i got a problem with ntsc wersion of snes and tv tuner

Post by tenjin »

Hi

I recently buy a snes (ntsc) and I want to plug him to my copmuter via tv card ( i live in Poland and our tv is in pal so only tv card can be used)
i checked all freq. of us air, cable and cable hrc and I can`t find a signal.
i search in ntsc-m ( the other is ntsc japan and ntsc 50 ) I use program called " DScaler" I try search all freq. at Ntsc-m but i takes very very long :)

Is anyone know the freq. of channel of snes ??

I don`t know that I shown my problem properly and sorry for my english but maybe someone is able to help me ?????????

if you are using the coax adapter, its either channels 3 or 4.

you should, however, you be using the RCA(the red, yellow, and white ones) jacks instead of the coax, which would be on the composite input.

Should be using the s-video port, actually.

If the tV card doesn't have s-video, should upgrade. :P

The cinch jack on the back of your SNES is only for RF output. To use composite or S-Video, you need to use the multi-out jack, which is a custom connector about an inch wide. This is the same connector found on the N64 and GameCube, so any cables labeled for use with them will also work with your SNES.

You can see it in the linked picture; it's the connector on the left.

so you're telling me you bought a SNES without the hookup cable?

Why don't you show us what you have available on your computer's tv card.

if it only has only a coaxial (whatever you seem to be calling a "cinch jack") then you will need the RF modulator. This is what you would be connecting if you wanted the "us air, cable and cable hrc" signal source.

Again, rather than play this game, what do you have, and we'll tell you what you need.

A. You CANNOT directly connect the SNES RF connector to your video card and expect an acceptable picture. There's a DC voltage piggy-backed on the signal that is supposed to trip the auto-switchbox. Without a switchbox to filter it out, it comes in with the TV signal and messes your picture up.


B. You CAN use Gamecube cables on the SNES multi-out. While RGB output doesn't work right, s-video and composite are just fine.
Go find a GameCube s-video cable on clearance and use that.


C. Looking up "cinch connector" shows me it's RCA... you're using a spliter to connect the SNES' RF output to the video card's compsite/audio connectors? That won't work. RF output goes to the antenna connector.
