Sony SR10 not displaying on PC Monitor HDMI

Hi,
My Sony SR10 is not displaying on my PC Monitor connected via HDMI.
It works fine when connected to the TV via HDMI.

Is there a display difference?

Thanks
Jo

Hi,
Is this a "new fault" - or something you expected to work, - and doesn't?
If it shows on a TV it kinds suggests the camera is OK, but I recall HDMI does "handshake" - so it might prefer a TV.
I don't recall any of my PCs having an "HDMI-input" - rather I have to put the camera Memory card into a reader and Copy-Paste, before Editing.​The HDMI on my PC is only an Output:  currently using my Big-TV as a monitor, saving the cost of a monitor which I could spend on an Upgrade..... when I rebuild to 64-bit.
....Hope that helps....
Cheers.

Maybe a connection fault. I run HDMI into my TV, 7"monitor and a projector without any problems. So it suggests a socket fault on the PC Monitor. Do you have an alternative HDMI input to test the monitor connection?

Hi,
I have tested it with 2 monitors and both don't work so it must be a 'function' of the camera.
I have emailed Sony.

I suspect the camcorder handshake is not what the Monitor needs - as it appears you aren't using the computer.... it's a direct connection via HDMI ( is it? ).

I doubt you'll get much sense from Sony, unless all pieces are branded Sony.

However, I'm left wondering why you can't use  a TV?

Cheers.
