vegas5 wont reco the firewire connected tv

[furyian]

any1 have an idea why vegas will preview out to tapedecksony(GVD_1000) but not when i connect the firewire link to the dvtv?
help fast before i send it back!

[David Jimerson]

The TV doesn't have the software to decode the DV.

[furyian]

the tv didnt come with any software, tis a sylvania 13" dvtv with firewire input, was going to use as my preview in vegas

[David Jimerson]

What's the model number?

[furyian]

6413te

[David Jimerson]

I can't find any info on this TV which would lead me to believe it could decode and display DV signal. Not something you would expect in a $75 TV.

[furyian]

paid $400.00 from marketek

[furyian]

delvcam 13"

[David Jimerson]

For this TV?

http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sylvania_6413TE__Standard_Televisions/display_~full_specs

[furyian]

that looks like it but it doesnt say its a delvcam tv

[David Jimerson]

I can't find any other with that model number.

[furyian]

ty for your help looks like im going to have to call markertek, is it possible to
do what im trying? or do i have the incorrect monitor?

[David Jimerson]

Is this the monitor?

I'm not sure how you got the Sylvania TV model number if it is.

Something is fishy. Looks like the DELVCAM TV at this link should do the conversion, but where did the Sylvania info come from?

[furyian]

thats it :)

[furyian]

vegas should reco it and preview the files but......no dice just snowcrash on all channels

[furyian]

sylv info from box

[David Jimerson]

Go to Options/Preference/Video Device. What shows in the drop-down window at the top?

[furyian]

new at this forgive any ignorance

[furyian]

dv ntsc i think ive disconnected it

[David Jimerson]

No, at the TOP, where it says "Device." You should have "OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394/DV." If you don't click the down arrow and select it.

[furyian]

in about 10 minz i can reconnect office full of jazz musicians lol

[David Jimerson]

Well, give it a shot.

[furyian]

yes it says that but "unavalible"

[David Jimerson]

Is the TV on?

[furyian]

yes and i ran channel search but ....

[David Jimerson]

Maybe you need to select the proper input on the TV. I don't think it will be a channel search. No idea what it might be called. DV in? Don't know.

[furyian]

no switches on the back just firewire hole
two buttons on front green for firewire red for yccv

[Gary_Kleiner]

Canwe assume you've read the manual and/or know how to tune to the firewire input?

I do believe that input is for HDTV ASTC set top boxes so that would make it and MPEG-TS input not DV
