Hello all,

As my first post here, I already come with a question.

I just made a composite cable to plug on the monitor port of my newly acquired Tano Dragon, but the colors via composite video are too much saturated. You can see this on the unboxing movie bellow:

After 12 min. you can see that first screen of Outhouse that should be red is pink, and that video was recorded when using RF. The image on composite is much more saturated.

Anyone knows how to adjust that ?

Thanks,
Daniel

Is it only the artifact colours that are giving problems?


To Robcfg: Do you have the same problem with your own Tano Dragon?

Yes, just on the graphic mode, using artifacting. On text mode the image is cristal clear.

Are the "PMODE 3" colours being displayed properly?

Do you have the same problem with both of your new Tano Dragon 64s?

How do I test that ?

That only Juan can answer.

You can test the PMODE 3 screen colours by loading a game such as the attached Chuckie Egg.

Is it possible that the problem is with your TV?

Something to keep in mind is that some LCD TVs don't generate artifact colors properly (or at all); they are really the result of the NTSC system and low-cost or old televisions.

Thanks! I will test that later at night.

No, not the TV. She exhibits the artifacting of my Color64, no problem. But I will test on my last CRT TV tonight to see what happens.

Don't the TV sets in your country use the PAL-M system rather than NTSC which is output by the US CoCos and Tano Dragon 64s?

Yes, but the majority of TV sets nowdays is multisystem. This LCD of mine recognizes PAL-M, PAL-B/G, PAL-N and NTSC (that ones I tested and worked fine)

OK! This question would be better answered by someone like Phill (prime) or Ciaran (sixxie). They probably know more about the Dragon hardware than anyone else here at the forums.
