Hello Forum Dwellers!

When I plug my Dell Latitude D-600 Laptop into a Standard Tricaster via the Network Cable the display in the Live Mixer Component and the Output to the Projector (sent via DVI) is too big. The VGA window, LIVE window and Output to the projector all cut off the bottom gray bar, and part of the icons to the left side of the screen.

Playing with the computers graphics options and resolution did not seem to do anything. When I shift the image in the VGA section of the tricaster, it reveals the bar, but then cuts off the top...

Is it just the crappy Video adapet in the dell?

Any ideas / advice would be most appreciated.

Any ideas / advice would be most appreciated.Elementary debugging question: do you have the iVGA "Zoom" setting to "Off" on the instance of iVGA running on the Dell?

Elementary is such a relative term... LOL

I believe that I did turn it off, but will set it back up and recheck this afternoon. That could very well be it.

Thank you.

I checked the IVGA setting and found that it was set to off. Also switched to another computer (same make and model) just to see if it is was Computer based. Also rebooted... all to no avail, the image is still too big.

Still need to try it on a desk top with a better video card.
