Audio related question

I am interested in using the "MIDI-over-ethernet" capability, but I have heard reports of its unreliability. has this improved in 10.4.9?
thanks

Always start with the cleanest (best signal to noise ratio) audio.
If you have two clips as you describe, match levels at the desired volume and choose the cleanest one.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
ible?
(2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
(3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
(4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

Hi Vishal,
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

Two related questions: ColdFusion 10/Java applications and J2EE supported servers

I have two related questions:
1. CF10 and integration with Java Web applications
We have a couple of Java applications running on JRun and interfacing with CF9 applications. The JRun clusters were created through the JRun Admin and, apart from lack of Axis 2.0 support, have served us well for years now. And, as would be the case, the ColdFusion9/Java/Flash application is a critical public-facing application that the business uses for bidding on projects.
It appears that with ColdFusion 10 on Tomcat, we will not be able to run those Java applications on a Tomcat-CF10 JVM cluster. Is this correct? IF so, what are our options?
2. J2EE Application Servers supported by Adobe for CF10
Which of these is correct?
A. This URL (http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-enterprise/faq.html) states "ColdFusion 10 supports IBM® WebSphere, Oracle® WebLogic, Adobe JRun, Apache Tomcat, and JBoss."
B. This URL (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf1 0/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf) states:
"J2EE application servers: WebLogic Server 10.3, 11.1, WebSphere Application Server 7, ND 7 JBoss 5.1, 6.0, 7.1.0"
I *think* "A" above is wrong re. support for Adobe JRun. It does not specify a version of Apache Tomcat unless it is simply referring to the custom version the comes with CF10.
Option "B" above shows no support of Adobe JRun or 'standard' Apache Tomcat.
Thanks,
Scott

Question 1 above was answered: "No support for Java web applications under CF10's custom version of Tomcat"
Question 2: No answer yet: Is Apache Tomcat (NOT Adobe's customized version) supported for CF10 J2EE deployment? I do not see any installation instructions on how to install CF10 on Apache Tomcat 6 or 7.
Is anybody using Apache Tomcat as their J2EE app servers and, again, NOT Adobe's customized/limited version?
Thanks,
Scott

PM/EAM related questions posted in PLM forum

Hi,
I was going through some of the threads available in PLM forum, but to my surprise, most of the threads posted are related to PM, which should have been posted in EAM forum. It was clearly mentioned by the moderator in one of the sticky thread [PLM-Forumsplit - Please ensure you are using the right forum|PLM-Forumsplit - Please ensure you are using the right forum;

Despite the clear instructions given my the moderator, PM related questions are still posted to PLM forum and some of the active participant of EAM forum answers these questions in PLM forum. It would be nice if those threads are moved to appropriate forum, so that the relevant informations are available under one forum, also, PLM forum should be monitored regularly and inappropriate threads are to be moved to their respective forum.

I hate to say this, but I often see the same thing, and I've never been able to figure out exactly what triggers selectability vs. non-selectability, but I suspect some of it has to do with tranparency flattening in particular, and possibly text wrap in cases where that comes into play. ID optimizes the PDF it creates, I think, and that might cause text, or even images, to be broken into chunks in funny ways. It occurs to me that turning off optimzing for fast web view might help in this regard.

I tried to explain that we watch Netflix and XFinity on-demand alot and I was told that that can not be anywhere close to the data usage. I checked my router and watching a "super HD, dolby 5.1" TV show on Netflix will average about 5-6 GB per hour (1.6MB/s) ... sp this means that I can only watch no more than 1-2 Super HD TV shows a day via Netflix before I run out of my data usage. This seems a bit redicilous doesn't it? Maybe the TV ads about the higher speed than the competition should be accompanied with "as long as you don't use it too often" Not a good experience ...

Ok, I’ve been developing Windows apps since Win 3.1 (yeah, a long time) and have always admired the Microsoft attitude towards Developers and it’s desire to educate and empower R&D.
So, I’m wondering what’s going on? Why am I being asked to have an account to develop anything for MY own PC? Why am I being asked for my Microsoft account password, repeatedly, when I’m just looking up documentation on UserControl or C3 keywords…
repeatedly? This is nothing short of annoying and it gives me pause and concern about the ecosystem. Is the plan to lock down programmer’s capabilities, knowledge and tools?
I’m involved in the TAP program for Windows 10 and have voiced concerns in the same category with regard to installation and deployment of Universal Apps. Security is not a reasonable excuse. Some of us love to program and actually
control their PCs. We are not planning to sell everything we write on the Windows Store. What happened to programming something cool for your home network or just for friends? We need, and used to have, Microsoft’s support in doing
this sort of thing. Documentation and tools are more important now than ever. I’m saddened to see the direction things are heading…
If there is a sane reason I’m being badgered to ‘log in’ to read .NET documentation every hour, please share. If not, please consider lobbying to get things back on track.

