Lost external HD monitor

[dive zero video magazine]

I am in the middle of editing one of our Issues when for some reason i lost the use of my HD Monitor, a 42" plasma display, all the settings within the system look to be correct, and i rechecked my lines from the componant out of the componant out of Edius to the plasma and all is good. My plasma remains in a black screen and seems to want the conection but dos'nt show scrubed video at all. I just started to use the full break out from edius so call me a NUBI! none the less something is wrong....any ideas ?
Thanks in advance

Check your project settings and make sure you have a correct one selected

I re-checked the project settings and there the same as they were previous, they are ; generic OHCI HD60Hz (device) and HDCAM/HDV 1080/59i (format) with the rendering format being Canopus HQ AVI and non drop frame.

Ive actually tried and aplied all settings and with no results!

Use the same cable and plug a HD camera into your plasma if you have one to start narrowing down, if you don't see a picture with the camera then it is your plasma, or make sure your plasma is on the right input.

K, I tried plugging the FX1 direct to the same input, no change, and yes the input on the plasma is correct.

So your Plasma is showing black even when you connect an FX1 directly to it? Then your Plasma is the culprit :)

Hold up a second..

Are you using EDIUS hardware with HD component output? (e.g. NX or SP)

If that's the case, you don't want your project set to use Generic OHCI - that will not yield component output (since it won't use the hardware).

You need to choose the equivalent project setting that uses (N/S)HX-E(1/2) hardware...

sorry ,that was a typo, i tried all output settings and that was the last it was set to, i use do the NHX-E2 HD 60Hz setting and incase just retried it, i also use the complete break out kit with the HD componant output.

Like StormDave said, it is not Edius, it is your plasma.

[dive zero video magazine]

well from i see all the inputs work on ther plasma and have worked before on Edius, so i highly dought its the plasma,. Any edius techs in here?

[skier-hughes]

StormDave is about as "Edius techy" as you'll get......

As you've said the plasma does not work with the pc set up and also does not work with the camcorder, I too would err on the plasma faulty or not set up properly side of the fence.

no, the camera DOES work in the plasma inputs!

[AndyW69]

Hi, have you checked the internal bridge component cable between the NX or SP cards?

Andy

It was just a typo on your part, no worries :)

Like AndyW69 said, check to make sure the internal daughter card cable to the main NX board is tightly attached. Also check to see if the 3 component cables (BNC to RCA?) haven't went downhill. Since it's a component connection, at least one color should show since it would be fairly impossible for all 3 cables to break unless you ran over them with a car :)

Try connecting via S-Video (or RCA) for testing purposes to your Plasma, if you get video, and you have done all the above, then something is wrong with the NX daughter card or the cable from the daughter card to the main NX board...or a problem with the main NX board. Also try reinstalling the NX drivers by running the Setup.exe again, then doing a "Repair", it should give you a unsigned driver warning, but press continue. Restart your PC after you do this and try again.
