Viewing footage on desktop and external monitor at same time

Maybe i'm missing something, but is there any way to view footage simultaneously on your desktop monitor and your external broadcast monitor (via blackmagic output)?
Right now when I enable mercury transmit, the viewer within speedgrade goes to grey and I can only see the footage on the external monitor.  This makes it impossible to draw custom shapes around objects (rather than just use the stock circle masks) which I use quite a bit...I would like to have the view on both monitors like I have in resolve.
If this isn't possible, is there a quick shortcut to toggle mercury transmit on and off without having to go into the settings menu?
Any help would be appreciated...I am enjoying a lot of the controls that are in speedgrade but there are some workflow hurdles that I need to get over in order to be able to use effectively in client sessions from time to time.
Thanks!

I waited expectantly and patiently  for Adobe to enable Mercury Transmit  in SG and to be able to make use of my BM card and external monitor.
O.K we got it in CC2014.1...but it is either Mercury Transmit or  Dual Display!
I think this half-arsed solution  is an absolute fail that we cant use desktop and an  external monitor simultaneously.
Has anyone on the SG team actually been in a real world CC and Grade Suite?
At least we got consistency with the blue color scheme if not how Mercury Transmit works across the suite of apps.

  • Viewer and External Monitor doesn't playback at same time

    When watching clips in the viewer window, they playback fine. But on my external monitor, it only shows the first frame from when it's played. when I stop playback, the external monitor then shows the last frame the Viewer window is stopped on. How can I fix it so that the viewer and external monitor playback the clip at the same time?
    At the moment we're digitizing footage with the Offline RT Photo JPEG codec set to 75% quality.
    A few days ago we were digitizing footage at 35% quality and that footage plays back fine. We moved to 75% quality at the editor's request. A few days ago we had created a few sample 75% quality tests for the editor to view. I loaded those clips into Final Cut right now and they playback fine as well. So it's all of a sudden just these new clips created yesterday :S.

    Yes.
    Forgot to mention that the timeline plays all the footage back properly on both the canvas window and the external monitor. Sorry for not mentioning that sooner.
    More discoveries! The playback 'freeze' only happens if I open a clip from the browser into the viewer. If I open a clip from the timeline into the viewer, it plays-back fine!

  • How do I view Final Cut in my external monitor

    I have a television hooked up by composite cables through an external Firewire device. The instructions told me to click view>video playback>Fire wire NTSC (720*480). Originally it worked, but ever since I turned it off, I can't get it to work any more. What steps am I missing or have I forgotten? Oh Final Cut geniuses, bless me with your knowledge.

    Here's my list:
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen

    Hello to everybody,
    I have a similar problem with A100-646 (bought in Italy). Laptop's LCD and external monitor shows black screen but system boots without other problem. When laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it work for one week without any problem.
    Unfortunately, there is no proper service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a problem with power supply.
    Is there other idea? Does anybody have a service manual? ([email protected])

    It is not easy to find shop where you can order original and new hardware components.
    Best source for such parts is definitely eBay where you can buy used but well working components.
    Upgrade? You must know that upgrade on mobile computers is not the same as on desktops. Cooling possibilities are not the best and each notebook model has optimized cooling system for original parts. So new graphic card can be more powerful and produce more heat and it is definitely not good for your notebook. So best thing you can do is to replace it with original part.

  • Monitor and capture at the same time?

    Is it possible to view/monitor a video (live from a quickcam) and capture at the same time?
    I looked at the solution here:
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/index.html
    And found "Video Capture Utility with Monitoring" sample program. However it only allows capture! There is no live display of video viewing while the capture is happening.

    Actually, the sample program works once I uncheck Audio.
    I do not have any Audio input device, so I guess that is causing the problem.

    If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
    Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.

