Is the coax cable also the reason why I don't see the option in the nvidia software to clone the tv or enable tv mode? The tv has a video input, it does not say s-video input. The input on the tv does not have a 4 pin plug like the s-video input on my pc. Does that matter? Could the problem also be that I have Windows Vista? I was under the assumption that this setup should work, because my previous pc also had a s-video input and I used the same cable ( =3DA0= pc --=3D s-video cable -- coax cable -- tv) to connect to my tv and that worked perfectly. Regards By coax do you mean that you are using an s-video to composite converte= r =3D =3DA0and then running that to the TV? There should be a place in the control pan= el =3D of the Nvidia card that allows you to force TV detection. Even though a composite cable is considered a coaxial type cable, its n= ot =3D what most people consider coax, most here consider coax as the black 75ohm R= F c=3D able that is uses for cable tv or antenna hookups.- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk= be=3D richt niet weergeven - - Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht weergeven - Hi =3D46rom the video card on the pc I have a s-video small cable( 4 pin, 2 feet) that is connected to a long coax cable (about 20 feet). This coax cable is connected to the video input on the tv. In the control panel of the tv I dont see any partthat allows me to force tv detection. That is the weird thing. Someone told me that when I connect the s-video to the pc I should hear a sound ( meaning that the pc has recognized the cable). I live in the Netherlands and don't know if there is a different between a coax cable here or where you come from. On the cable is written coaxial cable rg-59u of bandridge. Hope you can help me out How are you hooking the RG59U cable to the svideo cable? via some sort of = RF modulator? RG59U cable is for antennas and cable TV hookups. It is not for baseband v= ideo like composite or s-video is. So i am ASSuming that you are hooking it up into the TV where your antenna= would hookup? =A0- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht niet weergeven - - Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht weergeven - Hi I am hooking the rg59u cable to the svideo cable through a small connector ( about 2,5 inches) on both side of this connector the svideo and coax cable is hooked The rg59u cable is connected to the video input channel on the tv on the frontside of the tv. The antenna (like you call it is allways connected to the tv on the backside. The antenna cable has a different connector then the coax cablecable. So I am talking about 2 different cables. The caox cable is not the antenna I am using for the tv. By the way this cable I have used with my previous pc to connect to my tv and that worked perfectly. OK, sounds like you are using an s-video to composite converter and using a composite cable with rca type jacks on the ends. Click on the NVIDIA settings icon on the bottom taskbar, then NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL then choose SETUP MULTIPLE DISPLAYS. If the TV is still not being detected you can force it to detect display.- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht niet weergeven - - Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht weergeven - Hi That is the main problem. The part to force tv detection is greyed out. I cannot use it. It seems like I don't have any cables connected from the pc to the tv set. The cable from the PC to the TV must be one cable and one cable only - no adapters allowed. The video card does not "see" the s-video connection because your inline adapter is blocking the signal it needs to initialize it. *The video card must "see" the TV connection thru the s-video cable to the TV direct, or you can connect a composite cable directly from the video card to the TV, then the video card will detect the TV. I don't know what signal the video card looks for on the s-video, but I do know that on composite, the video card looks for a 75 ohm termination from the TV before it can *initialize TV out.- Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht niet weergeven - - Tekst uit oorspronkelijk bericht weergeven - Hi Thank you for responding, Can you explain why I can use the same cables with my previous pc to connect to the tv set? So what you are saying is that there shouls be only 1 whole cable from pc to tv, and not 2 connected with each other like I have? |

Might be that your new PC card is more sensitive as far as detecting the signal from the TV than your last card. I have seen 2 identical cards used in the same PC, one would detect the TV, and the other won't. Might also consider that the composite cable may be too long and losing the signal before it gets to the PC because of length. S-video PC to TV s-video would give the best results, but I haven't tried that, nor do I know what the maximum length would be. One other thing. There have been many posts about Nvidia's detecting of the TV not working in Vista. Search this newsgroup for "TV out not working". |
