|
|
Simple question, will it do SECAM and PAL? Got a question from a fellow in Italy:
I am the owner of an ECP 4500. I found a video input board as replacement of the original one.
This board have a problem, when I put them in the set @ 576P-50hz the * command on the remote show 31.2Khz, 120hz??? and the image roll continuosly...
This is a new problem on me. I thought all video/Svideo cards are multiformat?

Hello,
I solved the problem, the new board work only with the scaler set to SYNC=CSY. The original one work perfectly with SYNC=H+V and SYNC=CSY.
Thanks .

Ah, you didn't tell me that you were using RGBHV in, I assumed you were using a video/Svideo card. Had I known you were using RGBHV, I would have told you to do that right away.

excuse me 
I assumed that 576P si possible only with RGBHV and not with composite/svideo.
I will be more precise next time.
thanks.

I agree with effecci on this one Curt. How did you think he'd get 576P via composite/svideo?

Speedreading. I read 'video input board' and 576. I missed the 'P'.

Thank you kindly for your answer, especially because I know you get tons of emails and It must be very difficult for you to reply them all.

That is indeed the problem, compounded by speedreading. I spent 6 hours yesterday answering emails, got my 'inbox' down from 186 to about 150. Today's goal..... under 100!
But to further your original question... the problem you had with separate H and V sync with the ECP is very common. No one really knows why composite sync works and H and V doesn't... on some sets only. It's not the input board, I swapped them about 5X when I first saw this problem, so a bunch of us just decided to live with it rather than trying to track the actual fault down.
