Ive been having problems with getting a clean image on my projector using an official hi-def pack. The image is always soaked in greed, reds look brown!!

I previoulsy had a gamester pack, but that had the same and more problems.

Ive tried using different leads between the hi-def pack and the projector but that doesnt seem to be the problem. It occurs in pal and ntsc mode.

Anyone got any helpful ideas?

The HDTV pack doesnt support PAL at ALL...which leads me to this solution.

I dont think you have the HD settings set on your box. Go to the MS Dash whilst your xbox is set to NTSC, and go under config > video, and set the HDTV options on.

Then give it a go and see what happens blink.gif

oook.

Know if your projector needs a certain option enabled or something? Mabye you should have a look in its manual if you have it around, things like this are usually stupidly simple things that make you feel like an idiot after jester.gif

If you use your xbox with the same hi-def pack on a reg. TV [ie RPTV or something] does it produce the same green ting?

How about someone else's *XBOX* with the same connections?

I dont have another display device to test on but will try and source one. I can get hold of another xbox but its pal so wont be able to check progressive.

Ive checked all the cables and everything seems fine, theres no special settings in the projector, ive checked all of them. Im begining to suspect it may be the projector at fault.

I have a PAL xbox, set to NTSC, hooked up to a high def tv with the MS Hi Def pack and cables. I changed to NTSC video mode using enigmah, then went into MSDASH and enabled high def in stuff and it works perfectly. biggrin.gif

Could it be that your projector does not support progressive scan? unsure.gif

Is the projector an older projector?

I was doing a similar thing and had similar problems. I used the VD-Z3 component to VGA adapter.

I hooked it up to one projector (via VGA) and it was great. I hooked it up to an older one, and had a problem similar to what you have. Only mine was all blue instead of green. The older projector only had VGA, composite, and S-Video connectors. The conposite is fine. THe VGA is blue.

I am thinking that it is some sort of "synch on green" issue.

If anyone has a resolution I'd like to know about it!

well, the xbox sends out progressive signals for HD, and if the projector does not support progressive scan, it will be like trying to display progressive scan on a tv that does not have PS.

i think u may have to buy another projector with PS or elase u will have to live with the green tint.. sad.gif

How about you try connecting through an X2-VGA adapter instead? If it still does it with that, then we know where the problem lies, which would most likley be the projector.
