Audio question for new tv

Hi all.
We bought a new panasonic plasma and pick it up tomorrow and the ONLY audio out is the (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT) and my receiver has only a (Digital sa-cd cd input) and Im hoping that that input on the receiver will work with the out of my tv. I think that because it's still a digital input on the receiver it's going to work.
PLEASE tell me this will work.
Thanks for any help offered. heres a pic of the input if that makes any difference
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Does the connector on the TV's output look the same?
There are two fairly widely used standards for digital audio:
Coaxial S/PDIF (usually an orange RCA connector)
Optical (often called TOSLINK) - the input on your receiver is a TOSLINK input.
It looks like you just need a TOSLINK cable between the TV and the receiver. You may need to tweak the TV's settings to output an audio format the receiver understands - TOSLINK allows for many different formats, but many receivers only support a subset of them. (Raw digital stereo at 48 kHz and Dolby Digital are supported by nearly everything. DTS is less well supported, as are higher sampling rate raw formats.)

Audio question for you Premiere Pro vets...

Hi there -
FCP editor here who is loving the new PPro CS5 and is trying to convince my studio to do our next show on it.
I'm having trouble with one particular audio situation and so far all the help documents I've read aren't giving me an answer:
I'm trying to export a quicktime file with multiple audio tracks. For example: track 1 is a stereo track with all the camera audio, while track 2 is a stereo track with Music & effects. This would create a similar situation of a TV show dumped to tape with channels 1&2 program audio, and channel 3&4 Music and Effects.
My assumed path would be to create 2 submixes: 1 "camera" and 2 "music & Effects." I was then hoping to export a quicktime with each sub mix as a separate audio track inside the exported quicktime. Is this correct?
Can anyone help an old man out?

Thanks so much for helping with this. I can only hope that Todd sees it also.
I have submitted a feature request. Regardless, the ability to map tracks to channels, and the ability to create quicktime files with multiple audio tracks is definitely something that should be possible.
If you're wondering more about the applied use: Besides being able to map tracks to an audio channel for tape, the most important time when this is used is this: At the end of a TV show it's customary for us to export a final quicktime with program audio and music separated: 2 audio tracks in one quicktime. If we want director commentary, that also becomes another audio track inside the quicktime. A "track" can be stereo or mono.
It creates a single quicktime file where all audio elements are separated, allowing us to distribute a single file to multiple departments who may have unique editing/sound requirements. Simplifies things a lot.
As it stands now, we would have to take the quicktime/audio elements back into Final Cut Pro or AVID to achieve this. (Unless someone else knows a way to do in Premiere - I'm all ears).

Migration Question for New Leopard Mac Mini

Oh my... I have a new Leopard Mac Mini still in the box!
I want to connect it up and migrate my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, etc. to it from my old Mac Mini but here's the thing: my old Mac Mini is a G4, powerpc mac has been through a sort of mini **** lately and at this time will need it's hard disk repaired before I will be able to get it back up to 10.4.11 and Safari 3.0.4. that it had had only last week, before all manner of disasters happened after the last security update. Genius bar made it relatively functional by re-installing the OS but they used 10.4.7 and Safari 2.0.4. to do it! So here is my question: Do I need to get my PPC Mac back up to snuff completely before I can migrate stuff from it to the new Leopard Mac Mini or can I do the migration and get everything nice and lovely on the new machine even though there are still problems on the old Mac Mini?
Here is the problem that the PPC G4 Mac Mini has at this time:
Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid index key
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Would this pose a problem in the migration?
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! -Charlotte

The best thing I can say about your post is that at least you realize that Installing Leopard on a broken Tiger and a G4 processor files is exactly how hundreds of the problems are being caused. Too many people have decided that "Apple Just Works" and figure that installing the newest most complex MacOS ever will just work. These people are getting "worked".
Good Luck cleaning up your machine to tip-top shape to 10.4.11, with every update for every program you intend to transfer. Your drive must be squeeky clean, or you will have problems that nobody can explain. I'd recommend removing any applications you don't have to have or that you can reinstall easily with a program like App Zapper and get rid of the G4 system files as much as possible.