Button, or other panel related question

so, if any of you have read my previous topic about painting rectangles in a panel, that worked great, but now i need to mkae those rectangles components so that when someone hovers over it or clicks on it it displays information at a certain area. I know how to make listeners and how to add buttons in a panel, BUT how do I add buttons at a specific coordinate. This program graphs data on a specific scale and therefore adding a button in the approximate area using a grid layout will not be good enough. Is there anyway for me to place the the button/component/object at the extact location that I want?
thanks in advance

In future GUI related questions should be posted in the appropriate GUI forum (likely Swing).

Multitrack Audio Capture question ...Not DV related :)

I am wanting to use FCP 5 to capture multitrack audio from a firewire interface such as the MOTU 828mkII while capturing video from my Kona LS at the same time.
the FCP 5 page says, "Multichannel audio lets you capture and output up to 24 channels of high-resolution 24-bit, 96kHz audio in a single pass."
I'm not sure if that means that you can capture up to 24 channels while you are capturing video or if the multitrack audio capture requires timecode syncing and capturing audio and video separately. The reason I'm trying to do this is that I want to capture the video and multi track audio live rather than recording to a deck with timecode and syncing it up later. I know this isn't the typical way to do it and that FCP capture is a less reliable way to record than a VTR. I'm aware of my Kona card's multiple audio channels, but I am specifically interested in a multi track audio interface (such as MOTU 828mkII).
I've searched the forums and internet for weeks and I can't find anyone who has suggested that this work. Will a 828mkII just show up as another audio capture device in FCP that will record more than 2 channels during video/audio capture?
Thanks!

Hi gevus, I know this is somewhat late and if you haven't already found another solution then I would suggest that you purchase a pci sound card e.g. Soundblaster Live can be had for as little as $35.00 from Newegg.com (a very reliable online store with free shipping most of the time). I capture video with my 9600 aiw pro and use a sb live...my mb also came with an onboard sound processor (nforce2) however, I still prefere the flexability of the Live card...plus dispite reviews on this nforce2 onboard sound as being as good as Live I disagree I listen to (and watch) alot of movies on my computer and have a pair of BOSE headphones. I cound definetely notice a difference in sound quality. I dont know your video needs but the Audigy card by Creative Labs is even better if you need or want real good quality reproduction however, remember that the audio sorce is the real key to good sound.

