[mythtv-users] PVR 350 - does provided 9-pin to scart cable support s-video

Sun May 14 13:47:34 EDT 2006

Hello, I cross-post this mail from the ivtv mailinglist, because the mythtv list are read by a lot more people. Here is my question:

Does the provided 9-pin to scart cable support s-video ?
I tried during the last 2 years, starting from 0.3 releases, 0.4.2, up to the today installed 0.6.2 release. My TVs (just bought a new one) always reported they received a CVBS (composite) signal. 

Changing with ivtvctl -l:
0 (comp+s-video) television finds CVBS
1 (comp) television is black
2 (s-video) television finds CVBS

Why is it that when changed explicitly to composite I get a black picture. When changing to s-video the television reports CVBS ?

I checked the scart cable. The scart side supports all leads to allow s-video and composite (connected are 21,19,17(linked with 21),15,3,1,20,6,4,2)

After reading the pinout in the Wiki
http://ivtv.writeme.ch/tiki-index.php?page=PVR350_9DINPinout
I noticed that the luminance is not connected (to pin 19=luminance). Is this the reason s-video with the provided scart cable does not work ?

How about the other provided cable, 9-ping to s-video, composite and L/R sound. Can I use this adaptercable to connect to an appropriate scart cable to get s-video (connecting s-video and L/R), or will my television still report it receives composite ?

On the users-list I found a similar post from 21.04.2006 from Hans Verkuil updating to 0.4.5 (this should be equal to my 0.6.2 or not?):

It fixes a nasty bug in the initialization of the saa7129 chip 
responsible for TV-out. There is a possibility that this is not the 
reason for your problems, but it is certainly the first thing to try. 
I'll probably make an ivtv-0.4.5 release this or next weekend which will 
contain this fix.

Any help very much appreciated.
