Am I Lame? Video Output Device issues

It's been a while since we've used Final Cut Express, so we're a little rusty. A lot of it is working fine, but for some reason, it cannot connect to the video output device. I even tried reinstalling final cut express with the camera turned on and plugged into the firewire (I read that somewhere), but it made no difference. I searched these forums and found no reference to "video output device" or "cannot connect". So, any help for me out there?
The stats are - Final Cut Express 4, brand new mini DV camera (becoming obsolete, I know), firewire from the Mac to the camera and video out to the TV. FYI - the camera to the TV is fine...and the camera IS set to "play" mode, as opposed to "record" mode.
The error message mentions that it could either be an issue with the camera connection, OR it might be a conflict with the audio input device. Not sure why that would be, but if anyone has any ideas on how to investigate that further, that might be helpful. We do run Logic 8 and have an Echo soundcard installed with 2 1/4 inputs and 2 1/4 inch outputs. (in case anyone cares).
One last thing - I know I'm theoretically not running a good enough processor, but I don't think that's the issue. Logic 8 has the same requirements and runs great, and FCPExpress doesn't seem to be having any issues in terms of processing power.
Thanks again.

Yes, I did have that selected...thanks, though. Now, my audio has suddenly stopped working. No idea why. I have tried restarting the program a couple of times (which helped before, when the audio quit working). But now, that's not helping either. I don't know what heppened - All I did before the audio stopped working, was I shut down the computer and the camera and unplugged it all and replugged it and restarted. I did that to try to help the video playthrough problem (which it didn't help) and now I have no audio. ****, this is frustrating. Sigh.
Just FYI - we decided to unplug the camera from the system, since we couldn't get the video to play through to the TV anyhow. When we did that, the audio started working (just on the computer). I guess the playthrough issue was affecting the audio as well. Sigh. Any help is much appreciated.

  • LT1421 as a general video output device

    I know the LT1421 is generally used as a secondary monitor for one's PC, but I was wondering if it would function as a video output device for hardware such as a USB digital microscope, or a document camera.
    Imagine I have a digital microscope with an AC adapter as well as a USB video output. Could I plug the USB from the digital microscope into the LT1421 and not only power the display via the microscope, but also view the microscope's video?

    Unless these devices support displaylink technology then no it won't work.

    When using SAPscript or SmartForms, HP (PCL based) printers in SAP will generate an extra 1/4 inch or so on the left margin.
    Design your form for the specific printer.  If multiple printer types will be used, design the form to fit regardless of the margin adjustment.

  • Sound output device issue - can not choose speakers if phones are plugged in

    when I have headphones plugged in, sometimes I dont want to use them for sound, but dont want to disconnect them (I got extra, and iMac is to the wall, hard to take them out without moving whole Mac; so I like having them plugged in constantly)
    I dont have the option to choose inbuilt latest iMac speakers when I use ALT+volume icon.
    when I alt click sound the only options are
    1. headphones, then airplay devices
    2. apple tv
    3. pioneer VSX 2021K
    how can I choose speakers on my iMac when headphones are plugged in?

    Hi @tahir77 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that the sound is playing in your earplugs and from the speakers at the same time, and that your system is also not detecting your earphones among the audio devices. I am happy to help.
    Firstly, please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following if you need help in finding that.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    With that I can find any update drivers for you, but for now you may like to look at this and see if it helps:

  • TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

    Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

    I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
    Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

  • Firewire video output in high def?

    Hi all,
    I currently use a Canopus ADVC110 to firewire-output my video inside Logic to my beamer in "lo res" PAL DV format. However, the beamer supports up to 720p HD resolution so I'd like to have a firewire video output device than can handle this higher output resolutions (eg through HDMI or component). Canopus doesn't seem to have any capable products.
    Anyone know of any options?
    Or does it not exist due to limitations I'm not aware of?
    Thanks!

    assimilation is the bomb. the bomb.
    i have been playing it repeatedly from the demo player at symphobia. i think i heard about 2 bars of it and by mouse automatically went to the buy button.
    i have to tell you i am the stingiest bloke out there when it comes to buying stuff for the studio. i could end buying all manner of stuff and have a huge amount of things that i hardly use or don't have time to learn that could be covered by other things i do have. i keep a very basic setup and prefer to design my own sounds from scratch. i (we) have recorded quite a few orchestral FX we like to use, but there is never enough. symphobia is going to perfect for my next 2 projects - one of which is a very big one. unfortunately it may not arrive in time. there will be live records in prague but it won't cover everything and i am a little concerned by the reports i have heard from the other composer on the project.
    there will be some london recordings but they will sweetening only.
    sorry to hijack your thread BTW. i have long admired your music and this was the first opportunity to tell you so.

