New to ZM and need help with ati tv wonder VE

Post by kilobit »

Hello, i have a tv wonder VE and im not very sharp with linux so bear with me :P
The card is picked up and installed according to the pci bus scan. When i go to the camera to view it its just a black screen. I have the camera plugged into the composite input and have tried teh device channels 0-4 and they are all black with no static or any movement. What is my next step to troubleshoot this.

Much appreciated.

open camera in live view, click settings and adjust all values to around 30000 and see if you get any image. if you do, adjust those values to get best image you can. i have sony handycam hooked up to dont remember what video capture card that way and had exactly the same problem.
if common sense is so uncommon, why is it called common then?
