I have been using Component Video Cables to connect my DVD Player with my video projector since 2002. Component Video Cables are wisely used in Europe. And its the ONLY analogue way of transferring HD-Video (Plus DVI and HDMI)
    What disturbs me alot is that on www.toshiba-europe.com they explain that my computer has:
    Interfaces 1 x headphone
    1 x DC-in
    1 x line-in
    1 x external monitor
    1 x RJ-11
    1 x RJ-45
    1 x i.LINK (IEEE 1394)
    4 x USB 2.0
    1 x Monitor-in (line-in port)
    1 x TV-antenna
    1 x S-Video-in (Composite/Line-in)
    1 x TV-out (s-video, Component-out))
    1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)
    Where is the Component-out ???Promise is a promise. Why do they say it if they dont give it?
    Instruction manual also says that : D-Video port lets you transfer 525i(480i),525p(480p),1125i(1080i) or 750p(720p) data to external devices.
    How can you transfer 720p with a Scart Cable?? It is impossible.... The only way that Qosmio can transfer 1280x720 picture is a Component Video cable.(Because it has no DVI port) How much does this cable cost anyway?? But the problem is NOBODY is producing it in Europe. I am writing to Toshiba-Japan. Since they are saying that my computer has Component-out so they must get me the cable....

  • 3000 K: Using S-Video Input

    I been trying to get Media Center to work with the S-Video Input ( but Im using the cable that changes it in composite that came with the PC )  but when I actually get it to work it shows in black and white.

  • Qosmio G20 = Component Video Cable and High Definition Videos With Pinnacle

    Dear Everybody
    I bought my Qosmio G20-120 from Poland which came with D-video to Scart cable. This cable is only capable of transferring Video (CVBS) signals which is pretty useless because Qoismio has S-Video Output already... Which is better than simple Video Output that I can get from Scart.
    According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio has supposed to have Component Video output. But it comes with Scart cable instead. I am still trying to get this Component Video to D-Video cable from the distributor. If I wont succeed, does anybody know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a component video to D-video cable out of D-Video to Scart cable?
    As last did anybody try the high definition DVB-S channels on Qoismio by using USB 2.0 DVB-S TV Card.Any opinions about Pinnacle PCTV 400e ??
    Thank You

  • Please confirm use of mini DVI-Video (s-video) cable with Macbook

    Hi,
    I have tried to use the Mini DVI-> Video cable with my new Macbook in order to be able to connect to my TV.
    Unfortunately it doesnt work, I do get the resolution change when I plug in the cable but nothing on the TV. I went back to the local Apple center and they tested the cable on a Powerbook G4, it worked flawlessly. Then they tried a monitor on my Macbook's DVI port, it also worked.
    But when trying the mini DVI to Video cable on the Macbook, no luck!
    Can anybody please confirm they have used this cable and connected successfully to a TV?? Using either the s-video option or composite?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Best Regards,
    Thomas
    G5 DP2.0, Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    I can confirm that the s-video connection to a standard CRT TV using the mini-DVI video adapter does NOT work with my MacBook.
    The display is detected, and when mirroring is enabled, the resolution on the MacBook display is adjusted, but the TV doesn't display the MacBook signal. Instead, I get a black screen or some random flickers of color. Following the instructions in the help files, I've adjusted the resolution down to its lowest level with no success.
    My guess is that this is related to the fact that the integrated graphics relies on system RAM, and I am running my machine with the stock 512 Mb RAM it shipped with (2 GB are on their way).
    On the off chance it would help, I even tried closing the display, in hopes that the memory savings from turning off the MacBook display would enable the TV signal, but no luck.
    Thomas, how much RAM do you have in your MacBook?
    Those of you who have been successful using external displays, are any of you using the stock 512 Mb RAM?

  • How can i use apple tv and iTunes movies with component video cables for an older receiver and projector?

    i have an older yamaha receiver and projector both without hdmi inputs but component video instead. I would like to get apple tv and start renting movies through iTunes but apple tv only supports hdmi and ive read that iTunes has codes to prevent the use ot analog cables with movies. Is there a way to adapt hdmi to component video for both apple tv and iTunes easily?

    Yes, HDMI is the only supported method. Also, with converters you will run into issues with HDCP (which will prevent you from streaming DRM content from iTunes etc) as well as resolution.