  • NO Audio output Device is installed as well as NO sound, video, or game tab in the device manager

     Here is the issue I had with with my Compaq F700 series laptop. The sound was working one day and then not working the next. Over the volume icon there was a big red X and the warning that  No Audio output Device is installed. I also found that there no longer was the sound, video, game tab in the device manager. It had gone missing.    
    I couldn't use most of the fixes as they require having the sound, video, game tab available and this tab was, as I said missing. I tried reinstalling the sound drivers from the manufacturer’s website as well as using the driver re-install, but at each attempt it would fail as a result of not having any audio devices installed on the computer.    
    I tried doing the system restore and rolling it back but the problem didn't get resolved. What eventually worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, like a month prior to the problem. When the restore finished the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) needed to re-install a bunch of updates and after the updates were installed, everything was working. I suspect that the original issue was a bad update (the updates didn't install correctly) and that by rolling the system back to a time prior to the bad updates and then re-installing the update was the fix.
    With that said, if the restore option doesn’t work or can’t be done I would try looking through the add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the most recent system updates, then restart computer and let the updates re-install.  
    Good Luck

    Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security.  Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
    Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

  • Intermittent issues with video output initialization

    Hi Guys,
    I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
    1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
    2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
    3)Startup problems (fail to start)
    4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
    So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
    Some of the evidence (I have much more):

    You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
    "Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
    No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
    You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.

  • Issue in output device in communication method (very imp)

    HI All,
    Please help me to solve this issue,
    I have an output type ZAME this output type They they are using for External send .
    But in the communication output device they are using as LOCAL, Now user is asking me why the printer is configured as Local for the output type what is the reason,( Local location is Local printer Via SAPLPD on windows client).
    Could please help to solve this quiry, whey we have to give printer name local and where exactly this prints.
    Regards,
    Muralikrishna

    Hi
    Your question itself has the answer.
    You define the printer as Local in communication method. If this is done, the print out will be triggered in the printer which is configured as default printer in the desktop which triggered the transaction.
    If the print out has to happen in some other printer, then the printer has to be included in the list of allowed printers in the tcode SPAD. This will be done by the BASIS guys.
    Once this is done, you can maintain that printer in communication method. Then irrespective of the default printer, the printout will always happen in the printer maintained in commuincation method.
    Hope  this helps you.
    Reward please, if this helps.

  • MULTICASTING issues (video security devices)

    Hi all!!! Need some for help.
    I have on 6509 connected to a stack of 3750. I have one vlan for video security devices. The devices are connected on one of the switchs of the 3750 stack and that stack ate connected via an potchannel with 4 ethernet cables to the 6509.
    The video security devices work in multicast and my issue is:
    I'm watching the camera and see the bandwith she is taking - between 700Kb and 650Kb - but after 20 seconds the bandwith start to decrease until 0K and the camera frozen, after 3 seconds the bandwith start to grow automatcally - 20K, 30K, 35,,, 120 until 700K - after another 20 seconds or so start to decrease until frozen again. If I disconnect the 4 ethernet cables from the 6509 everything works fine, the the bandwith are between 750K- 660K without decreasing anymore. Just after I reconnect the port channel the issue reappears. This Video vlan is not routable, it's a layer 2 one.
    Any clue why the video devices start to malfunction as long the 6509 is connected. What does the 6509 to the multicast frame? Because if the 3750 is working on stand alone it works fine!!

  • Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt video output issues

    I got Intensity Shuttle TB to output to my monitors via hdmi and component however I am getting latency issues. I've tried all the settings in the system preferences as well as inside Premiere Pro. Also, when viewing a clip in the source window, video output disappears. I've tried the latest drivers as well as the older ones and reinstalled Premiere. Would like to resolve this asap! I tested the Intensity Shuttle with Final Cut Pro 7 and it's as smooth as butter and I'm able to view video output while in the source and programs windows. Is this an Intensity Shuttle issue or an Adobe Premiere issue?--->No video output to monitors while in the source window...Latency issues while viewing video in the timeline/program window. AVCHD Footage....
    Macbook Pro 2012 8GB RAM MacOS 10.8.3 Premiere CS6 6.0.2 BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt 9.7.2 DesktopVideo Driver

