Ps2 - Dark Image

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

Ok so when I have a 'Roxio Game capture HD pro' and I have some Playstation component cables.

http://goo.gl/JeibS7 - the cables I use

 

My PS3 setup is as follows:

Playstation 3 --> Component cables (input) --> Roxio --> HDMI (output) --> HDMI switch box (output) --> Monitor/TV

My PS2 setup is:

Playstation 2 --> Component cables (input) --> Roxio --> Component cables (output) --> TV

 

With the PS2 setup the image comes out very dark (image attached). I have also attempted to output in HDMI which does not output a dark image but a box appears in the middle of the screen (also attached as an image).

 

If I connect the PS2 directly to the TV through component it works with full colour, and I can also output my PS3 through component (through the Roxio device) and have no problems it is only when I attempt to output the PS2 does it go dark.

 

Notes:

• In the Roxio software the PS2 image comes out in full colour.
  
• I have also tried it without the switch box but i get the same result (box appears).
  
• I have also tried to try HDMI --> TV, but i get a purple image.
  
• I have also tried to fix the image using my TVs setting but I can't fix it.

Just curious, but have you set your PS2 in the systems configuration to output through the component properly?

Also, go here https://support.us.p...d/357/related/1

 

and try different settings for the upscaler.

My PS2 settings are:

Component Video Out: Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr

Digital Out (Optical): On

Screen Size: Full

 

And I have a 250GB PS3 so I can't play PS2 games on my PS3.

Since the Roxio software shows the PS2 image in full colour, have you tried adjusting your TV settings (particularly the brightness)?

yes I have, I have also connected the PS2 directly to the TV and the image is fine.

[MrDerpski 6]

Since you're not using HDMI and are using a component cable to output the PS2 gameplay, could it be your component cable?

 

Edit: Make sure your capture profile is correct btw (go to options)

I have exported video through the component cables when using my PS3 and it worked fine.

I have tried changing the settings before and the only option available is 576i.

[ogdens 85]

Did you try any different settings in the Upscaller settings as shown in Post #3.

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

That's for Playstation 3 and the problem that is occurring is for PS2.

[ogdens 85]

I don't have either one, but the picture clearly states PS 2

 

 

 

It was just a suggestion.

That's a PS3. Some PS3s are backward compatible with the PS1 and the PS2 hence the option.

 

@OP Have you tried outputting using HDMI to a different TV?

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

I just connected to my TV, rather than my PC monitor, and there is purple decolourization.

[MrDerpski 6]

I'm drawing a blank here since this is the first time I've ever seen such problems

 

@Jim_Hardin to the rescue?

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

I can provide video if needed

[Jim_Hardin 417]

I got notihng...

 

 

It works with a PS3 but not with the PS2 means is is the PS2...

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

but I can connect it directly to the TV and it's fine

[ogdens 85]

See if this helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brpjv7Q9jHk

 

The actual suggested fix is quite a ways into the video (round 2:40).

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

my software is different to the one in the video

I took a screen cap of the options box I have - http://imgur.com/xPNQYaS

Can you change the 576i on the capture software?

[ThatOneGuyWithThatOneThing 0]

No, it's the only option available.

[Jim_Hardin 417]

Posting a picture here is a lot easier than what you are doing and saves every the bother of going somewhere else...

 

Info - HERE

 

Your Options are not any different than anybody else's, other than you have it set to PAL, which is normal for your part of the woods

 

But again ~ the Options available are based on what you send it... So it is back to your PS2 output settings

oh, so any other suggestions or is this a dead end?
