Calibrating: Improve the quality and accuracy of your images

The Sprout Workspace depends on the alignment of the HP Touch Mat and the projected screen on the touch mat.
This alignment is calibrated during initial setup and can also be recalibrated at any time you choose.
During calibration, Sprout detects the alignment of the touch mat and adjusts the projector and cameras to create the best results. Calibration can be done from the Sprout Workspace or from the Windows Control Panel.
Make sure that Sprout is on a level surface to successfully calibrate the product.
You can check out Calibrating the Sprout by HP to read more about this function.
Here are some tips to help you get the best image capture quality:
Make sure the touch mat is flat, plugged in, and clear of any objects.
Place the object for capture in the middle of the touch mat.
Don’t touch the mat during capture.
For best capture, objects should be less than 6 inches (15.24 cm) tall.
Perform a recalibration (calibrating Sprout aligns the touch mat and the projector).
Shut down other applications.
Turn off the lights in the room, or darken the room as much as possible.

Exporting a video and improving the quality

I'm trying to export a video from adobe premiere CS5 but it doesn't begin it remains 0!! but yesterday i did that many times and it succeeded.
Also I just want to know how to improve the quality? since it becomes poor something after editing!!

Sorry, one more question. Once the videos filmed with the nano are imported into itunes can they be burned to dvd?

Important!! Improve the life and performance of the battery.

Reduce the operating temperature and increase battery life
The battery in your notebook PC is designed to provide the necessary amount of energy for the processor while maintaining HP high safety standards. As a result, the battery may not charge or may stop providing power to the notebook when the battery temperature exceeds the specified, design safety level.
If the battery life appears shorter than normal, the battery stops charging before it is 99%-100% full and the battery appears warmer than usual, the battery has most likely reached its designed "no charge" safety state. The battery will no longer charge until the temperature condition is corrected.
Try one of the following methods to correct the battery temperature:
When charging the battery, do not use applications that require large amounts of system resources such as graphic or memory intensive applications, heavy and extended hard drive usage.
Turn off your notebook and remove the battery to allow it to return to a safe operating temperature.
Make sure the notebook PC is operating on a hard surface. Using the Notebook PC on a bed or sofa may block the vents causing the notebook PC to heat up and shut down.
By taking these steps, the battery will return to its normal operating temperature range and continue to charge and discharge as designed.
Calibrating the battery while PC not in use
Recalibrating the battery requires a cycle of a complete charge and a complete discharge. To recalibrate the battery while using the PC is not is use complete the following steps.
The recalibration may take 1-5 hours depending on the age of the battery and the configuration of the notebook PC you own. The PC should not be used while you perform the following steps. Completing all the following steps will also calibrate the battery so that the power meter readings are accurate.
Shut down the notebook PC
Connect the AC Adapter to the notebook PC and to an electrical socket.
Charge the Notebook PC until the Battery Charge light is Green. This indicates the battery is completely charged.
Press and release the Power Button to start the computer.
Press the F8 key several times when the HP Logo displays.
When the Windows Advanced Startup Menu displays, select the Startup in Safe Mode option.
Remove the AC power adapter from the notebook PC.
Allow the battery to discharge completely until the notebook PC turns off.
The battery is now calibrated and the battery level reading on the power meter is now accurate.
If you are not using the notebook regularly then please unplug the AC adapter and shut down the notebook. By following these practices will improve the life and performance of the battery. Here is a quick list of Do's and Don'ts for the care of your Li-On batteries:
Do's
When you receive a new Notebook or Tablet PC, leave the battery to fully charge overnight.
Condition a new battery by using it until it is fully discharged, and then re-charge it fully. Doing this once a month will help to accurately calibrate your battery.
Always ensure the battery is recharged as soon as possible after it becomes fully discharged. A battery will be permanently damaged if left for an extended length of time in a fully discharged state.
Remember that a Lithium-Ion battery will slowly deteriorate; a new battery will always perform better than one that is 6-months old.
Remember that the battery half-life is rated for a certain total number of charge/discharge cycles (see your User Manual or Quick Start Guide for the rating). For example, a battery that is rated for 3 hours and 500 charge/discharge cycles, will still be considered as within specification, even if it only lasts for 1 hour 45 minutes after 500 charge/discharge cycles.
Heat is the worst enemy of a battery. Allow plenty of air to circulate around the Notebook/Tablet PC, so that the battery is kept as cool as possible when charging and also when in use. If provided, use the integrated 'legs' under the Notebook to raise the notebook and improve air circulation.
Remove the battery if storing for several months (the battery should be at approximately 50% charge or higher).
If you use a NoteBus or if charging your Notebooks or Tablet PCs in a confined space, allow for adequate ventilation in order to keep the batteries as cool as possible.
Don'ts
Do Not - Expose the battery to excessive heat or cold (i.e. outside the range of 10-35 degrees Centigrade ambient).
Do Not - Store the battery in a fully charged state (store batteries with about 50% charge).
Do Not - Allow a nearly flat battery to be unused for more than a month or so. The battery will slowly discharge until it becomes fully discharged and this will permanently damage the battery cells.
Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC inside a carry case - the battery may overheat.
Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC when stacked on top of each other - the battery may overheat.
Remember: Your battery is slowly degrading all the time, even if it is not used. Keeping your battery as cool as possible will slow down this degradation considerably.