Selling old iPhone 3g - erased, removed sim questions for new buyer

I have an old 3g that we have service turned off on, i did the erase all content thing and removed the sim, phone restared and said I needed to hook it up to itunes and it needed the sim againput the sim back in, got the phone back to what looks like day one (then removed the sim after itunes set it up as a new phone vs using exsiting restore or backup).
So now the phone has no sim and everything appears to be there in terms of the basic apps nothing i can see has any of my info or history on it.
My question is if I sell this like this how does the new buyer install apps on it thru the app store, i can access wifi and watch youtube stuff but when I tried to install a free app but it just keeps asking for existing or new acct, if they setup a new acct and that 3g has no sim card will they be able to access and download content to it (also if they setup a new acct in itunes can they purchase apps with that too)?
I am pretty tech dumb when it comes to that sort of thing, noting sensitive on the phone realy even before the erase, but if i sell it like this I just didnt want the new buyer to somehow be able to buy apps on my acct (the itunes existing acct stuff is all blank I checked it), but i do want them to be able to get apps on the phone for their own use thru wifi so I am guessing they just have to create their own itunes acct and then even without the sim it would let them grab apps?
Or do they need a sim, if so will att give them a blank or is the phone basically useless without it (I thought I heard never give out my sim even tho the phone is deactivated I wasnt sure on security).
Thanks for anyone who can clear this up for me, don't wanna sell it and find out i didn't follow some rule of safety for my own acct etc.
Bill

Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings.
In that order and you're good. I've never removed a SIM before selling and I haven't had any problems. Also they would need a new SIM to activate sevice so any potential for your information going to the device after sold is gone.
Hope that helps

Old user, questions for new forums

the last time that i needed to DL extensions was right after
the macromedia/adobe merger. being a longtime dreamweaver user, i
was very familiar with the exchange and had no problem with it
except that i was a bit slow to browse through. and, also, being a
longtime photoshop user, i was familiar with the adobe
support/downloads/forums etc. as well.
i have a new computer and am now using dw 8 and am looking
for some dw extensions. the exchange no longer lists information
about the software compatibility of the extensions. so i came to
the forum to look for information. the dw general forum lists
119814 topics, and yet i can only access 2 pages (40 topic).
my next step was to seek out a _forum_ forum. the closest
thing i found, linked from
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/index.html
(which also links to this forum) was under general/forum
comments. i discovered that it required a different log-in
procedure, requiring a first/last name for user, instead of the
email address that this forum requires. well, this turns out to be
defined as a &quot;user to user&quot; forum and
restricted to only that. for example, the faq had a question
regarding downloads (i'm thinking maybe i'll find a link to a
better-functioning dw exchange). but the answer to this
&quot;faq&quot; was &quot;there are no
downloads in the user to user forum&quot;.
i want to be able to get dw extensions and to locate a forum
that addresses this activity. i also want to locate a forum that
discusses the functionality of the support forums in general.
and, possibly, most importantly, i want to be able to access
more than just the 40 most recent postings in a forum that claims
to have almost 12,000 topics.
thanks,
jf

PCIe Audio Cards for new '09 Mac Pro? (more detailed)

Hi Guys/Gals
I bit the bullet and just upgraded from my Dual 2.7Ghz (LC) G5 to a new 2.66Ghz 8-core MacPro. I now have to find a PCIe audio card (stereo is fine). I used to use an RME Hammerfall 3296 PCI card in my trusty G5 as an alternative audio out (Digi 003R for ProTools and Logic Pro 8 etc.). Do you know of any PCIe audio cards? I just want to use it for iTunes etc as the Digi doesn't allow play through via core audio etc. I already use the optical with my Logitech surrounds but want to send the iTunes stereo signal to my main amp and pro speakers for auditioning cd's and songs.
Thanks in advance!
Bobs

Good point on obsolete! I'm sure there's some new flavour on the way soon too.
Basically, all my firewire ports are used up, I have a Digidesign 003R, 2 FW 800 externals, a FW 400 external HD and an Apple iSight. I tried a Kingston FW hub but got lots of crashes/freezes with it so i can up on that! I may have to resort to either a USB type I/O (lots to choose from there). Someone suggested I use an Airport Express but the problem is that Apple's core audio sends the same signal out the analog audio as it does the optical outs too so I need a completely separate device.
You're right though, I may have to give in on the PCIe card option as most cards are for high end audio and I don't need that. I only need to play stereo tracks from iTunes to my main amplifier.
Thanks again!

Cisco ACS questions for new deployment

Hi all, I am designing a new Cisco ACS deployment to handle AAA services for all our network devices. I have read the user guides and I understand the different deployment scenario's. However, what i could not find in the user guide, were answers to the questions below...
Number of AAA clients, using command authorisation, that a single ACS server can handle?
Does a Large Add-On license (for more than 500 nodes) need to be purchased for every ACS server, or does one license cover the whole deployment?
How is AAA load-balancing performed? Does each AAA server need to be defined individually on every Network device? Or is there some intelligence build in to the AAA servers so that they can distribute the load themselves? Or can a load balancer be used like you can with Cisco ISE PSN nodes?
Thanks
Mario

Supported number of clients depends on License for example
The base license is required for all deployed software instances and for all appliances. The base license enables you to use all ACS functions except license-controlled features, and it enables standard centralized reporting features.
The base license:
Is required for all primary and secondary ACS instances.
Is required for all appliances.
Supports deployments that have a maximum of 500 NADs.
The following are the types of base licenses:
Permanent—Does not have an expiration date. Supports deployments that have a maximum of 500 NADs.
Evaluation—Expires 90 days from the time the license is issued. Supports deployments that have a maximum of 50 NADs.

