Submitted Question:
Your video talks about S video hook up, however our computers here at the school
do not have S video output. But we are using a TV gold adaptor system which has
a S video hook up....is there a way to hook up the computer to broadcast through
this system? We are still not able to broadcast the live feed through our closed
circuit system. What we see on the TV, is Visual Communicator screen with all the teleprompt and effects, etc... We feel like there is just one step we're missing, to make the whole thing work together, but we don't know what it is! Is it the S video thing?
It sounds like your computer does not have an appropriate video card. You need a "dual head" video card that has a TV-out jack, see my recommendations HERE for a card that will work. You likely can buy one for under $100, and if you need composite (also known as RCA or the yellow jack) you can buy an adaptor that will convert the s-video output to composite output, adaptor is less than $10 at Radio Shack (we use one!).
Hope that helps, let us all know below by leaving comments or additional questions.