  • Can't connect 30gb to tv using the dock and a s-video cable need help

    Those videos play fine on your ipod? If yes, check to see if you select the correct input channel on your TV. Also check to see if your S-calbe has a broken pin.

  • Using ipad 1& component video cable to view hulu on the tv

    Bought component video cables from apple, hooked up to tv & ipad. No video from hulu. Any ideas? Have i exceeded the capability of this?

    Hulu has only activated their TV out through HDMI on iPad 2.
    Hulu has not activated TV out for component or composite cables on either iPad1 or iPad2.
    I sent an email to Hulu about this issue.
    The reason they gave me was that they are still trying to secure content rights to stream content to mobile devices that can stream content out of them to any video device.
    So, unless you have an iPad 2 using Apple HDMI connector to one of the new HDTV sets through HDMI, your, currently, out of luck.
    This may change, but do not know when.
    It's frustrating because Apple TV put works fine with NetFlix.
    I am a Hulu+ subscriber and feel like this should, already be a feature if I am paying customer.
    Hulu, right is like all the video apps from the networks.
    They just won't allow outputting the iPad video stream to your TV.
    All of the broadcast network apps do not have TV out capability so you can watch the content streamed through the iPad to whatever TV you own.
    It's frustrating and stubbornness on the the part of the major networks.
    I do not know they are not including this functionality?
    The still run commercials on these apps like regular network broadcasts.
    They should all just enable the TV out functionality.
    Our family stop using cable, I end up watching network news and shows on my 10" iPad screen instead of the signal being allowed to output through my iPads cable connector to my TV for viewing.
    Ridiculous!

  • Video cables Steve Jobs used??

    What kind of video cables did steve job used when showing the iPhone on big screen, showing the entire iPhone screen ?

    We have no clue. The cables were probably standard cables like the AV component cable, or the composite cable. The difference is that steve was using special iPhones which allowed him to use video out capabilities across all screens. This is not something that can be done with a normal iPhone.

  • Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

    Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

    if you by AUX mean composite or component then likely not as they would not be able to support a high enough resolution to do any type of airplay mirror
    hdmi should work though

  • Using iPad Composite Video Cable with Mini

    I have an Apple composite video cable that worked beautifully with my 1st generation iPad.  The 30 pin to lightning adapter will allow me to make the physical connections of that cable to my new Mini, but thus far I've been unable to get it to work.  Is this a lost cause, or can it be made to work?

    Thanks IIIass
    In reply
    - my iPod Touch is a 3rd gen so I referred to that guide, but have upgraded software on it to iOS5.1... so that may explain why the TV Out option has disappeared.
    - I normally use the AV leads for my Wii into my TV,  and so have taken those out and put the Apple leads in then gone to the "game" input screen option I normally use for the Wii. I then connect the iPod Touch to the composite lead, and then press play on the video. The screen is black with no sound ! 
    - I have a portable TV I can test if it has the AV lead input sockets.

  • Using S-Video w/ the Mini DVI to Video Adapter

    I just purchased a MacBook last week and I also purchased a Mini DVI to Video adapter for it so I can use the built-in DVD player to watch movies on my TV. I have a composite to composite cable and that worked fine when I connected the cable between the Mini DVI to Video Adapter and my TV. However, when I tried to use a S-Video cable and connected that between the Mini DVI to Video Adapter and my TV; then I got no picture at all. All I saw on the TV was a picture of the MAC desktop w/o the dock and the movie or nothing else played at all.
    Is the composite connection a better connection for the MAC, or, are there some settings I need to work with on the MAC to get the S-Video connection to work?

    I managed to figure this one out, by fluke. The MacBook has to be powered on and ready for user input prior to connecting the mini DVI to video adapter with the s video already connected to it, and to the TV. Once I did it this way, it worked fine. I just thought I'd share this.

  • DVI to Video Adapter: Using S-video vs. RCA output to TV

    I just purchased a DVI to Video Adapter for my MacBook Pro 15". I'd like to display iPhoto slide shows on my TV. Will there be a difference in picture quality on the TV if I output from the Mac (thru the DVI to Video Adapter) using an RCA cable versus an S-video cable?

    S-Video is the better of the two interfaces. Neither is very good when compared with a computer screen, which will have much higher resolution. I doubt you will notice much difference between S-Video and RCA Video but if you have the choice you might as well go S-Video.
