RGB (Y,Pb,Pr) Fx540 Output to Sony Trinitron
I am running PremPro 2.0 with a Quatro fx540. I was using the S-VHS to output to the SONY Trinitron Monitor, but tried to change the output using the RGB breakout box. With PAL-DV material I cannot get the monitor to display properly, or the signal from the fx540 has the wrong settings. I get only green or blue “masked” output. Any ideas on this? Another naive question: does it make sense to output DV to RGB (Y,Pb,Pr) or is this signal specially for HDV? Thanx…

RGB and Y’,Pb,Pr are two different signal types. The breakout box on the FX540 only outputs Y’,Pb,Pr.
If the monitor has true RGB inputs…for use from a DVD player for example, the signal will never display properly. If the monitor has component video signal input, sometimes labeled as Y, Pb, Pr or Y, R-Y, B-Y, then the signal should work and you may have a cable crossed to cause this issue…

Thanks much for your explanation.
I will check the monitor’s specs, but I do believe it has true seperate component inputs. It’s just that I have to delve thru 2 sub-menus: the one on the monitor, which is complex enough, and then setting up the FX540 outputs in the graphic-card menu(s)… I wish this was easier!
best regards, n.m.
