Ive been using my crappy old acer to watch movies and stuff on my tv snd the intergrated graphics couldnt run the higher resolutions so I Used my old desktop which has a HD3650. Im using svideo to component to connect to a SDTV and every time I connect its red and green. Barely any color at all.. I know that intel intergrated graphics arent better than my HD3650's when it comes to TVoutput.
red and green? What happened to blue? Sure you connected the component leads right? Is the signal set correctly in catalyst?
I dont know. Its connected right. My laptop with intergrated grpahics works fine but the 3650 wont show the full color. I tried to force tv output and I have a tv and a hdtv to set as clone. the hdtv(original setting) shows red and green and the tv(forced setting) shows almost no color at all. Could the problem be the card? its real old.
Unlikely, especially if it provides a correct picture to a normal monitor. The ATI card will have more complex settings than the Intel, you're sure you've set it right? If the NTSC/PAL setting is wrong, there will be no colour in the picture.
It could be that im using a svideo to female component and a really long male to male connection to get it to my tv, both which could be cheap since there from ebay. Idk....
Yeah I figured that... It works for my laptop for some strange reason. Whats a good cable to invest in? svideo to component or dvi to component or what... I dont have a HDMI output so thats out of the question. I need it to be atleast 15 feet.. so I'll probably need an adapter. I was lookin around amazon and ebay.
How would that work? like connect svideo to vga? Im a little lost with all these different connections not knowing what the problem actually is...
Does the TV you're using not have a VGA input? Usually TVs that have component also have VGA, or did you mean composite?
Oh I see what you meant but no, Its a panasonic that only has component, RCA, and svideo This could work http://cgi.ebay.com/25-FT-S-VIDEO-4...ms=65:1|66:2|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50
could try that, just to make sure it's not the cable. If it works on another PC though, I have my doubts.
I just tried it with no extension and still no luck but the rca works....... its just sooooo blurry. would the svideo be similar to the component or rca in terms if quality? rca looks horrible, but it could be the cheap ebay rca..
RCA (i.e. composite) is horrible. Component or S-Video are both much better. There's probably something wrong with the way you've set it up. What are the settings for resolution you've chosen in the display control panel?
I think its a error with the component with my 3650. I hooked up the component 3 or 4 different ways with the adapters, extension ect. to my laptop and they all worked. then tried each on my card and got either no color, all green with stuttering and snow, or perfectly clear but only red and green. the rca works great though, it just looks horrible. I have it set to ntsc, north america, 480i 1024x768...
Tell me, how can it be 480i and 1024x768? Is there no option for 640x480 on there? That's what 480i is.
IDK... but it works at 1024x768 with my laptop using component. Ill try a lower resolution probably tommorow. Ill post my results then.
Again, it's probably set up wrong. You keep swerving away from when I ask you what you did to set it up with the ATI software.
I set it up using the disk then the lastest firmware from the site. Its NTSC 800x600 and still dosent work right. I just ordered a Svideo to Svideo for like 10$ and Ill see if that works.
Problem solved: When I got my 3650 like a year ago the svideo to component didnt work with my laptop so I got one off ebay that works great. I never tried svideo with my 3650 untill recently and wondered why it wouldnt work with the cable ive been using for like a year. Solution..... ATI Stuff only works with ATI.... Solution2.....Nothing but ATI stuff works with ATI.... that old ati cable that didnt work with my laptop wasnt broken, it just only works with ati. and the universal svideo to component cables will not work with ATI...
