problem connecting tv to video card
I have connected my tv to my ati 9200 video card via s-video cable and the picture is black and white for some reason. What might the problem be? Also what should the refresh rate be?
the tv is apex pf3225 thanks |
I also had the same problem with a nVidia TNT2 based card.
I even tried tvtool which is known to be the best tool to connect a VGA card to the TVset but no way... The card had a jumper to set between PAL and NTSC but it was in the right position. I never knew what I was doing wrong ren... Maybe someone can give us a hand. Cheers |
Hi ren,
Did you try connecting it via Composite video, and see if it's still BW :?: -kwag |
hi kwag, the video card doesn't have a composite jack. I installed tvtool not knowing that it only supports nvidia based chipsets. Is there a tool like this for ATI ?

I didn't find anything :( If you find it yourself send me a PM :wink: Cheers |
Where do you plug the cable on TV side ? In a S-Video outlet or using the SCART outlet ?
IF it's the scart, it is S-Video compatible ? Not all the SCARTS on a TV handle all the signals. Mine for instance has 3 SCARTs, and 1 is composite/S/RGB, second is S/composite and third composite only. |
Mine Radeon9000pro VIVO has S-Video outlet, but my box retail version was with cros conectror S-Video -> composite. You have one :?:

Interesting, Phil. I wasn't aware of that. I though that if I have a Scart then it has all the features. Thanks for clarifying that. I'll look into my TV set owner's manual. Cheers |
hey Rui,
I got it working now. I just had to adjust some settings in the control panel. I went to Display > Settings > highlight monitor #2 then Advanced > Displays > Tv > Format > ntsc. There's also an app that is on the Ati cd called "Hydravision" this lets you configure the desktop to your tv. ren |
Hi Ren,
Thanks for the tip. I'll try that when I bring the TV set back to my "office-room" (can't find a better description for it :lol:). Cheers |
