Trouble with tv out

[Edward Troxel]

Are you simply trying for external preview? If yes, here’s how to do it:

computer –> firewire –> camera/convertor/deck –> rca/S-video –> TV

Then click on the External Preview button and make sure that “firewire” is the preview device in Options – Preferences.

Vegas 6 added the new ability to also preview to a secondary monitor if your video card allows two monitors.

If you do get something via the TV out jack, I wouldn’t trust the colors for color correcting purposes.

Hi,
1. downaload a newer nvidia driver (later than 44.45), but for that card you don’t need the newest available, however you can choose it.
2. Install that driver.

3. Plug your TV aux video in to your cards TV out using RCA, and don’t forget, the cable has to be a 75 Ohm coaxial, otherwise video
signal gets corrupted, distorted.
(You may also use SVideo, if your card has such output, and your TV supports S-video, in this case you might get better image quality).

4. After you installed the drivers, plugged your TV correctly,
right click the desktop, choose properties choose settings.
Click advanced (or special – sorry I’m using a localized version of windows, can’t remember the correct button name).
After that choose “your card name” tab, at left side look for something like “nview settings” in this you can set up clone mode, or dualview etc.

Somwhat under “nview settings” look for something like “full screen video”, here set up the “secondary display” to be the full screen video device.

5. Look up Mike’s homepage at https://mikecrash.wz.cz/
and download the tv out filter. Follow instructions,
and enjoy Vegas displaying your preview window on TV
