DJ Ron Slomowicz Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I am a VJ planning to use Numark Cue on the MacBook Pro. Right now, the PC version is stronger than the Mac version so I installed Bootcamp and XP Pro (S Pk 2). Bootcamp is running awesomely well. Numark Cue is running awesomely well. I hooked up the DVI cable to a monitor on the Mac side - works perfectly. I hooked up the DVI cable to a monitor on the PC side - works perfectly. I hooked up the DVI to Video adaptor on the Mac side - works perfectly. Get great signal on a TV. I hooked up the DVI to Video adaptor on the PC side - {censored}. Black and white signal which is blurred/blocked/and modes across the screen. I tried playing with refresh settings, resolutions, etc on the ATI display panels - but I couldn't figure out how to get ATI to recognize the output as going to NTSC TV and not monitor. Or maybe its a driver issue. Some more specifics on the system - Macbook Pro, 3GB Memory - and everything else on XP is running smoothly. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help.

solaar Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 "Black and white signal which is blurred/blocked/and modes across the screen" What you describe sounds like a 'pseudo' NTSC 4.43 signal displayed on a native NTSC 3.58 telly. I had the same problem once with a XP laptop hooked up to a mono-standard PAL TV via S-video. NTSC 4.43 is sometimes used on game consoles to make them compatible to multi-standard TV sets but it doesn't really work properly on native NTSC. The weird thing, I could get a good picture in colour with a professional S-video cable which was apparently soldered differently from the consumer ones. Once again, it was a vanilla laptop but I would suppose TV out on XP behaves basically the same on any hardware. Could it be a DirectX thing perhaps ...?

Sharp Shooter Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have the exact problem in with my MACBOOK C2, any help wud stop my hairfall. Also looks like have some problems with the drivers in the Device manager for them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Ron Slomowicz Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Solution - On the PC side, I am using a TView Converter - external piece - to downconvert DVI signal to VGA/Composite/S-Video. This solves the problem. For whatever reason, the drivers for Bootcamp dont support the DVI to VGA plug on the PC side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
