1kHz tone from a field mixer

Please keep in mind that I do not have my mixer yet so I can not do the test of discovery for myself yet.
Our new ( yet to arrive) FIELD MIXER (Azden FMX-42a) outputs 1khz tone @ +4dBu.
What does that correspond to on the camera (Panasonic AF102) meters?  ie.Where do I set the level?
I would have thought that this tone represents and absolute setting on the meters on the camera or any recording device.
Then I would have thought that any signals I send from the mixer would be exactly represented.  ie the VU meters would be in levels synch - identical.
Through this I would believe I could set it up with a  desired amount of headroom or leave them as is.
Seems not from various research I have done.
Please de-confuse me gently.

Yup.  As MusicConductor says, it depends a bit on the scale of the metering on your camera (and a 2 minute visit to the Panasonic site didn't find me a pic of the meters).
With professional cameras, I've worked places where the standard was to set the +4dBu tone from the meter at zero VU on the camera meters and another one where we were asked to set +4dBu at -4VU on the theory that noise wasn't a problem but headroom was.  Both worked as long as we knew what standard we were working to.
However, the one thing to watch for is if the camera is calibrated in dB(FS) in which case we would use +4dBu set to -18dB(FS) on the digital scale.  This came into play more on things like Sony Digital Betacam and SX studio recorders.  Again, I've seen places that preferred -22dB(FS) to the -18 though, for similar reasons.

  • Recording the Test Oscillator 1khz tone as audio?

    Hi everyone, I'm pretty sure this must be possible but can I record the sound from an instrument track onto an audio track? I'm just trying to record the test oscillator so that I have a 1khz tone in Audio format so that I can callibrate my turntables and dj mixer properly and hopefully figure out a few of the balance issues going on. Thanks in advance, cheers,
    Graham

    Hi Graham, in case you can't figure out how to record the instrument onto an audio track, here's a link to free downloadable test tones etc :

    Hi,
      While populating the field catlog do the following thing to   avoid zeros.
      wa_fieldcat-tabname = 'I_OUTPUT'.    " Curr
      wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'FWAER'.
      wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = text-023.

  • How do I use pots on my client machine to change values, from the field, on my server machine and all other client machines?

    I am using Lookout 4.5, build 12, and I am having a problem concerning pots. I have data tables created for the different size sewer stations my system monitors. For each station, there are setpoints for starting and stopping of the pumps. I want to be able to change the setpoints for a station on the client file using a pot and have it change on all other machines running Lookout. I did this in 3.8 using DDE, but I don't want to use DDE anymore.
    I created a pot on the client file and URL'ed it to a pot on the server. On the server I created a table with a generic member "A" named "Lead Setp" and then created a member "A1" named
    "C5_1LeadSetp" then a member "A2" named "C3_1LeadSetp" and so on....
    In this table I connected the generic member "A" to the Pot I created on the server, and I connected A1 to its corresponding setpoint signal coming in from the field.
    On the client file I connected (in the table similar to the one on the server but with all signals for the station) the "A1" member to the setpoint signal coming in from the field, and I connected the "A" member to the Pot I created on the client file which is URL'ed to the pot on the server file.
    But, when I change the value of the pot on the client file, only the pot on the server and the "A" member in the table on the server change to the value of the pot on the client. The "A1" member whose screen I am changing the values from on the client does not change! This is the last thing I have to do and my file will be completely converted to 4.0. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for any responses..

    Hi Jason,
    If I understood your task correctly, you want to change the Setpoints on the Server DataTable using Pots from different clients. And also reflect these changes on the clients locally.
    You correctly remoted the Pots on the Clients to the corresponding Pots on the Server. However, you do not need tables on your clients. All you need is Expressions on each client to the particular cell of the Clients.
    So, to summarize: On the Server, the Pots write to the DataTable. And since the Pots on the Clients are remoted to these Pots on the Server, you can affect any change using these Pots. Because of the common remote source (Server Pots, i.e.) all of these Pots will always be in sync. Finally, to get the Setpoints on the Clients, just insert Expressio
    ns to the Server's DataTable.
    I am attaching a simple example (exmpl.zip) which does this. There are three processes -- My_Server, My_Client1, and My_Client2. I had them setup on the same machine so the paths are all process relative, but you can always change those to computer relative or absolute and move the client processes to diff machines.
    Hope this helps.
    Rgds,

  • How to view "From" header field in OUTgoing messages in Mail? Frustrating.

