Hi,
I am new to this forum.
My problem is a bit complicated. I run a church media ministry.
I have a set up with a PC (HP desktop, Windows 7) and a video camera (
Canon Vixia G10) connected to an HDMI switcher (4x4 matrix, Monoprice) and then CAT6-HDMI baluns to a TV (Philips, I believe 55", maybe this one:
55PFL5706/F7) which is about 100 feet away from the camera. The camera has a built-in microphone and I can hear the sound from the camera mic when I select the camera as the signal source. However, the camera mic sound quality is very poor so I decided to connect the sound from a separate amplifier (amplifies the sound from the stage mics) to the TV. I have RCA cables run from the amplifier to the TV and then a 3.5mm stereo adapter which I plug in the back of the TV. The inscription next to the jack says: PC/HDMI 4 AUDIO IN (
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/c26-B004SP10NO-2-l.jpg). My camera is plugged in the HDMI 4 channel but I get no sound with the video. I already tested all the little obvious issues and nothing comes up. My assumption is that either the camera audio and the amp audio interfere or that the TV is not enabled to play a separate audio source with HDMI by default.
I have a SONY 32 inch TV at home and I tested the same scenario but using DVD player as the video input. The sound comes from the DVD and not from the aux audio. Makes me believe that it's an options issue, however, I could not find the option (to enable separate sound with HDMI) on either Philips or Sony TV.
Can someone elucidate this problem for me? I would appreciate any help. Thanks
