NTSC Signal Problem

testdaflow · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2005

I have a DM 500s (Philips Tuner) with Gemini 2.20 and my problem is that even though I set the signal to NTSC 4:3 or 4:3 pan scan, it seems like the signal is still 720x576 instead of 720x480. The color and refresh rate is correct however. BTW, I have an NTSC TV and not Multisystem. The way I figured is because the bottom part of the screen is cut off and I can't see the entire info bar. I'm running the connection from the RCA connectors of the box. If I get a SCART-RCA, would it fix the issue? Is there a way to manually change it via telnet? I tried every option on the A/V settings, even 16x9, CVBS, RGB, YPBPR and still no effect. I rebooted and restarted each time I change a setting. Hope somene can answer.

Edit:

I must add, when I do a screenshot over the web interace on the PC, the image shows the entire picture/screen, just not on the TV.

Update: The problem still exist even with SCART cable to RCA. Also, this bug/problem is also in the Neutrino.Dream+ with LZMA. Still looking for answers... please help.

That is what it does here too. The box only makes the signal NTSC compatable, to risize the image more would require more processing power.

It's not the box, it's the image!
Contact Dream Multimedia North America to get a suitable firmware!

If I get an official firmware, that means I have to give up Gemini or any modified firmware. Is there a firmware out there that has the correct NTSC aspect ratio? Hydra perhaps?
