full PAL beaming and resolume

Bas_ · Post by **Bas_** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 16:59

While vjing we use resolume and video tapes as well. So we have got a difference on the screens because the beaming surface of resolume is smaller than that from a videotape.
Is there a way to fix this? And don't say 'trash the tapes' cause a computer can crash......

trash the tapes!

))

have you tried to use a scan converter to make a PAL signal out of a fullscreen resolume signal? i usually use the TV-out function for resolume output and plug it into a videmixer, vhs tape on another channel. thats the way it works - otherwise you can use a cpture card and stream the vhs tape into resolume, so there is no need of mixing anymore

definetly trash the tapes.
heh heh.

it sounds like an underscan problem.
what vid card are you using? i am using a GeForce4 and i have the same underscan problem. the image on the screen is smaller than what gets projected deirctly from a DVD.

anyone able to help on this one?

indeed chadd, its that underscan problem. I am using a Geforce 4 as well. Resolume works fine. But we always have to zoom the beamers to get a full screen projection, but then again we overbeam the screens.

We are trying to find a solution for this, but till now we don't have one.

Anyone?

How about TVtool software?

I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it could solve the problem, though not on all machines judging by what little I've read of it.

about the overscan issue; I have a geforce 4 4600 ultra and i have a overscan function right here in the detonator drivers. Go to the properties of the 2nd monitor/TV! then "Device selection" --> "Device Adjustments" Here you can move the slider of "Screen Size" to the right and TADA!! perfect fit on the tv!

I tryed tvtool with geforce 2 mx and it works fine - it allows you to enlarge the video even more than you need

matrox don't have this kind of problem...

ati radeons, geforce4 and Intel 8XX (we have Intel in our laptop) have the feature built inside the generic drivers

Hi DaDj,

My setup is Pentium 4 / 2 Ghz / GeForce4 MX 460 AGP
OS is Windows XP / Intel Inside......

But i cant get the underscan problem fixed, and i haven't got that resize slider?????

Is it the wrong driver? I tried the new download of Nvidia site but nope....

I tried a lot of things but the *+^666#@!!! machine wont do it, other suggestions?

Anyone?

Thanks..... peace