  • Use one external harddrive on both pc and mac at the same time

    i bought an iomega external harddrive today
    can i use it on both mac and pc at the same times?
    for ex:
    when i plug in both computer
    i could able to read and write on the hdd on both computer
    since i format it into 4 partitions (2 journal and 2 doc)
    so i wish i can use them separately in 2 computers

    Hi Jerry_L and welocme to Discussions,
    using such USB or Firewire connected external harddrives with two computers at the same time is usually not recommended by the manufacturer.
    Doing so might lead to data-loss and the like.
    Check with the manual of that harddisk to verify.
    Using it with one computer at a time with your partitioning should be doable.
    Regards

  • JFM recording and streaming at the same time

    Hello Everyone,
    I was hoping someone could help me with using a webcam device for sending and recording at the same time.
    At this moment I'm only able to record. I tried to make another processor, and put the input of the streaming processor
    to the one that is recording, but problem is the streaming processor outputs not a streaming format. If I could stream
    with RTP I could embed a player in a website and view from there, while recording at the same time.
    Could somebody explain to me what do to here, or provide me a snippet of code, I really need this to work.
    I created this code, but this only records.
    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.media.*;
    import javax.media.format.*;
    import javax.media.protocol.*;
    public class Record {
         public Processor createProcessor(){
              Format formats[] = new Format[2];
              formats[0] = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.IMA4);//IMA4
              formats[1] = new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.CINEPAK);//CINEPAK
              FileTypeDescriptor outputType = new FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.QUICKTIME);
              Processor p = null;
              try {
                   p = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(new ProcessorModel(formats,outputType));
                   } catch (IOException e) {
                        System.out.println("Error! 1");
                   System.exit(-1);
                   } catch (NoProcessorException e) {
                        System.out.println("Error! 2");
                   System.exit(-1);
                   } catch (CannotRealizeException e) {
                        System.out.println("Error! 3");
                   System.exit(-1);
              return p;
         public static void main(String [] args) {
              Record record = new Record();
              Processor p = record.createProcessor();
              DataSink sink;
              MediaLocator dest = new MediaLocator("file://newfile.mpeg");
              try{
                   sink = Manager.createDataSink(p.getDataOutput(), dest);
                   sink.open();
                   p.start();
                   sink.start();
                   try {
                   Thread.currentThread().sleep(6000);
                   } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
                   p.stop();
                   p.close();
                   Thread.currentThread().sleep(6000);
                   sink.close();

              System.out.println("finished");
    Kind regards,

    Take a look at the following example. It demonstrates how to do 2 things with the same input (namely view and record)

  • My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

    Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
    The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
    In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
    I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
    But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
    Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
    please help, thx.
    Michael

    If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
    Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
    Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    Another option:
    Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
    --> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
    = You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

  • Issues when Insert and Analyze at the same time

    Hi All,
    We have a weekend job that used to take 12-15 hours usually and insert around 8 millions of records to a table from external table. Last weekend the same load took 60 hours and it move to Monday and there are some business impact.
    While we investigate the same issue we identified that there is one more weekend analyze job for all the tables and indexes and took around almost same time and we noticed that the table we inserted the 8 million records alone it took around 15 hours. This table now has around 91 Core records.
    We need to identify why this jobs taken long time as almost 4 times compare to the normal scenario.
    I would like to know what exactly happen when Analyze and insert happened to the table at the same time. And What all issues can occur because this.
    Best Regards,
    Shijo

    Ok,
    It is unclear what version you are using as you forgot to post that.
    Furthermore it is unclear what 'Analyze' is, as analyze statistics was already deprecated in 9i.
    Secondly, most people is this forum speak English, and they are accustomed international units only.

  • Streaming wifi and bluetooth at the same time is it possible in air play from iPod

    Streaming bluetooth and wifi at the same. Is it possible?

    You are not able to send the music to two different streams, you can use the bluetooth and wireless at the same time but for different tasks.
    The best way I have seen for what you are attempting, is to buy a wired splitter and two bluetooth transmitters, and have each transmitter broadcast bluetooth sound to the two different locations.
    I have not found any other way except when using itunes on a desktop computer which allows the selection of multiple output destinations.

  • How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

    Hello
    I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
    I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
    How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
    Thank you
    Elizabeth

    Thank you again Tony
    I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't run Mail and Safari at the same time.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't run Mail and Safari at the same time.
    Either Mail will crash or the iMac will run so slowly as to be unusable. With both running, the HDD spins constantly at a high rate of speed.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Connecting USB and Charger at the same time

    Hello guys, Is there any problem connecting usb and charger at the same time? after that, the Nokia Battery Monitor 2.0 shows 93% after full charge. Any ideia?

    yes, there is a male-female usb extension cable sold on computer store.
    Just pick up the length you need.
    But the price is almost the same with the cheapest 2.0 usb hub (4 port), so you better consider the usb hub one.
    Good Luck.
