Louis Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi all, I'm having some issues with a 130XE and a svideo cable. When I use the same cable on my 800XL (svideo mod) and on the 800XLF, I have a good image. But on 'all' my XE's (130XE and 800XE) I have give a distorted image. So, my TV is ok, the cable should be ok. But I can't believe all my XE's are faulty. Does anyone have an idea on this one? I've included a picture.

flashjazzcat Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If what we're seeing are zig-zag vertical lines, my stock XEs look exactly the same. You could check out the UltraVideo XE mod on my projects page, although I'd probably do things a little differently if I had another look at that mod.

Louis Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Vertical, horizontal zig-zag lines. But also a raster. It's like I see all the 'pixels' in GR.0 When I switch back to composite, the image is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, strange thing is... It has a very clear image on my 800XL and 800XLF So the cable must be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 With this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MiniDIN-4_Connector_Pinout.svg Svideo - Atari 1 - 2 2 - 2 3 - 4 4 - 3 is that ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Solved, I think. Seems like the pin 4 is not grounded to the cable shielding. When I ground pin 4 on the computer PCB, the image is clear... Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
