 Conference Room TV Hookup Issues – S-Video TV is B&W
S-Video, Video displays, Video Inputs, Windows XP
I have a conference room set up I am working on and I've come across a very odd problem.

I have a workstation which has a projector as a primary monitor.  I am attempting to set up a TV as a secondary monitor, for use in a different part of the conference room.

I have an S-Video out on the workstation (XP Professional, 2GB RAM, 512MB NVidia Graphics with 4 outs (1VGA, 2DVI, 2Svid)) and this goes into an adapter (Svideo to RCA).  The TV image is black and white.

 

Any ideas?



Software/Hardware used:
XP Pro, S-Video

Just a quick one I would suggest that you check the output settings on your graphics card for the TV. make sure that you have your settings correct NTSC - for US TV's PAL- for European TV's I have had this before from a laptop outputting on S-Video.
