Project for TV monitor

Hi all,
I've been asked to build a project that will show on TV monitors.
They are large, wide screen monitors (720dpi) but not new and not hugh difinition.
Anyone have any ideas what stage size / dimensions / ratio I should start with ??
Bext wishes

1280 x 720
Here is why I say that:
You say the monitors are wide screen... meaning they are 16:9 aspect ratio.. and you say they are 720dpi...
what you probably mean is that the monitors are 720p (720 horizontal lines of resolution, progressive scan).
I've done a number of Flash video/photo slideshows for 42" TV monitors and used that resolution... things mostly worked fine, but sometimes... depending on the monitor, off by a couple pixels on sides or top... so to make sure that the display was always 100%, I used "exactfit" as the "scale" param... in case your display is off by a few pixels here or there.
For more info:
http://tv.about.com/od/hdtv/a/whatisHDTV.htm
scaling:
Here are examples of different scaling parameters available in the Publish settings. You can also add these parameters directly in the html (<param name="scale" value="noscale"). All the examples replace the actual Flash dimensions with 100% for both width and height (width="100%" height="100%"). These examples use the old <object> and <embed> to illustrate the different ways to scale Flash. Once you understand how it works I’d recommend that you use swfobject to place the Flash in your final project.
View the source code for each page to see the full code.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/exact_fit.html
"exactFit" scales the file to fit exactly within the confines of the screen, irregardless if the movie becomes consequently distorted. The original aspect ratio is not maintained. So round things are not round and squares are not square.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/noScale.html
"noScale" is the default setting, and causes the movie to be displayed at the originally designed dimensions.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/no_border.html
"noBorder" causes the movie to be scaled to what ever dimensions are needed to have no border surrounding the movie within the player, which consequently could result in some of the movie being cut off from view. In other words, the movie will maintain the original aspect ratio and will fill the screen completely. But if the movie has to be streched wider to fill both sides of the screen, it will also stretch taller, but then some of the top and the bottom of the movie may be cut off from view.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/show_all.html
"showAll" scales the movie to the size of the screen (which could cause pixelation if the file contains raster information), the difference between showAll and exactFit is that showAll mantains initial movie size proportions. Because it maintains the original aspect ratio, there can be space to the sides or the top and bottom. But everything always shows and they are not distorted. But notice the photo in the center, it becomes pixilated at larger screen resolutions.
The trickiest part of trying to go full screen is that it’s difficult to make the Flash wider without making it taller also, that is, to maintain the correct proportions or aspect ratio of everything on the stage. These methods are just simple scaling accomplished with html. There are also methods to dynamically scale the stage and it’s elements using Actionscript… but that’s a much more complex undertaking.

  • Problem Previewing HD Project on NTSC Monitor - Only Still Frames...

    Hello all.
    I have a calibrated NTSC That i purchased for accurate monitoring of my projects.
    I thought I tested on a HD project, but for some reason, now that I'm working on a major project it's not working properly.
    When I'm editing, it will display still frames but not video. Before anyone suggests it, i have triple checked that the External monitor setting in the view menu is on All Frames.
    Any suggestions?
    -aj

    But it won't for HD. For HD you need an HD capture card and HD monitor.
    If you are working with DVCPRO HD from a Varicam or HVX, then you can monitor to an HD monitor routing thru an AJ-HD1200 or 1400...or if you have a capture card with analoge outs like the Kona 2 then you can monitor on an SD monitor.
    You cannot monitor HD with the same setup you use for SD. Sorry.

  • Suggestions for Budget Monitors?

    Can anybody point me to a resource that can help educate me about acceptable entry level monitors for video/motion graphics work?
    I'm building my very first pc workstation (been Mac all of my life) but do not have much knowledge about monitors. A lot of what I'll be doing initially are smaller local projects for clients that are intended for the web rather than broadcast. I dont need a criticl high end reference just yet, but would like to start to educate myself on the subject and find out what levels of quality are available to a modest budget.
    Any and all suggestions, links, and info is much appreciated!

    Thanks Harm, I can't seem to find those monitors from dealers I like to utilize (looks like they are on their way out of production?) and the two I found were closer to the $400 mark.
    I've been seeing a lot of info for the HP ZR2440w and the Dell UltraSharp U2312HM, but as I understand it they are both eIPS panels that are 6 bit and use software to calculate colors (pixel averaging) and this can cause banding? Is this truly the case, and if so, are there any true 8-bit IPS panels in my budget range ($200-$400)? There is some argument about the HP being 6 bit or 8 bit and no one seems to know the bottom line...
    The Dell ultrasharp were priced low enough ($250) that I could purchase two of them. If however they are not worth it because of the banding, etc., then I would prefer to get at least one decent 8-bit IPS (S-IPS/P-IPS?) for under $500.
    Keep in mind I'm not doing anything super critical, but I've heard people say that banding is noticable on eIPS panels even when looking at photograph details!! If that's the case I'd be best to avoid them...

  • HD ready LCD for FCP monitoring (PAL)?

