DMP-8000 will not show composite video

Potential Symptoms

  • New or replacement DMP-8000 will not input composite video source.

Environment

  • Product Family: Software and Controllers
  • Product: DMP-8000
  • Components: A-2837, Intensity Pro Capture card, Composite video source
  • Control System: Custom Video System

Cause

  • The incorrect VMPL may have been created or does not exist.

Resolution

Note: the following steps may be utilized to construct a capture VMPL.  Alternatively preconfigured capture VMPLs are available through Technical Support. 

  1. The following line must be in the VMPL to enable composite capture:

    < ?xml version="1.0"? >
    < vmpl >
                < video videosrc="composite" src="tvtuner" format="NTSC" />
    < /vmpl >
  2. Additional help and examples may be found at How to get video into DMP-8000 (VNet), DD2313903

Note:  If the VNet player /DMP-8000 has component inputs (Y = green, Pb blue, Pr red rca inputs), a composite (yellow) RCA cable can just be plugged into the green input which doubles as a composite input.