How can in improve the quality or bit rate of my iTunes library.

I need to improve the quality of my original iTunes library. How do I increase the bit rate in iTunes for the library I have downloaded or can I improve what I have or will download.

iTunes purchases are at 256k in AAC format. If you want better than that you'll need to purchase elsewhere. You can rerip your CDs at your preferred bitrate. If you have some older itunes purchases these could be in 128k protected AAC format. Every now and again the iTunes Store offers links to upgrade such tracks to the current format for a smaller fee than purchasing new copies.

How to improve the quality of the quick time movie file

When I press command + option + enter, the graphics looks very good but when I look at the quick time mov I saved, its so bad. It's fine if I 'drag' the quick time window to the smallest but when I look at it in full screen mode, the picture is so bad... What can I do to improve the quality?
Please give me step by step instrustion
Flash CS4 I am using, action script 3.0

The text in your original Flash movie is a vector representation. The text is drawn to the screen using a mathematical structure that is resolution independent and so the text will look crisp and sharp regardless of the enlargement or reduction of the image. When you take this Flash movie and export it as a compressed video file using the Quicktime file format, you are turning that vector image into a raster image. The compressor that you choose when exporting the file to Quicktime takes the text as it sits on the stage, at whatever that stage size is, and records the pixels. These pixels are then compressed by one means or another to produce a manageable file that can be played back in a linear method using the Quicktime player.
In other words, there's a lot going on in that export. Flash works best when it can work with just vector artwork. Flash is a runtime playback tool. The Flash file is stored as a set of instructions for the Flash player to execute when the user plays the file. Quicktime is a file format. The Quicktime player reads the comressed file and decompresses that file as it plays. It is a linear process. It starts at the beginning and goes until it stops. Quicktime's compressors take the original content and compress that content by storing the information about the pixels that make up the file. Quicktime, and all of the other video file wrappers, play back best when the final file is played at the same size and frame rate as the original. Like any pixel based image, the quality of the image degrades as it is enlarged.
Some compressors can provide a better quality image when enlarged, some don't. There is no 1,2,3 for creating great QT from Flash. You'll need to work through the compromises of original stage size, video compressor, audio compressor, output size, frame rate, color depth, video keyframing, etc. What works very well for one file will work less well for another file.

