75 ohm Termination - Fuzzy Monitor

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have recently finished an installation of:

4 x colour dome cams

1 x (existing) CCTV Monitor

1 x a 4ch dvr

1 x 17" LCD TV (Customer Supplied)

 

The DVR has the following Display outputs:

 

1 x Composite

2 x BNC

1 x SVideo

 

The CCTV monitor (Downstairs) is displaying the images perfectly (Connected to a BNC output).

 

The LCD monitor upstairs is displaying a very fuzzy picture, the image looks ghosted.

 

I have tried connecting the LCD via the following:

 

BNC to Scart

SVideo

Composite

 

None of these solved the problem.

 

When I connected the CCTV screen to the composite the problem occured on it!

 

I have tried the LCD on all outputs, yet it still does this.

Does the signal need a 75ohm terminator, if so how do I do this?

 

Will running the LCD as a secondary screen from the monitor (Loopthrough) solve this.

 

My Supplier has this guide on their website which has helped a little:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Adam,

 

First off, connect the LCD TV using a SCART lead with both video In and Out BNC connections (some leads actually have the labels on the wrong way around, so In is Out, and vice versa .... very confusing).

 

Connect the BNC connector (usually the red lead) directly to the Video Out on the DVR (the output that you know is o.k.).

 

Then using an inline female:female BNC adaptor, connect the monitor lead to the other SCART BNC connector (should be a blue lead). Make sure that the monitor termination switch is set to 75 Ohms. If that doesn't do it, try reversing the SCART output leads, and if it still doesn't work post back and we'll have to try something else.

Thanks for your reply.

I demonstrated the system to the customer with another tv.

It displayed the picture fine. I presume the LCD TFT either doesn't auto-terminate or is faulty?

 

I will exchange the screen, finger's crossed I'll pick one that works!!

 

Thanks for your help!
