Help! Beovision 4-50 DVI-HDMI connection

21 replies

Hello,

Anyone, please, help!

I'm trying to set up following installation: 

Beovision 4-50 

Beosystem-2 

Multimedia player Popcorn TV with HDMI-Port

DVI-D - HDMI-cable

* * * 

In service menu i've selected PDP-50-D7

In connections menu via camera set up PC

* * *

But still no image... 

Questions: 

1. Which type DVI-HDMI cable do i need?

2. Maybie, i have some hidden setting in service or general menu? 

 

 

 

If the BV4 is not HD ready, it could be an HDCP problem (high definition content protection).

(And I should have said, welcome to the forum!)

Thinking some more about this - HDCP is almost certainly the problem. 

I tried to connect my WDTV to my BV6-26 (non-HD) using an hdmi-to-dvi cable.  If worked fine with streamed video and BBC iPlayer, but when I started using Netflix the screen was blank.

Apparently HDMI content with HDCP (like Netflix output) requires an electronic 'handshake' over the HDMI cable with an HD-ready TV, in order to work properly.  I am sure that others will explain more comprehensively.

If the Popcorn had an analogue output you may be OK.  Good luck!

On which socket did you connect the DVI connector?

On a DVI module beneath the panel? On the BS2?

Only a DVI in the BV7 panel can handle digital signals. The  BS2 handles only analog. With DVI-D(igital) it will not work.

If you place a DVI module in your panel, then you need at least a mk2 ro mk3 with software 15.x or higher. This module has to be assigned in the Plasma Version Setup in the servicemenu.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

DVI connector located in Slot 1 directly on a panel

DVI module type TY-42TM6DB.

Beosystem 2 Type 9416 Serial 18395182 SW 15.2

Panel 4-50 Type 8971 Serial 19522403

I've tryed to set Plasma Type PDP 50 D6, PDP 50 D7, PDP 42 D5 in Service Menu

In Connections Menu Camera - to PC or Decoder to PC

Nothing changed...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I previously had success connecting HD sources to my Beovision 6 using an innexpensive HDMI->VGA connector.

It may be of use to you?

You could try this one also, it is advertised for an apple tv but should work with any HDMI source

Thank you, guys for attention to me. 

Scott, i don't have an additional vga-in port. So, it will be complicated to change cables everytime when i need a TV and Media Player

Ok, I've seen the pictures.

 

This setup will not work as you wish.

Try to order (I hope it is still available) newer software 16.2 or 16.3 for your BS2.

Then you are able to assign the DVI module.

This is how the "Plasma version Setup" looks like with the proper software:
