Here's a problem for you experts:
I added a Key Digital KD VTCA2 transcoder to my system about a week ago, using dScaler to process the s-video signal from my DSS receiver. Advice from people here on the forum helped me set up PowerStrip with a Radeon 7000 to find a couple of good resolutions for my Mits WT 46805 16:9 HDTV.
856x484p=856,98,72,94,484,26,1,52,37575,336
960x540p=960,20,40,92,540,7,1,15,37350,336
(both 540p timings)
I was going along very well with a good image, making progress towards learning my way around dScaler and PowerStrip.
Yesterday, I booted up the HTPC to find that the output to the TV had become quite dark. No settings had been changed on the KD, in dScaler, or in PowerStrip. The dark image appears as soon as the desktop appears, even before dScaler is started. The KD's VGA passthrough to the regular 17" monitor is unaffected, as is the output from my HiPix card. I've tried swapping cables and checked all settings, but the condition persists.
Any clue what could have happened? Did the KD suddenly stop working?
