AJA for HDV monitoring?

Massive Mac...check
2 apple monitors...check
FCP S2...check
Sony HDV cameras...check
Sony HVR M25U HDV deck...check
Sony Bravia HDTV...check
Log and Capture HDV...check
No playback via firewire to the M25U?!?!?
Then, Check the forms and see that I can't do this with HDV?
My question now is will the Kona K3Box help me to see footage on the Bravia?
Will I be able to go out to the tape deck as HDV when I print to video?
Wow, I never thought I would love DVCam. But I am loving it now!

Thanks again for your help. I was not confused with editing until HD-HDV came around. I feel like I am learning all over again.
There are 14,328.3 formats of HD floating around, none of it compatible with the others; this is not the last time you'll be confused.
The Aja products and the Blackmagic products will be keen. I will also jump on the above bandwagen and tell you to get out of the wretched hdv codec upon capture as fast as possible. There is one common denominator that you may want to find in this mess. You mentioned your Bravia and your camera. Do they both have HDMI spigots? If I were you, I'd look for a capturing solution incorporating the HDMI protocol as well as the normal bnc composite/component, sdi, hd-sdi ins and outs.
As of now, I don't believe any of the Kona products utilize HDMI which would mean the purchase of an Aja HD-SDI to HDMI adaptor. Much the same with the Decklink cards but I think the new Blackmagic multibridge product may have all the aforementioned connections.
As with anything, figure out what ya wanna do and what ya wanna do it with and look at your budget and go from there.
I have a Kona LHe that I'm using for monitoring purposes at the moment and I love it. Love it!
Good luck.

HDV monitor playback

I have a BlackMagic Intensity which allows me HDMI monitoring. I can also monitor using firewire downconversion or using the different desktop options. What is needed to use the grayed out options for HDV monitoring?

Matrox MXO is the least expensive output only solution for HD monitoring. Better would be a capture card like an AJA LH or Kona or Io HD.

Best editing card for HDV

what is the best editting card on PowerMac G5 that i can work either DV and HDV without lossing any quality especially in HDV
i getting a new PowerMac G5 & gonna use it for editting, i have DV & HDV camcorders , im trying not to loose quality for HDV when capturing
Thank you

None, really. FCP 5 is meant to handle DV and HDV (and DVCPRO HD) over firewire with no loss of quality.
BUT...if you are talking the JVC and 720 24p...then you'll need a capture card. AJA LH or LHe, depending on the model of G5 you have.

Best solution for 2+ monitors CS6

After reading discussions about the flaws of external hardware (matrox, BM, AJA) - or at least the drivers needed, I want to find the right solution for using two computer monitors for my Workspaces and a third (HDMI or HD SDI) output for a 37-inch program monitor (not broadcast, but decent Panansonic LED). I have been reading tons of specs and posts... what is best? I am planning a new CS6 workstation
     1. Dual Quadro 4000s
     2. Dual GTX 570s or 680s
     3. some new idea??
Why can't Nvidia make all three ports active on the Quadros?
Wishing Adobe would post more than just minimum specs, but some kind of details on levels of workstations based on types of workflows...
Thanks,
Diane
PS I've been using a $50 HP USB signal splitter on CS5 for a couple of months - it's been great - allowing me to spread my Workspace across two monitors with HDMI to the panny monitor. But that can't really be The Solution, can it?!?

GTX 670/680 cards support up to 4 monitors. Dual cards are not supported, nor is there a need for with the Kepler range of cards. Well, a bit more detail, you can install two cards if they use the same driver, but only one will be used by PR and the other only for steering monitors and that is a bit expensive with Quadros or the GTX 570/580, when a single 670/680 does the same job at much lesser cost and with better performance on most systems.

What is the max resolution for external monitors from the intel hd 4000 graphics driver

What is the max resolution supported by the intel hd 4000 graphics driver found on the 13in MacBook Pro for EXTERNAL monitors?

OK so after doing much research... this seems to be the best workflow.
Bring HDV in to FCP as ProRes 422.
Edit show... add bells and whistles, etc.
Export movie as ProRes 422.
Then for the client - ensure that they have latest version of Quicktime and download the Apple ProRes Quicktime Decoder (for mac or Windows). (It is assumed they have a decent computer to play back on.)
The client will then be able to play a movie encoded as proRes 422 and all will be happy.
As a back up a high resolution h264 file can't hurt.
Thanks for everyones input. We got there in the end.