    In Mail v.4.3 (in OSX 10.6.4), I need to view the "From" field in my outgoing messages as I am composing them. However, there seems to be no setting in Mail which allow this.
    I find this very frustrating because in Eudora (which I used to use), the "From" field in outgoing messages is visible by default. But in Mail, not only is it not visible by default, there seems to be no way to make it visible.
    In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing +email address+. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)
    In fact, the only way to see the identity in the outgoing "From" field is to go to Preferences, then click on Accounts, and look there; or send oneself a test email. Both of which are a hassle and should be unnecessary.
    In case you're curious as to why I want to see my outgoing "From" header field:
    I have several different "personas" online, each of which uses a different email address: My work address (with a work-related domain); my family/personal address (with a different email address than my work address); an online avatar I use in various gaming sites (also with its own address, since I don't want to use my personal name/address in the gaming community); and so on. However, I have all incoming emails to all accounts auto-forwarded to the same central email account. Most of the time I'm just replying to business emails, so my outgoing "Full Name" and "Email Address" (in Preferences>Accounts) are generally set to my business name and address; but on occasion when I want to reply to a non-business email and not have the recipient see my business email address, I go in to Preferences>Accounts and change "Full Name" and "Email Address" (i.e. what is displayed to the user) to something different. And when I'm done with that, I change it back to my business address.
    However, sometimes I forget if I've changed it back or not, or forget what I've changed it to. In Eudora, All one needed to one was create a new outgoing email and it would display the "From" field so I could instantly see my outgoing identity. But in Mail, there is no "From" field in outgoing emails, so I'm constantly nervous and wondering which outgoing identity I may have changed to and accidentally forgotten to change back from.
    (Yes, yes, I know that if a recipient wanted to be snoopy, they could look at the "full headers" of any incoming email and see the name of my email server, which may different from my displayed email address; but we're not talking about spy-stuff here, I'm just trying to not confuse people and keep business separate from personal.)
    So: is there any way for me to see the outgoing "From" field in the emails I send? Or am I condemned to constantly (and mostly unnecessarily) checking "Preferences>Accounts" to see what I have enetered there?

    Thanks for replying.
    What is the "compose window" to which you are both referring? I could find no reference to such a thing in the Mail menus or Help.
    Do you mean the "Composing" pane in the Preferences? I don't see what either one of you is referring to there, but I did notice there something that could function as an awkward workaround: If I click on the "Automatically CC myself" box in Preferences>Composing, then when I start a new email, my email address is displayed in the "CC" field -- and luckily, Mail allows me to then delete my email address out of the CC field, so I don't have to spam myself with duplicate copies of all my emails. This way, I can at least briefly see what email address I'm using, before I delete it from the CC field. Pretty awkward and unnecessarily laborious, however -- still not a perfect solution.
    Or, by "composing window," are you referring to an outgoing email? As I said in my original comment, I do see what Ernie called "a small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box." This is what I had to say about it:
    +"In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing email address. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)"+
    In other words, when Ernie says, "click the box beside From," I can't do that -- because there is no such option. That's the whole problem in the first place. If there was a "From" field beside which I could click a box to make it appear, I would have done so! But there is no "From" field in the "Customize" section of the "small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box."
    I find it completely mystifying that both of you seem to be able to see a "From" field available to be added to the header of outgoing emails, yet no such option is available to me in Mail. What possibly could be causing this? 10.6.4 is freshly installed on my machine, and Mail seems brand new and uncorrupted. And I'm using Mail 4.3, the latest version.
    Are you saying that everyone else can see an option to have a "From" field in their outgoing messages, but I uniquely don't? Very very very strange.

