Connect TV to Computer
Can anyone run this thicko thro the process of connecting a TV to computer in order to look after my vegas colour balance. I have connected to S video output of nvidia Geforce graphics card and into scart socket of Sony TV. On computer start up I get occasional glimpses of computer on the TV screen in black and white. (Wondering if this might be an NTSC/PAL problem as I write this). Sony TV is PAL. I notice also that the picture on the TV has become skewed since connecting to computer, both in AV and TV mode.

You could go video out from firewire, through a deck/camcorder, and use the deck/cam’s video out to go to the tv. Just make sure you have your settings and preferences correct to output video from firewire.

The standard method is:
Computer –> firewire –> camera/convertor/deck –> S-Vid/RCA –> Monitor/TV
Vegas is not designed to use the S-Video output of your video card UNLESS it can be treated as a secondary monitor which Vegas 6 would allow.

Mr. Troxel…Sir!,
Have you done a tutorial on this?.
-
Well! that was spooky! mr. Troxel…seconds apart!!!! so…how to treat as a secondary monitor so vegas will allow?

You’ll have to look at your video card control panel. I seriously doubt that it will let Windows treat it as a secondary monitor. I think the firewire route is your best option.

OK…You’re gonna tell from this I’m a cameraman and not an Engineer. I have a little ENG Monitor SONY PVM something or other (PAL) with BNC input. Is it going to be easier for me to use that for my video quality control. Can I get from S-Video or Firewire from computer with less trouble than trying to use Sony Trinitron TV?.

My TV Monitor is connected to a Canopus ADVC-100 analog/digital converter, then via firewire to the computer. No problems. Works fine. However my set-up is NTSC.
If I need to capture analog from a VHS tape, then I connect a VHS machine to the front of the ADVC-100.
Simple procedure.

Yep >>
Problem seems to be…Im using a Sony camcorder and firewire socket is marked ‘DV-OUT’ not ‘DV-IN/OUT’
So it seems not all Sony Cameras accept firewire IN.

It is correct that not all MiniDV camera accept both in and out (or pass-thru) and some require a menu setting to change between in and out. Most cameras today will work for this but not all do. You might want to consider a convertor if you don’t want to change cameras.