Optimal & minimal system for HDV

Hi all.
I have a client who wants some recommendations for buying a computer and monitor for editing HDV. When it comes to editing, I'm almost always for buying the latest and fastest, but I've read about some problems with the dual 2.7 G5 and HDV (I believe I read it in this forum, but couldn't come up with the post when I searched again). The client has the footage captured to a LaCie drive. I'm assuming it is a FW800 drive.
In Apple's white papers, the minimum requirement...
1 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, and 167 MHz bus speed required for HDV playback
That seems like it would be a pain to work with though.
My questions are,
1-What is the absolute minimum you would work with?
2-What would you suggest working with?
Thanks,
jack

Hi Jack,
I really do not think it is possible to answer these questions in general, as expectations will differ. Also: is that editing including colour correction or will that be done externally? What is the target medium? This pretty much defines the monitoring capabilities needed... and so on.
I have edited HDV on a G4 1.5GHz PowerBook with 1.5 GB RAM (dictated by the need to show something to the client at the end of the day) using a LaCie FW800 hard disk. It does work, but it is painfully slow, even considering that the actual FW800 throughput on a G4 is better than on a G5.
I also gave it a shot on my iMac 2.0 GHz with 1.5 GB RAM (which I normally exclusively use for doing music with LogicPro). Performance is OK, but it cannot be extended with PCI cards, does not have sufficient resolution for 1:1 display of 1080i and it only supports mirror mode for external monitors... that's pretty much the end of the story.
I have tried several configurations and this is what I ended up with and for the time being I am happy with it: PM Dual 2.7GHz with 6.5 GB RAM, added FW800 PCI card (to have separate busses for external HD and HDV) and DecklinkHD Pro card (single-link), HDLink adapter to monitor on a second 23" Cinema Display, G-Tech 1GB FW800 disk. I capture directly from the HVR-Z1 because the price/value relation of the Sony HDV deck is a joke. It is cheaper to get a FX1 just to use it as a deck and a door stop if needed.
So, back to your question, a system used for HDV editing must be expansible, so IMHO the PowerMac is the only thing that makes sense. Performance-wise the smallest model should be ok. I found (I increased RAM incrementally starting at 2.5GB) going from 2.5GB to 4.5GB a big improvement, going from 4.5GB to 6.5GB not relevant (anyhow the 6.5GB make a big difference using eg. Motion). I might be too extreme here, but I want to preview my stuff 1:1, so using a DecklinkHD together with HDLink and a second 23" CinemaDisplay is currently the most convenient option I know of... of course this is for editing, not for colour correction. That's why I went for the Pro version of the Decklink (it has analogue out). It allows me to use a regular SD monitor.

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 in Schedule Background Job for Deadline Monitoring of swu3

While Auto Customization swu3 i am getting error message 'Output device "" not known' in 'Schedule Background Job for Deadline Monitoring'
Please advice what could be cause of it

the earlier problem of background job was solved by changing the output device assigned to user wf-batch .
regarding the transport request :
when i was trying to execute the step : "Schedule bakgrd for missed deadlines " MANUEL it was giving me an option of SAVE AND SCHEDULE . which was creating the transport request . but when i executed it automatically it worked fine without asking a request to me ... i don't know why )-: ... probablly we can specify a different interval then the standard of three minutes and which will be transported (it's just a guess) . i have executed it automatically ...
well thanks all for u r help

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

Are there benefits to the Blackmagic Intensity Pro for HDV capture ?

Are there benefits to the Blackmagic Intensity Pro for HDV capture ?
I have a Sony HDR-FX1 that records in HDV 1440 x 1080
I have already captured the footage to miniDV tape.
Can the intensity card get the full 1920 x 1080 video ?
I now use Premiere to capture my video and my HDV is in mpeg2 and my SD is in DV type 2 AVI
What format does the intensity card capture at ?
Are there other ways to capture that would make the footage better.
From what I have read allot of people have had problems with these cards.
Im just looking for the best way to get the footage off my camera with the best resolution.
Thanks: Glenn

