|
|
Greetings all.
I'm about to purchase a blu-ray equipped PC with an nVidia 7300 video card to run my Sony 1252 but encountered the following problem...
During set-up the projector would not play a picture, claiming that the Horizontal Frequency was too high, despite being set well below the projector thresholds. The PC was connected to an external monitor for ease of set-up and while that display was on, we could get some picture on the screen but no video playback. As soon as the PC was switched to "Single Display" mode, the projector would display the "horizontal frequency too high" message.
Has anyone else experienced such problems and know of a fix?
As an aside, I tried hooking up to my older Mac G5 Tower with an nVidia 7200 to exactly the same problems.
Cheers from Down Under,
Dave.

Sounds like the screen resolution setting is too high. For a starting point, lower the screen resolution in control panel>display>settings to 800x600. After you verify the system is working you can fine tune the resolution.
A note about the blu-ray player, the system will only output HD content to HD compliant devices. The pj is not HD compliant, however you can get around this by the addition of the hdfury dongle.

Incorrect, the system WILL output HD content over VGA without the need for a "HD compliant" display or a device like the HDFury.

Yeah thanks. I tried res down to 800x600 and could get higher than that with the 2nd display on, but as soon as I switched to single monitor (ie the projector) I got the frequency too high message.
I should mention too that the projector is connected to PC via vga/mini dv to RGBHV cable.
It would seem to be a video cars issue, but any more info welcome.
