DIN plug (S-Video connection). This is a round connector that looks like the PS2 connector of
your mouse (a round plug with several holes). If you have this type of connection, you cannot
directly connect the GigaView transmitter to the PC, but need an adapter. This adapter
‘converts’ the S-Video signal into a composite video signal. This adapter is usually supplied
with the graphics card (or PC) with TV-out. You can also get this adapter from your Marmitek
dealer (Marmitek S-video to composite video adapter, art. no. 09388). This standard adapter
does not fit on all PCs. In that case, please contact the supplier of the graphics card.
To use the TV-out some settings in the graphics card menu need to be changed. This is
different for each PC and operating system, but usually the correct mode needs to be
selected. Select ‘composite’, ‘CVBS’ or ‘PAL-G’. More information can usually be found in the
PC manual or graphics card manual. Because there are so many different types of graphics
cards, we cannot offer any support.
To transmit sound, you can use the audio out on the sound card of your PC. Please use an
adapter to convert the 3.5mm plug to a double RCA connection.
6 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The images and sound are perfect, but the infra-red return signal does not work.
Check the following:
•
Depending on the local situation, the 2,4GHz signal can reach further through walls and
signals than the 433MHz signal of the infra-red return signal. Try again with shorter distances.
• Has the IR emitter been properly connected to the transmitter?
• Has the IR emitter been properly connected to the IR sensor of your equipment?
• Moving the transmitter or receiver often solves the problem. Even a short distance (30 cm)
to the left or right can make a difference.
The sound is okay, but I only get a black and white image.
The video transmitter is receiving the wrong signal. Check whether you have connected a
CVBS video signal to the video transmitter instead of S-Video. Check whether your PC is set
to PAL instead of NTSC or SECAM.
I do get images, but no sound.
Your video transmitter can send analogue stereo signals, such as e.g. Dolby Surround. Digital
systems, such as Dolby 5.1 or Dolby Digital, cannot be transmitted.
Can I transmit Dolby signals using the GigaView?
Dolby Surround and Dolby Pro Logic use the Stereo channel of the GigaView. Digital systems
(e.g. Dolby Digital/AC3 or Dolby 5.1) cannot be transmitted wirelessly. Many PCs give you the
option to convert digital systems to Dolby Pro Logic.