Glenn,
I have posted this before in the PC Buying Guide (post #23 and later), but have a look at this diagram:
The problem is that once recorded to tape, the material is compressed to MPEG and there is no way to get the data back, that were lost during compression. The only thing you achieve is that you lose device control, lose all timecode information, lose all metadata like date and timestamp and exposure data and lose the capability of scene detection. There are no gains to compensate the losses.
Compare it to a glass of orange juice, that was made by heavily compressing oranges. How do you think you can reconstruct the original oranges that the juice came from? Were there 4 large oranges or 6 small ones or a mixture? Were they light colored or were they dark or a mixture of light and dark?
BlackMagic in their marketing may lead you to believe otherwise, but the truth is they can only guess at how many oranges were used, their size and color. It is nothing more than a guess.

No 1680x1050 Resolution for External Monitor?

Hello, forum friends! So after getting a very nice 22"-ish Envision Monitor connected via VGA to my 2011 Macbook Pro, it appears that there is no option for the monitor's recommended resolution, which is 1680x1050! The highest level resolution is 1600x1200, which makes everything look a little stretched out. Does anyone know how to adjust this manually, or has anyone else had this problem? I've heard that this is a new problem from the recent display update.
Thanks for your help!

Hmm, I've appeared to solve my own problem! I simply used the application SwitchResX. It worked very well.
Hope this helps someone else, then!

Sequence settings for HDV 720p 24 fps

Okay, now that the French is gone I'm back on track, but still confused. I've captured my HDV 720p @ 24FPS footage using LumiereHD & it's separated & ready to go. What sequence settings/editing timebase should I use? I've noted people here saying DVCPro, but others said DVCPro is just problemic/not correct for HDV . . . and the Lumiere forum reccomends using the Apple Intermediate Codec, which I think people here said NOT to do . . . and there's a 720p24 option in Lumiere, but not in FCP . . . is it just like using 24p DV where you edit at regular 29.97? My head is turing into goo. Any sage advice, O sage ones? And I'm finishing on DVD, if that's usefull. Thank you!!!

Don't stay nervous for ever, you're missing out on a lot of good stuff.
1. Repair Permissions.
2. update to OS X 10.4.8
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
3. update QuickTime to 7.1.3
4. make sure you have Motion 2.1 already installed
5. update all your pro apps with Software Update
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/whats_new_5.1.2balis.html
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3213777
Still nervous?
I can't tell you what setting in FCP 5.1 to use, because I no longer have 5.1.
I would convert the HDV to DVC PRO HD 720p.
Editing in native HDV is a pain because of the frame structure.
You will end up with larger files with DVC PRO HD, but since it's all "I-frames" editing and compositing will be much, much faster.

How Can i override a target for a monitor in a sealed Management pack

Hello everyone,
I have very generic question here, May be it is too basic.
I have a time Skew Monitor that is present from an AD MP which is targeted to only AD Computers. Now overriding this Monitor to ALL computers , will this monitor function as expected ?
I understand that , by overriding we are changing the scope of this monitor , but still the monitor is created targeting only AD Computer Role Will this work on Non AD Servers after the override ?
S.Arun Prasath

Hi,
When creating an override for a monitor in a Sealed mp, you will automatically be asked to place the override in an unsealed mp.
When overriding, you have different options. If you want to make an override for this monitor, for all AD servers, you simply select "all objects of this class".
I hope that makes sense.

Java Stack for Central monitoring system

I believe for central monitoring with only ABAP stack is sufficient to monitor both remote ABAP and JAVA stacks. For this purpose CCMS and GRMG can be used. My questing is there any need to have JAVA stack in central monitoring system? If yes, what are the things that only ABAP stack can not do alone and JAVA stack is required in central monitoring system?

Hi,
>
> it also mentioned about creating CSMREG user, but it did not say in which client this activity needs to be performed, and there are lot many steps in which there is no mention about the client of solution manager in which we have to perform the configuration.

You should created this user in working client.
> Can you guys please help me to configure properly?
>
> One set document which I saw talks about the configuration using RZ21 and other document discuss about Configuration using System Monitoring Work Center, which one do we need to follow, are both methods are 2 different options doing the same thing, can you please clarify?

You can use RZ21 or System monitoring through work center. From Solution manager 7.1, you need to use work center only. So, I would suggest you to use work center only.
