Re: [Avid-L2] HP Low Resolution Blues

 

Sorry - I've been heads down prepping for NAB.

Which DreamColor displays are these? Also, what graphic card is in the Z840? As you're connecting via DVI I'm presuming they are either LP2480zx or Z24x displays. Either should drive full resolution via a DVI adapter, even if it was just a single-link DVI adapter.

Let me know which displays and graphic card you have and I'll try to figure it out.

Original cables.  Both setups allowed for higher rez with older PC/driver/video cards.

If it's the wrong DVI cables wouldn't there have been the same problem on the old system?  Or are these new cables on the new systems.  I read the original post as if the cables were used on the old system with the same Dream Color monitors.  Did I misunderstand?

Wrong DVI cables. You need the ones with most of the pins rather than just half of them. FULL DVI. Easy fix.

So setting up two brand new bitchin' z840s with the Avid supplied Nvidia driver fed from HP supplied DP to DVI adapters to pairs of HP Dreamcolor monitors.

 

It's showing the native rez as 1920x1080.  Huh?  On the z800s these replaced we were running the real, higher native rez of the monitors – which doesn't even show up as an option in Windows or the Nvidia tool now.

 

Anyone else see/dealt with this yet?  Greg Staten?

 

It's not the extenders – one system is just long DVI cables and the other is Gefen DVI over Cat6 but both performed better previously.

 

TIA,
