reload Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi there guys,was looking around and this is by far the best forum out there. This is my issue - maybe you can solve it for me? I have a Linux computer and it has a VGA output for a monitor and a S-Video Out. So I ran 20 metres of S Video to My Pioneer Plasma which does not support S Video. So, I bought a S-Video - Scart converter and conected the scart to my Plasma. Now the image is Fuzzy... and Kind of black and white. I can and havent tried S video converter to Video Phono - would this work? or what else can I do? First time poster on a forum btw, so please be patient with me - but any help would be appreciated.

ianl Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 S video has seperate brightness and colour wires, your plasma is only looking at the brightness wire expecting it to be a single video signal Scart has a number of wiring options, rgb, s video, composite Crt televisions used to have a number of scart wired inputs wired for different options Try another scart input, or see if its in the plasma menu to select the option for the scart socket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Fuzzy is to be expected (at least compared to the type of image you get on a monitor) ... B/W suggests the SCART socket on the TV is not in S-video mode. On a lot of TVs there is an option to switch the SCART socket between S-video and composite, the 2 modes use different pins in the socket. I would check the TV's menus and see if you can find an option to change it. You should then at least get a colour picture. edit.... beat me to it!