    Hi from the UK (PAL land)
    Im looking for the best value LCD HD ready screen to buy for monitoring my FCP stuff!
    I have a G5 Dual G5 2.5GHz with 23" cinema and 20" displays. Im not producing broadcast material - just corporate and wedding DVD's, and up till now I have been using a standard CRT sony portable for an external monitor which has done me fine for the kind of work we produce.
    I would like something like 26" - 30" inch LCD to put up on the wall, but I also want to monitor it for my SD and HD projects (for the future). We have been shotting in HD for own own personal projects keeping them until a burner and HD-DVD player becomes available her in the UK (god knows when!)
    Anyone out there got any suggestions, and what will I need to hook up my mac to such a monitor? my buget is maximum £700.00-ish!
    I was looking at the Philips 23PF4310 23" - HD ready at £499.00

    In my opinion, 99.9% of TV monitors make lousy computer monitors due to their relatively low resolution. If you'll look a the specs for the Soyo model you linked to, you'll see the ONLY resolution setting is 1366 x 768 ... pretty low for critical computer work.
    In comparison, Apple's 23" Cinema Display and Dell's 24" has up to 1920 x 1200 and Apple's 30" is up to 2560 x 1600.

  • Can sap ps be used for product development  for cost monitoring?

    sap-pp is configured but client insisting for product development they want sap-ps ,can sap ps be used for product development  for cost monitoring in textile industry?and how to configure with reference to sap-pp?
    venkatdas vanga

    Hi,
    SAP PS has good Integration with PP and FI CO modules. So goes well along the ETO scenario.
    The normal process is that Project is created and goes in to design phase , where we design product as per customer's requirement . Design BOM helps in this.Once you design is ready you can generate Production Orders base on MRP generated with reference to Projects.
    All the cost including overheads are charged to the Project as actual cost.
    These costs are later settled to Cost Center.
    Refer this link for detailed information http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/76FC9D515D244754A09308BA54E97C42.htm

  • Error on imovie11: Unable to prepare project for publishing.

    Error on imovie11: Unable to prepare project for publishing.
    I badly need someone that is an extreme expert on Mac Pro and imovie11 and very good at troubleshooting. I have a critical project to get out and have serious problem. Mac store solutions did not work. Need a Pro that I can hire to come to my office in Raleigh NC.
    Cleared the memory space on the drive, cleared the preferences.. critical problem. Love to find someone good to hire in the Raleigh NC area that come over and work on it.

    Apple Store advice did not work.

    Rocker-65 is correct, large, long and complex projects can have problems resulting in a Error-108. Sometimes cutting a Project up into pieces or just cutting into 2 can help. Easiest way to accomplish the cutting is to create a Duplicate Project. Then just cut Project 1 in half, saving the first part. Duplicate Project gets cut in half and contains the second part.
    Then if you want to stitch them back together, export each project individually at 720p. Import each one BACK into a new Event Folder in iMovie and combine then in a new Project, export that.

  • Income Tax Projection for Retiring Employees

    Hi Folks,
    One of our Employee is getting retired in the month of August, As per SAP,In April-2009 his IT projection happens for the entire financial Year April to March 2010.
    That is his IT projection for APril to March is 5Lakhs, but his actual earnings from April to date of Separation (till august) is 3.5 Lakhs, because of this his Tax liablity from APril to July goes high and in the month of August there is a refund.
    Now for retiring Employees how can we make the IT projection happen only till the month of Retirement.  Is their any standard process available or through custom development.
    Experts Plz advice.
    Rgds,
    Sekar.

    I have personally checked this,  as facing the same problem. AND THIS IS WORKING,  THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION.
    HOWEVER THERE IS ANOTHER SOLUTION ALSO.
    One can create an retirement action,  which has to be executed for all the employees going to retire during the year.
    system will calculate the gross and project the tax only upto the retirement date.
    if exttn is required you can also config the retirement-exten action in case of extension is carried out.
    Rather than touching the standard scheme this is the best way I know?  you can also fetch the reports in the future with the help of standard reports.
    However, if anyone is having any PCR idea, that is also welcome.  Do give me a helping hand by share the same.

  • DVI to VGA Adapter For 2nd Monitor

    Hello,
    I have a DELL monitor with a male DVI cable.  I want to convert to VGA so I can use it as a second monitor.  I currently have an Apple female VGA to Thunderbolt adapter.  What do I need to convert this DVI male to a VGA female?  Or...., do they make a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter?
    Thanks Much,
    Rick

    The Thunderbolt Port on your iMac uses Mini DisplayPort adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA monitors.
    For DVI monitor's that are 24" or smaller with a resolution of 1920x1200 or less, you need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/B/mini-displayport-to-dvi-adapter?fnode =53
    For DVI monitor's that are 27" or larger with higher resolutions, you need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter.

  • Error -34 and error -50 message while preparing a project for iDVD

    I keep getting an error -34 and and error -50 message when I try to prepare a project for sharing in iMovie. Does anyone know why this might be please?
    I managed to create a DVD before with this project but then went back in and changed some of the text clips to centred as they were not showing up when I played it on my TV (they were partially hidden - but that's another question!)
    I also got a message that there was not enough space on the disc although it was only 1 hr 13 mins and the DVD-R disc is 120 mins.
    thanks

    Memory is RAM and should not be confused with hard drive space.
    Open any Finder window and you will at the bottom of the window hor much free space you have. Less that about 20GB and you may have troubles.
    As you have an external hard drive (and assuming that this is not also full!) move files and documents etc to that, but keep your application on the internal startup drive.
    I have about 4 hours of video that I want to download onto a DVD
    You can't get 4 hours of video on one DVD. Even on a dual-layer DVD that will be difficult.
