HPX component-out problem

[fritz]

Just plugged in the new HPX to my LCD TV for the first time to view some footage and I can't get a picture on the TV.

My old HVX shows up fine but it uses a different cable and a different connection on the camera side...is there a trick to it that I'm missing or have I possibly got a bad cable or something?

Does the format setting for output match the shooting format? Is there a menu selection for component out (I know my 500 has that)?

There is a setting under 'AV In/Out Setup' called 'CMPNT/SDI SEL'. The options are 'Auto', '1080i' and '576i'. I have tried Auto and 1080i (I mostly shoot 1080i/25p), but no luck with either. All the other settings on that menu are to do with SDI out.

You have to turn SDI OFF in order for component output to work.

Thanks Barry!

I am actually in the process of reading 'TFM', but I hadn't got to that bit yet I guess...

You get a pass for actually reading TFM. :beer:
