GreenMonkey Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 GC owners - Just wondering - for those of you with component cables/component compatible TVs. When you hook up the component cables, will the s-video on the a/v cables still show a signal too? Or does hooking up component disable the video from the a/v output? I'm considering an Infocus X1, but it accepts progressive and interlaced 480 into different inputs. I'd really appreciate anyone who can help. I did a lot of googling but couldn't find an answer. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 The GameCube will not disable S-Video unless you enable progressive scan mode for a game. If you play a game in interlace mode, you'll still be able to see a picture from the S-Video cable (or composite connection for that matter).

GreenMonkey Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Yay! Just the answer I was looking for. Thanks!!!! I would prefer to run the GC on component all the time, but the X1 projector uses a different S-video with extra pins that also does double duty as 480i component input. So I can't really use the S-video on the projector unless I converted all my other stuff over to component as well. And since I have a Saturn, Dreamcast, SNES, PS2, etc all running on s-video, I'll have to live with s-video for non-progressive Gamecube games. I figure the difference shouldn't be toooo huge (not enough to invest in another switcher at least). Thanks for the answer, J.Fo! Appreciated!!
