I have a rather complicated system setup and wondered if anyone on here can help. I have been scratching my head for months with it !!!
In one room I have a home cinema system
Seleco SVP310 CRT projector with X10 operated screen which retracts form the ceiling on X10 command.
The projector has
Composite video input
SVHS input
Scart input (composite, SVHS and RGB on scart)
5 BNC connections... R/ G/ GS/ B Vert Sync and H/HV Sync
Please could someone explain these BNC connections and how I could utilize these for better signal path for Sky and DVD.
I am currently using the SVHS input on the projector for both SKY and the DVD which are both routed through the Yamaha amp and then out through the SVHS out to the projector.
I have tried the SCART RGB input from SKY and the image is far superior to SVHS but For various reasons I cannot get a scart cable from the SKY or DVD to the projector (The SVS plug is far easier to get through floorboards and walls above the projector than a Scart lead)
I am wondering whether I can improve on this signal path and how.
My equipment is as follows:
Seleco SVP310 CRT projector
Yamaha DSPAX1 Amp
Rotel 5 channel power amp
Mission 753 fronts
Mission 75C centre
Mission 77DS for surround
Mission 77DS for rear surrounds
REL storm Subwoofer
Sony DVDPS 900 Player (with RGB S video and Component video output)
Kiss DVP 508 .networked DVD player with built in 80 gig hard drive..(with S video, RGB, and Component video output)
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT piece of equipment which streams all my media collection from the media PC, audio and video
Sky + feeding SVHS signal to projector via the Yamaha amp in room 1 and also routed to to Plasma screen in room 2 via
JS Technology RGB to Plasma VGA adaptor, anyone who is’nt using this converter is mad..the results are the best I have seen from SKY
Tivo (thinking about networking this) Feeding SVS output to Plasma Screen in room 2 and projector in room 1.
Phillips DVDR 80 DVD recorder. Don’t EVER buy a Phillips DVD recorder..this is my second one and has been returned to Phillips 5 times for faults the first one went back as many times.
In room 2
The Media PC running MCE 2005 and Homeseer Automation software using The Ocelot controller. Sound out via Coaxial digital output of soundcard into a Coaxial digital input on the Yamaha amp.
The soundcard is onboard, no problems with this it works brilliantly feeding a coaxial digital output to my Yamaha DSPA3090 (old now but still works and sounds brilliant after about 10 years)
Bose AM15 speaker setup with additional REL Stadium Subwoofer.
I havent hooked up a video feed to the PC yet so not sure about how to do this with MCE 2005, but want to to route my CCTV signal through it, anyone any ideas how to do this ?
Kiss DP1500S networked DVD player
Bedroom
Panasonic 36” CRT TV
Fed by Composite Video from Tivo downstairs
OK now the challenge !!!
Can anyone explain the BNC connectors on the projector and how I could use these ?
Can anyone suggest the best possible way to connect all this stuff together. using the best quality signal path for all of it ? Go on I dare you to try and work this out…I still can’t
ANY comments would be really helpful
