Any way to adjust output video resolution from STB?

I have a HD Pioneer video monitor (PDP-503CMX + PDA5002) and a HDTV Sharp LC-26SB14U.  The pioneer supports native HD video resolution of 1080i and the Sharp supports native 720p.  Both units have a feature that allows users to "scroll through" multiple "display modes" (e.g., full, zoom, wide, etc.) to match up the display of the current video to the viewer's tastes.  The "best looking" format depends on the broadcast content / quality / format.
This "display mode" functionality worked on both my "TVs" when I used Time Warner cable, a week ago.  They also worked when I used an antenna to pull HD broadcasts off-air.  But now that I have swtiched to FiOS the STB seems to somehow "fix" the video output signal in some way so that both TVs show only the "full" display.  I don't like it -- the edges of the video (both top/bottom and sides) are cropped ... and worse yet, this display mode suppresses the crisp "native display" mode in favor of an inferior display mode where the video signal seems to be somehow "interpolated."  This interpolation / artificial enlargement results in a poorer quality video -- particularly noticable on the 52" monitor.
Any ideas how to adjust the STB output so that it uses the "native display" mode, if it must be locked into only one mode ... or better yet how to set the video output signal so that I can choose the mode myself (like I was able to do with the cable box and off-air antenna)?
Thanks.

There is no "native" or pass-thru mode on the Verizon STB.  You can select either 1080i or 720p for HD output (the box will interpolate to that fixed resolution regardless of the source material resolution).
The additional choice is what is called 4:3 override.  You can pick 480i, 480p, stretch or OFF.  The first 3 are self explanatory while the last one (OFF) outputs SD in 4:3 aspect ratio upconverted to your selected HD resolution.
Hope that helps.

  • Is there any way to use two video resolutions in one project in Pre10?

    i looked up this question but didn't find what i was looking for. Pre10 on XP or on Win 7 64 bit( i have Pre 10 on two machines) both with lots of RAM. XP has a dual core processor and Win 7 64 has a quad core.
    I shot a concert video with a Sony HDR-XR160 (1920 x1080 16:9) on tripod in back of room for my main camera and used a Panasonic Mini-DV as my roving camera (640x480). i am using the HD on video/audio 1 in timeline and want to use the Mini-DV on v/a 2... but when i cut to the mini-dv footage it plays fine but I see the edges of the HD footage on both sides.... is there any way to make this work??
    can i resize the mini-dv footage or will that look weird? should i make a new project and make it 640x480 and what would that do to the HD footage? I thought that the 640x480 footage would look cool as cutaways as it's different res.
    (I have another question. in Pre3 i could click on a video track and hold the alt key and use the arrow keys to shift the video track right or left by a frame at a time and that doesn't seem to work in Pre10 I have a matrix audio track to sync with the video. do you want me to start another thread for this question?)
    thanks

    If the SD material is not filling the Frame, which will happen in an HD Project, you will then need to Scale the SD footage to fit. This is what Steve was warning about, as the Scaling will degrade the SD material. One possible option would be to use a program, like Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD, to do the Scaling. While still less quality, than having shot HD to begin with, many users find it pretty good for the up-rezzing.
    Good luck,

  • Is there any way to prevent my SSIS Tasks from reformatting themselves when I want to change the Name

    So all my tasks are nicely laid out in my SSIS Package. Now I want to go add a blurb to the Name to make it a little more descriptive. When I do that, Microsoft Visual Studio just automatically re-sizes the task so the entire description, name fits. When
    I make it the right size, my scripting name is wrapping and that's the way I want it to look within my Package. Is there any way to stop Microsoft Visual Studio from automagically adjusting the size of my task when I click on the Name to edit?
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    There is no way. The designer canvas received improvements in SSIS ver 2012, but this specific aspect remain unchanged.
    What I do I simply use the Format -> Autolayout -> Diagram or you can also/instead Ctrl-A to select all and choose "make same size"

  • Any way to adjust Calendar alarm sound?

    Is there any way to adjust the Calendar alarm sound from it's default "Time Passing" setting? Would prefer one of the other ones, but can't see where to change it...

    After going to the Apple store I found out that it is not possible even though the manual says it is.
    I don't know if they inteded to have this feature and "forgot"..lol...or if they never intended it and just copied and pasted wrong.
    It's my biggest peeve with the itouch....hoping they fix it soon...I can't hear the stoopid thing. I also want it to keep sounding the alarm--like it does on the alarm clock so I can make sure I'm actually reminded.

  • Is there any way to play 1080p videos on the iPad with Retina Display without watching in full screen?

    When I watch 1080p videos from iTunes on my iPad, they are stretched to fit the whole screen (with black borders) even though there aren't enough pixels in the video. This means that the videos are not crisp as one would expect on a retina display, but slightly blurry, as they are not pixel perfect. Is there any way to make the video smaller? Or does anybody know any 3rd-party apps which can do this?

    There isn't as far as I can find - I've had a play around and can't find any way.

  • Is there any way to adjust the equalizer on my macbook pro?