Video card question for new iMac

Howdy all,
I'm about to order a new BTO iMac, and I'm wondering if somebody could give me feedback on the two different video cards available.
Cost is not really a concern here (I would rather spend more on the video card and cut back on something like RAM for now because RAM can be upgraded later). My main concern is performance and the best image quality.
I understand the NVidia would be faster for 3D gaming than the ATI - which I would use a little bit. So the NVidia would seem to be a no-brainer.
However, I've heard a couple people (on various forums) state that although the NVidia is definitaly faster for gaming - it performs slower than the ATI at some tasks like iMovie and iDVD tasks and text scrolling and motion are not as good.
For me, I would love to have the faster 3D gaming speed of the NVidia for the few times I do game...but the most important thing to me is image quality for things like photo and video editing, working with documents etc. Are any of these thoughts regarding the NVidia vs ATI true?
Does anybody have any advice regarding the performance these two cards? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I had the 20" 2.16 (late 2006 model) with the x1600 128MB and now have the 24" 2.8 2600Pro 256MB and 2G stock RAM. It's night and day with Call of Duty 2. I am able to play COD2 in 16:9 mode, all graphic settings max'd out and the fps? Wow! One most maps it ranges between 190-270fps! That smokes the previous version of 40-90fps. One the most complex maps my 24" drops to 90-110 range. Seriosuly, anything above about 60fps is perfectly playable! I'm thrilled with the stock card. However, COD2 is older, I play it native in OS X and do not game in boot camp. That may change a few things.

Conexant Smart Audio Question for W510

Out of curiosity, does the Smart Audio program need to be open or in the system tray for settings to be in effect? If you choose the "run in system tray" option it eats 50MB memory. If you change settings (equalizer, microphone, etc.) and then close the program, does that mean they aren't active and your sound is only using Windows settings?

Hi mikeynavy1
If I did not remember wrongly, Conexant for W510 is not under a service or 2. If you need the effect, you have to choose run in system tray" option. Yes. If you disabled SmartAudio during startup. When you open SmartAudio, it will load back to the system tray.
Cheers

Audio question for XL1/FCP users.....

Hi,
I used an XL1 with radio mic and need to know what is the best way to capture my audio.
FCP gives me the option of capturing the 1st 2channels, the 2nd 2 channels, or a 4 channel mix....
Now the first two channels are the on camera mic, the 2nd two channels are the wireless mic.
Is it best to capture the 2nd 2 channels as that audio is more important but I would also like to have the on camera audio just in case of drop outs? So how does fcp capture the 4 channel mix? Is the left side the first two channels and the right side the 2nd two channels or are all 4 channels mixed together with no separation?
Just wondering because if I want both sets of audio would I have to capture the audio twice?
thanks for the replies...
mthespian

That's exactly what I did....Just doing a test of the 4 channel mix was and is useless to me...I need to control the wireless separately to the on camera stereo mix so I captured the audio twice. A little more work, capture wise, but the wireless is great on it own with a little from the on camera mic.
that's for everyone's input....I basically did some tests first and then went from there....

Demarc question for new construction & installs RG6, RG9, Cat5e, Cat6????

I am having a new home built in a neibrohood that has GigaPower in Austin.. What I can't seem to find out is what kind of connection GigaPower uses from the outside of the house to the inside of the house? I need to tell my builder what kind of cabling to make sure is connected between the demarc and my networking cabinet. (for instance does GigaPower actually connect a fiber all the way to the modem? or does it connect to a transeiver on the side of the house and convert to some form of copper... and to that end what form of copper?) Thanks all

The Optical Network Terminal (ONT) mounted on the outside of your house will be connect to the Residential Gateway on the inside of your home using Cat 5e/Cat 6 Ethernet cabling.
My understanding is that the ONT is powered by an AT&T provided Power Supply Unit plugged into a wall outlet inside your home within 100' of the ONT. This contains more inforrmation (though I'm not sure that the BBU information is current).

Streaming question for new upgrade - loading library

It appears that with the new version, if I'm streaming, and if I go out of music to check or change settings, or do some other function, that when I go back to listening I have to load the library and wait for it. This is new, right? and a pain.

It's true. I ended up switching to syncing just a small portion of my library. I've found when I do this, it doesn't try to load the library each time, but all the un-sync'd items are still available in atv for streaming.
This is not a great upgrade, in my opinion. Lots of strange stuff - like if you do set up true streaming all your media ends up in the menu item "shared..". The way Apple locks down atv to the local network, wouldn't all shared media be "my" media? Why separate out the My stuff from the Shared stuff? Simplified User Experience is not a phrase I'd use to describe the 2.0 upgrade.