  • Add data to table view from input fields in a page

    Hi
            I am developing a BSP page which will be called from SRM shop transaction. After user enters the line item data, data will be passed back to shop transaction using OCI interface and the page attributes (URL).
       (1) How can I add data from input fields to table view on a page on a button click? I am able to add first line but I could not retain first line data when I try to add the second line.
          I am able to add multiple lines to table view if I use view and controller by adding to the line data to static attribute of the controller. I can’t use the controller and view because I can not set the attribute to Controller automatically.
       (2) Is there a way to pass an attribute (URL) to controller from SPRO? Like we pass an attribute to page automatically (Automatic page attribute).
       (3) How can I call a controller and view and pass the page attribute to the controller on a button click from a page with out controller?

  • How to extract data from the fields present in two or three tables

    Hi Experts,
          I have a scenario where i have to extract data from the fields of different tables. e.g. let there 2 tables which have some number of fields . I want the data of 3 fields each from these 2 tables. How can i get that??
    Sam

    Hi
    You can create view in tcode se11..
    here you include all tables from which you want to fetch the data..
    you need to give selection condition here
    eg..
    say select empname from table A, select empadd from table B.. where empno(from A)=empno(from B)
    (note that you dont need to write queries like this.. i have just given u the example)
    After creating the view you can create datasource in RSO2..

  • How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

    How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
    I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
    SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
    But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
    I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
    example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
    'X') from dual" with no luck.
    Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
    select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

  • How to retreive data from a field that contains a "|" symbol

    Hi,
    Hopefully my title won't confuse anyone .
    Well I am trying to create a group which would display an employee name(s).
    In my case, the value comes from a field which can contain multiple values separated by a "|" symbol. See picture below.
    I am pretty sure I will have to write a formula for this but simply don't know where to begin or how to write it.
    Table use in this example is "ProductionProjectGroups" and will be linking this table to the "Employees" table which will display the actual employee name.
    Does anyone knows how to display data if there is a "|" symbol in the field?
    If you request more info please let me know.
    Thank you in advance for the help.

  • Field with a default value from another field

    I need to populate a field as the default value from another field that the user inputs. I've tried the scripting that I found from the below Topic in the Archived Forums, but I'm not able to make it work. I've tried numerous variations and still to no avail.

    Okay forget what I posted above and lets start over. Go to your first field and under Properties -> Actions Tab -> Select Trigger -> On Blur Run A JavaScript.
    Put this:
    this.getField("myField2").value = event.target.value;
    Make sure that you replace ("myField2") with the actual name of your second field. I just tested this and it works for Acrobat version 6.
    I haven't been doing as much javascripting as I used to, so sometimes I too make some basic mistakes.

    Hi Sivakumar,
    Using DD03L (in SE16, SQVI) you can list the tables & structures which contain the desired field.
    (If it's a very common field [e.g. MATNR] you'll get a huge amount of hits...you can also use 'F1' + 'Technical information' [in the transacton you are] to get information on table & field as mentioned before)

  • In Project stock valuation during GR MAP is picked up from VMVER field

    Hi!
    We are facing an issue during the GR of Material in Production order.
    I will explain the scenario:
    The main material is valuated in MAP (Moving average price).
    On creation of the production order the planned value is coming ok ( summation of components).
    As it was a project valuation, the MAP values are getting stored in the table QBEW.
    The point of concern is at the time of doing GR the actual value is getting picked up from the field VMVER (=MAP/Period unit price in previous period)
    and not from the field VERPR (= MAP/Period unit price).
    As per the scenario the system must consider the latest MAP value that is from VERPR and not from VMVER.
    Can't find out what setting is affecting this selection.
    Abhra

    Hi,
    I am still having problems with this issue. The material is extended for plant 1200 and a valuation class and project stock valuation class have been set.
    Is there a configuration setting required?
