  • Suddenly my s-vhs connector outputing to client monitor just shows computer screen

    My 17″ Apple laptop has been my main editing computer for some time with no problems. My s-vhs output was working fine. I tried to connect a DVI to HDMI cable to my new HD monitor and all I got was my computer screen. Forget that idea. Now I want to go back to my old setup with my S-Vhs cable to the monitor which previously worked fine and all I still get is part of the computer screen on it. I normally get great video playback full screen on it.

    From what I’ve read, with the new DVI full screen option, you must set the output option in AXP. Also, after trying it for the first time, perhaps you need to Detect Displays again when hooking up the SVHS cable?
    Oh, and to use the SVHS plug, make sure your second monitor is set to 800×600 before launching AXP to force it into full screen scan-converted Avid video output.
