weird geovision / tv out problem

[uglyb0b 0]

hi all.

 

gv-600/4 v3

software v6050

radeon 7000 w/svideo tv out

ATI software set to clone displays

 

this is a rebuild of a system that had a hard drive crash. the vga out goes to a regular monitor, the svideo out goes to a TV. before the crash, geo would run full screen and just show the 4 cameras on both displays.

 

now, the cameras show on the monitor but not tv. just get a big purple image. interestingly, when i go into system config and choose a camera, the "preview" of that camera shows up.

 

everything is displays ok on both monitors, including playing a .wmv file.

 

any ideas?

 

thanks

I've seen this before and it turned out to be a problem with the ATI software.

This happened to me when I upgraded the ATI software and drivers.

 

Reverting back to the original ATI software CD fixed the problem.

 

After a lot of tweaking the newer ATI software I was able to get both the tv and monitor to have the same image, but the spot monitor was purpled out on the tv.

you have to reclone the monitor in the ATI settings.
