RE: KAT5 S-Video and Plasma problem

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

You say you have tried it to a Sony TV and it worked as S-Video in full
colour.

Was this over the KAT5's and if so, was it in the same physical location
(ie
using the same CAT5 cabling?)

If not, check the termination on the Brown/White pair of the CAT5 cable
on
pins 7&8 both for security of termination and correct polarity.

You dont say what the source equipment is. Have you tried that
connected
DIRECTLY to the Plasma.

If the frame rate of the source is not 50Hz but the colour encoding is
PAL
then the Plasma may be getting confused and trying to decode it as
NTSC.

We have an Iiyama 18" TFT at work that is fed with S-Video from a
DVD
player. When set to AUTO colour system the image was in colour but had
a
slight shimmer to it. It identified the signal as PAL 50Hz which is
correct
for what we were feeding it. Forcing it into PAL mode gave a
perfectlystable
picture but it was Black and White! Setting it to NTSC also gave a
perfectly
stable picture.... but it was COLOUR and about a third of the picture
was
outside the display area of the screen!

If you want to discuss this over the phone then call me tomorrow
evening
after 8pm. The phone number is on your invoice.

Keith

Subject: [ukha_d] KAT5 S-Video and Plasma problem


I just bought a Scart to S-Video and 2 x RCA cable to hook up one of my
KAT5 units to my plasma. Only trouble is, I get a B+W picture on the
Plasma. I've checked the settings on the plasma and all seems OK (PAL,
S-video input etc). I've also checked the cabling by feeding it into my
Sony TV through the S-Video input - all OK.



When going into the plasma setup menu and switching between the
different formats (NTSC, SECAM, PAL etc), SECAM shows a more stable
picture than PAL (although still all in B+W). Any thoughts? Could the
signal through the KAT5 unit be confusing the plasma in some way (i.e.
different spec, timing etc)?



Paul.
