Hi All,

I've recently unearthed a Tevion MD 81241 Wireless Video Sender which I must've picked up on a shopping trip some time ago, and have decided to try hooking my PC up to my old - soon to be replaced - CRT. I'm wondering which cables i'll need for this as there does not seem to be a TV out cable packaged.

I've got a Palit nVidia 8500GT+ with DVI, VGA and TV-out connections which I want to connect to the sender.

Am I simply looking for a TV-Out to RCA/Phono cable? or should I be looking for something else?

Having looked at cables myself, would any of these be suitable to connect the 7 pin TV-Out on the G/C to the female phono/rca sockets on the transmitter?

or these with a cinch cable attached

I also spotted a DVI to Component cable, but not sure if this would be suitable

Opinions most welcome

If your TV supports component it has a much better Video quality than S-Video. But the downside is you will need to find a way to get the audio to the TV.

*Note* Same goes for the S-Video as your Graphics card only supplies the Video. (Unless your Graphics card has jumper terminals for audio which connects to your on-board sound or sound card.)

With regards to the sound issue, my soundcard is a very cheap ($10) 5.1 surround sound C-Media CMI8738. As yet I do not have it connected to the graphics card, nor do I know if this is possible.

Any further thoughts? as there is very little in the way of online manuals/spec sheets for either of these, should I post pictures of my graphics and sound cards to see if they can be linked?

bump!

The screen is good but you still need a way to supply the sound.
Could you post what type of Graphics card you have so i can tell if your Graphics card is capable of outputting sound.

Hi,

Thanks again for the reply. The graphics card is a Palit 8500GT+ Super 1GB

Cheers

After look at the card physically there are no jumpers on the card that will give S-Video the audio. You may have to upgrade your Graphics card.
But i am sure there is a device that allows you to connect your PC to a TV Via USB.
Try using google and help search.

Okay, thanks for your help.

On another note, I now have and Xbox360 Core and will be getting a PS3 shortly, would I be able to stream to them? and if so, would the graphics card still be an issue?

Thanks again

What do you mean by Stream.

Under Windows Media Player 11 you are able to share library.
Tools> options > Library "Configure Sharing", then tick the box Share my Media and press ok. You will then be able to allow the Xbox360/PS3 to share the library and watch Videos.
The easiest way to to connect your PC and Xbox360/PS3 to a router.
