As stated in the subject of this post, I have a color issue when plugging 75 Ohm BNC terminators on the outputs of my BVM 20F1U.
First of all, I plugged my retro consoles and my Supergun via RGB scart to BNC. It works fine when I don't plug the BNC terminators on the outputs, though I get an overly bright picture, especially with the SmallCab Supergun. So, I picked up x4 75 Ohm BNC terminators to make the picture less brighter. The problem is:
When I plug the BNC terminators on the outputs, I get a green tinted picture. Sometimes, I even get a pink tinted picture.
Can someone help me please?

Re: BVM 20F1U - Color issue with 75 Ohm BNC terminators
I don't have a 20F1U or 20F1E, but I do have a 2010p, so maybe my experience is not relevant. I had no issues without termination before I bought them. I now use terminators on the 2010p, but I believe some of the newer PVM and BVMs have internal termination that is either automatic, or can be switched in.
My only other guess is that your Scart to BNC adapter may have resistors already in it, or possibly capacitors. Are your Brightness and Contrast settings at about 50% when you say the picture is too bright? The RGB Gain and Offset might need checking as well.

dooklink, many thanks for the reply. Thanks to you, I know that I don't need terminators. You got the point: it looks like my scart to BNC adapter have resistors already AND I had another problem which I've fixed now: I used to daisychain two scarts switches and one of the scart sockets was malfunctioning... After fixing the scart switch, I just had to toy with Brightness and Contrast knobs to display great picture.
Thanks again for your input!
