We have a sharp project that we are trying (usuccessfully so far) to use
to
display the output of an octane. The projector displays the out of an
O2 just
fine (inspite of a problem booting with the projector connected). I
have tried
using setmon to change the resolution, refresh and sync but in all cases
the
projector is unable to detect a signal. Is there something special that
must be
done to display the output of an octane on a project? Has anybody else
done
this? If so, can you provide me details - make and model of projector,
how it's
setup, etc.

Thanks,

jp

Octane outputs *ONLY* sync-on-green, so you need to split off sync (or
if you're lucky and it does composite sync, you can sometimes get away
with attaching green to both green and composite sync -- reflections on
the cable because of termination issues, but if you keep your cables
short...but you'll either need a 13W3 to BNC cable or a soldering iron
(or both) ).