    I just got a brand new macbook pro, and was really dissapointed with the audio coming out of the speakers.  My last laptop was also a macbook pro from three years ago, and that one had way better speakers.  I'm hearing way too much high mids, and very little bass coming out of the speakers on this one, and it's really really noticeable.  I know the speakers on these aren't supposed to be amazing, but the huge difference from the last generation of macbook pros makes me wonder if there's just something wrong with my new computer... Does anyone know if there's any way to adjust this, or can anyone at least confirm that the speakers are just way worse than the last generation?

    All the laptops have poor sound, not surprising really considering the half inch speakers driven by less tha 2W, spend any amount you like on an external pair, even the cheapest will outperform the internals.

  • Is there ANY way to "drop" several videos or pictures at once (like an entire folder) instead of pai

    Is there ANY way to "drop" several videos or pictures at once (like an entire folder) instead of painstakingly dropping/dragging one image at a time? I just opened my Adope Premiere Elements 9 and after "working with" for 9 hours, I can't figure it out! Is there a singular CLEAR guide or video out there that teaches newbies like me how to do BASICS like this? Extremely exasperated. On verge of returning to my Windows Live Movie Maker but you all likely know how frustrating THAT is.... Please help me.

    How long have you been working with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and on what computer operating system?
    Take a look at the Premiere Elements 9 Help PDF for starter before you invest in books and such.
    http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/premiereelements/9/premiereelements_9_help.pdf
    On to the immediate issue....
    When you "Get Media" Files and Folders, be aware that you can import folders with the format supported photos/videos inside.
    Then go immediately to Organize header/ and Project in row below and click on Project.
    You should see your folder there.
    a. You can drag it to the Timeline and have your photos/videos open on the Timeline
    b. You can manage folder opening and closing with the icons at the bottom left of the Project area where you see
    your imported files.
    If you are at the point where you already have your Project area loaded with lots of individual imports, you can create folders
    there and drag your photos/videos into different folders. But, we aware that you can drag folder or individual files
    from Project onto the Timeline.
    Does any of the above help? If so, I will know I am going in the right direction for what you want to know.
    What is with the painstakingly dropping/dragging one image at a time? Just how many images are in this project?
    We are glad for the opportunity to help.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Is there any way to transfer a video off of Facebook into my own video/camera roll?.......I got new service but didn't get to back up my phone so I lost a few videos, but they're uploaded to my Facebook and I wanted to get them back to my phone

    Is there any way to transfer a video off of Facebook into my own video/camera roll?.......I got new service but didn't get to back up my phone so I lost a few videos, but they're uploaded to my Facebook and I wanted to get them back to my phone

    No, but you can save a photo on FaceBook.
    Try downloading/saving the video from FaceBook on your computer. If successful, after doing so you can transfer the video to your iPhone along with any photos on your computer or alone. They transfer won't be in the Camera Roll, it will be in your iPhone's Photo Library.

  • Is there any way to view GoPro videos on an iPad 1?

    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Are you referring to opening your Premiere Elements project on your computer in an iPad Premiere Elements app at a remote location? I have not seen any Premiere Elements apps for iPad or other. But there are video editing apps for iPad which can be found described online and rated...if you are working with Mac, I think that an iMovie app is available for iPad.
    Premiere Elements 12 does get involved with your mobile device and accessing your videos/photos that were uploaded to Adobe Revel in the export section of the project.
    Also, I was wondering if you could be referring in any way to using your iPad as an external monitor for Premiere Elements on your computer.
    This appears to be a can do operation for Mac and Windows from what I have read.

  • Is there any way to merge 2 video layers to one without exporting?

    Is there any way to merge 2 video layers into one without exporting as a new QuickTime movie? I have tried opening a blank player to copy and paste into, but it always forces it to be layered, even when I change the layer numbers both to zero. I tried extracting the video layers and omitting the audio tracks. Then I saved it as a new self contained movie. I am trying to burn the video to dvd with Roxio Easy Media Creator 9's MyDVD on WIndows XP, but I am also using a MacBook with QuickTime Pro. MyDVD will only recognize one video and audio layer at a time, hence, the other layers get skipped. There should be an easy way to merge two video layers without having to export it as a new movie, which takes 2 hours for this 2 hour TV show. Thanks for any answers.

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

  • Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

    Hello,
    we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
    Thank you for your help
    Kind Regards

    Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
    Directly updating the DB could be an option ..
    Thanks

  • Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?

    Is there any way to work on one Catalog from two computers simultaenously?
    I have a catalog with 7000 images we have to process / crop / etc. and I was trying to find a way that two of us could work on the images at the same time.
    Thanks!

    No, the LR catalog is not multi user capable (and cannot reside on a network share without tricks). What you could do is
    export part of the catalog (a subset of all images) into a separate catalog ("Export as Catalog", without exporting the negatives)
    work on different images in the two catalogs at the same time
    re-import ("Import from Catalog") the exported work after adjustments on it is finished

  • Is there any way to prevent opening the lid from waking my MBP?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my screen on my MBP such that when the computer is asleep in its case the lid often comes ajar, wakes the computer, and drains the battery. Is there any way to prevent the lid opening from waking the computer?
    Thanks for any ideas on how to fix this.

    Option 3: Open Applications > Terminal and type sudo pmset lidwake 0 (you'll be prompted to enter your admin password). To revert to wake on lid open, use the Terminal command sudo pmset lidwake 1.