    OK, got one part solved. I uninstalled Blackmagic's Desktop Video 9.7.2 and reverted back to Desktop Video Driver 9.6.9. Everything is smooth now...no latency/dropped framed looking video.
    The only other thing I'm trying to resolve now is video output while viewing a clip in the source monitor.  When I double click a clip in the timeline to view in the Source monitor I'm able to view video output to my hdmi and component monitors.  However, when I double click a clip in the Project window to view in the Source monitor, both hdmi/component monitors go out of sync with no video output.
    ie: clip from timeline viewed in Source monitor: I'm able to see video output
          clip from Project Window viewed in Source monitor: No video output
    Update: When I double click on a 720x405 .jpg from the Project window to view in the source window, i'm able to view video output to both monitors(hdmi/component). On a 960x720 .jpg, no video output from the source window. 
    Pretty strange and I hope this info is making sense to Adobe Support.  Would appreciate feedback on resolving this issue! I'm hoping this is a simple Adobe Premiere setting that I might've missed. 
    NOTE: Desktop Video Driver 9.6.8 also has smooth playback but I installed 9.6.9 since it is the last update of version 9.6.

  • 970a-g46 no video output issues!!!

    Hello. I recently had some issues with my CPU. It would overheat when I would play games and finally I was tired of having to keep a fan propped up next to my tower to keep it cool. I decided I wanted to reapply the thermal paste. I bought some arctic 5 silver and applied it incorrectly ( it's my first time dealing with this stuff). As I was screwing the heat sink onto the processor, I applied way too much pressure to screw it in and I bent the processor. Bummed, I went to frys and picked up the AMD fx-4100. I swapped the broke. CPU for the new one and then my computer wouldn't output any video. I mean anything. So I decided after asking a few knowledgeable friends, I might need to buy a new gpu or motherboard. So I decided to buy both. I bought the MSI 970a-g46 and a dinky cheap gpu to return in the event I didn't need it. Nothing worked still! I thought at this point maybe I need a new psu. So I went back to frys and bought a new corsair CX750 watt power supply and a corsair water cooler just to be safe. Still I GET NO VIDEO OUTPUT!! I've tried I. Multiple monitors, multiple cords, multiple outlets, and I've had friends with experience in computers help me get the parts and assemble/ plug In everything in the right spot. I've booted it with and without my ram, hard drive, and cd drive, and still nothing. The next thing to do is call a priest to exorcise my case. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I've tested the gpu and memory on my friends computer and it works fine for him. Once again, I have a new Motherboard, CPU, PSU, GPU, water cooler. I've thrown money at the problem and it still doesn't work. Is something not compatible or am I cursed to never play computer games again?

    First of all please finally list all pc components like I asked for two times already. To post means it will show the first bootup message with results of the power on self-test (cpu-model and clockrate and so on). As somebody build the pc for you - if I understood you correctly - he should have tried to power it on and see if it starts at least. The question was if that has been done or not. If others just assembled parts and you did the rest it is pretty hard to tell what went wrong as you are also obviously lacking some needed knowledge.
    If you are confortable with it take the pc apart and put the board with cpu and cooler mounted on a non-conductive surface. Add just basic components like a graphics card, one mem-stick, psu and connect to a display. Try it outside case then. If you are not comfortable with that better contact someone with more experience to review the machine as you set it up. 

  • No Output Devices Found and Track Pad Issues

    I bought my Macbook Pro in mid-November 2011.  Yesterday I noticed that my Macbook did not have any sound and when I checked System Preferences it gave me the dreaded "No output devices found" message.  I could hear a start up sound but nothing after I have already logged in to any of my accounts.  This is the first time I encountered it and I did some research so I have already done a PRAM reset, permission repair and I even created a new user account to see if I will encounter the same problem.  Same thing on the other user account, still no sound.  I also found out that the sound would only come out with a USB headset.  Headsets with jacks won't work either.
    I brought the unit to a service center and they advised me to reinstall OS X Lion and I did.  There was sound right after I reinstalled the OS.  However, it was gone again when I did a reboot.  I also noticed that my track pad won't respond on certain occasions and I have to do a force shutdown by pressing the power button.  What could be the problem?  I am fearing that this is a hardware issue.  I prefer not to have to bring the unit to a service center, wait for a week to get it back then only to encounter the same problem in the future.

    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC...