Is it possible to improve the quality of an MP3 file by converting to aiff?

itunes 11.0.4 (4)
I am contemplating the costs/benefits of purchasing digital downloads of mp3/mp4 files instead of purchasing actual cds. I am aware that the MP files are compressed and are thus lower quality. I have already purachased some digital music, from Amazon, and am now burning cds. While creating playlists and burning, I noticed the option 'convert to aiff'. I did this with one album. I now have doubles of each track of that album, the original mp3 and the converted aiff. The aiff file size of one song, for example, is 71MB compared to 12MB for the mp3 version.
Did my aiff conversion do anything to improve the quality of my mp3 files? If so, to what extent? E.g., how close is the quality to that of a cd? The added file size of the aiff must represent some difference. I am asking because I am skeptical that my converting an mp3 using itunes could improve the quality of that with which I began...i.e., the mp3 file. Is this conversion effectively 'uncompressing' the mp3?
If an aiff conversion increases quality, I see no reason to worry about mp3 compression. It would make sense, economically, to purcahse mp3s and then convert to aiff, saving time, money, and transportation costs.
Finally, is there anyway to convert to aiff just for the purpose of creating one playlist and then burning so that I do not have to maintain double files in my library? Thanks for answers.

All you accomplished by converting the file to AIFF was to make the file much larger. As AnaMusic said, there's no way to put back the information that was lost during the process of compressing to MP3. If you want CD quality, you'll either need to buy the CDs and import them yourself or see if the album is available through one of the download stores that sell music in CD quality or better, such as iTrax, HDTracks or eClassical. They've only been able to license a small subset of what's available, but you might be fortunate.
Regards.

How can i find out the resolution and accuracy of PXI-6602 module?

I have a 32 bit 8 channel PXI-6602 counter module. PXI card is interfaced to PC with MXI-4 link. How can i find out the resolution and accuracy of this system.What is the maximum accuracy and resolution i will get from this system. Because optical signal to cmos conversion signal is given as a input to the counter.

Hi chandhu,
Were you referring to the accuracy of the count register or the timing clock?
PXI-6602 specifications can be found in the NI 660x Specifications. The resolution of the count register is, as you’ve noted, 32 bits. This corresponds to a maximum count value of 4,294,967,295. As long as all of the edges are in accordance with TTL specifications, the accuracy of the count register is 100%.
On the other hand, the PXI-6602 baseclock accuracy takes on the baseclock accuracy of the PXI CLK 10 signal. Again, this is all found in the specifications.
You may also want to check out the NI 660x User Manual – it contains a lot of details on the operation of these counter/timer devices.
I hope this helps. Please post back if you have further questions.

Where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?

I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has had this issue or not: Does anyone else feel like, after searching for specific songs, there's just little to nothing in the database? I feel like most of my searches are pointless because iTunes has either no data of my requested search and/or only has bits and pieces of it.
Another question I have: After having a slightly successful search, why am I left with low quality tunes? I mean, you can hear the compression... badly. (I know it's not my speakers)
Last question: If I'm paying for the song, shouldn't I be allowed to download a universal file? iTunes uses a unique format that no other application uses. In other words, more money has to be spend for m4a to mp3 converters (unless you're a cracker [not a racial comment]).
To me, I value iTunes and its team, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand there are contracts involved with the artists and it's hard to please ALL of the subscribers. But seriously, where's the music on iTunes, and what's with the quality and compatibility?
Custom Windows XP Pro Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Today I thought of finally putting lyrics on my songs. So I've been quite some time busy doing that, then I tried it on my iPad (2) and I can't find them. Just as the people above say. Then I went to search where I can find them and I found this page. I'm really dissapointed and I don't understand how something like this could happen. So I hope Apple will fix this soon.
(I'm just posting this so that Apple will do something about it)

Shift + R improves the quality of this image

Does anybody know how to get rid of ' shift + r improves the quality of this image', this is affecting most of the images i look at. It never used to be an issue??
Thanks

Hi
that is exactly what you see with some usb modem connections - the 'Modify Headers' add-on should sort Firefox out (at the expense of slower loading & more data usage).
a safari solution is mentioned here, but it's a bit old, with no documentation I can see. I'd hope there to be an extension by now which will deal with it - try https://extensions.apple.com/en-us/ or even the isp's pages may have a way to disable it.

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.