MDM 5.5 related questions

Dear Roman,
We have been reading all of your blogs and articles on SDN.
We have many questions related to SAP MDM 5.5, few of which are listed below:
Q1. Whether cross compatibility for different ERPs will be provided or not? (for Siebel, PeopleSoft etc)
In case of MDM 3.0, it was supposed to be developed on Project Basis.
[Rytov, Roman] Since MDM is an SAP's product I don't know (and don't think) any transformation vehicle will be provided for 3-d party products out of the box. On the other hand, anyone can get all necessary knowledge to bring external data into MDM and back. I've been working with several customers placing MDM as a data hub (a scenario that for some reason hasn't gotten a separate bullet in the MDM scenarios diagram but widely adopted by customers). So you can bring data from external systems to MDM (by either the APIs or with help of the ImportManager) and distribute it back to the same (or other) systems leveraging the Syndicator or the APIs again.
     [Satyen] With the help of APIs/ Import manager, we can get the data from external systems into the SAP MDM but then <b>we need to have functional knowledge</b> to do mapping manually between MDM business objects and different business objects as Material from CRM, Business Partner from CRM, Business partner Relationships from CRM. In one of the blogs by Kevin Isaacson , its mentioned that SAP MDM is packaged with predefined repository and import maps for the supported objects like material, vendor, customer.
     1. So whats the exact scenario for cross-client support? Do these import maps provided by SAP support external systems like PeopleSoft, Siebel?
     2. In the SAP MDM 5.5 Import Manager document provided by SAP, its not talking about client connectivity but only about how import can be done? Where can we find this information?
     3. Is XI completely removed from IT scenarios? If yes, then how is it going to take care of data transfer with different data sources?
     4. Can you please elaborate more about DATA HUB scenario? I believe, Oracle is also coming with similar technology to SAP MDM which supports only Central Master Data Management scenario. In Oracle terminology, they call it Central Data Hub (CDH).
Q2. Can we build a legacy system on top of Central Repository? If yes, how? Is Reverse Engineering possible?
[Rytov, Roman] I'm not sure I understood the question but you may probably treat your MDM system similar to a RDBMS with an additional intelligent layer. In this light you can build on top of MDM whatever you want by using either the APIs only or by leveraging the ImportManager and the Syndicator. I tell you that one of the customers that uses MDM as a data hub at the same time in another MDM repository stores exceptions and other technical messages occurring during integration workflow with external systems. So they have a workflow module which uses MDM as a persistence (MDM itself) and a presentation layer (the client) for managing exception handling. Only your fantasy and the common sense limit applicability of MDM.
     [Satyen] I understand that by using APIs, we can access the underlying RDBMS tables of MDM repository but then
       1. how can we link the complex relationships maintained between Main Table & various Lookup tables, main table & special tables?
       2. I believe the data in the MDM repository is maintained in a very complex way (Delimiter separated) and is manipulated on the fly by the C++ code using pointers & rich/efficient string operations. So how can we access it directly and make use of data from the repository?
       3. In case of WorkFlow module, since it is quite independent of Main table and lookup table linkages, we can make use of it for persistence but then for other modules, it must be quite complex thing to do so.
Q3. Will there be separate repositories for IT scenarios, GDS & Catalog publishing?
[Rytov, Roman] GDS is a separate application although built upon MDM. It has its own repository which can be accessed from the client. I don't know if there are any limitation on such concurrent usage. I have to check it and will come back to you.
     [Satyen] We attended the Webinar hosted by Klaus David on GDS 1.0, as per that GDS maintains its own repository which can co-exist along with MDM repository on the same DBMS server but then in MDME, which mainly covers business scenarios only, does not really talk about Master Data harmonization, central master data management.
     1. If it is the case, then dont you think itll be duplication of efforts for maintaining various repositories for GDS, MDME & IT scenarios?
Can we have an illustrated difference between Qualified field, Qualifiers, Product families & Data Groups?
[Rytov, Roman] It's a big topic but in a few words the answer is: Qualified fields and qualifiers are means and tools of qualifier lookup tables. I'm writing now a set of articles talking about it and update you when it's ready. Product families are similar to virtual taxonomy. So you create an additional level of your taxonomy but virtually, choosing attributes to classify it. No additional branches are created. Data group is just an hierarchical structure for storing binary objects (PDF, TextBlocs, Images and others). It helps organize not structured binary data and link it later to your catalog's objects.
     [Satyen] We understood about the product group.
     1. Can you provide the exact definition of Qualifier? Whether is it a part of Main table or Qualified Lookup table?
     2. Whats the exact difference between Sub-category and Product family? As per SAP document, the product family is a kind of taxonomy with some common Fields AND/OR Attributes. Can you provide some example about it?
How data is harmonized in SAP MDM 5.5? What is the difference between Syndicator, GDS & SCM?
(Don't they have overlapping functionality?)
[Rytov, Roman] Let's see. The Syndicator is a tool opposite to the ImportManger - to export data from MDM to flat or XML file (currently implemented formats). GDS is an application for retail market built upon MDM. SCM - isn't it a SAP-based (ABAP) application? I'm not from the ABAP world so I don't know it. But there are few SAPBased applications having master-data module built in. Depending on business needs and technical requirements such modules can keep on serving their roles with or without integration with an external MDM. I'm trying to say again that there are no predefined MDM scenarios and some customer may wish use it as a central point of truth but others as a cleansing gate or a translator hub. An architect team should understand capability and cost of every module and in every concrete case make appropriate decisions.
     [Satyen] According to the SAP documents, we can use Syndicator to syndicate data with UCCNet, Transora (both of which are now going to merge).
     1. If its the case then why GDS is separately required in whole MDM scenario? Is it not overlapping the functionality of each other? Then how GDS can become a separate Business Scenario for SAP MDM 5.5?
Let me ask you a few questions. Did you take the basic standard 4-day course about MDM5.5? It's mandatory to kick off MDM learning and understanding.
[Satyen] Now in second week of August, we are going to attend the 5 days workshop conducted by SAP at Bangalore, India which can help us in understanding SAP MDM 5.5 in a much better way!
To understand how MDM fits to a system landscape I advise you to listen to my e-Book if you haven't yet found it:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/url.sdn?res=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.sdn.wcm.compound.docs/library/events/webinars/mdme in your it landscape/mdme 5.5 in your it landscape
[Satyen] Thanks for providing the URL. Its really useful! Is there any way by which we can download this presentation with audio?
We're developing a 2-day workshop for advancing MDM data modeling which will mostly be comprised of hands-on experience and brainstorming discussions. It's planned somewhere in October but for now it's not clear when and where it will be given.
[Satyen] Its definitely going to be very helpful to everyone as in SAP MDM 5.5, you can design the repository in various ways. So these discussions/brain storming sessions will be really useful to everyone. Please let us also know about it.
Good luck with MDM!
[Satyen] Once again thanks for everything!!

Thanks in advance.

Separate Audio/Video Question

I'm in the midst of transitioning from iMovie/iDVD to Final Cut Studio. In the last chapter of FCP6: Beyond the Basics, I sent a sequence to Compressor and generated an Audio file and a Video file. The book didn't really say anything about what happens next. I tried it with my first FCP video, (which I had previously simply exported as a QT file and dropped into iDVD, and as I write this I can see that it processing a Dolby Digital file and an MPEG-2. Admittedly, I haven't cracked the book on DVD Studio Pro yet, in fact, I haven't really opened the app except to glance at the interface, and my question will probably be answered there, but what's going to happen next. When I open up DVD Studio Pro, will I be selecting both of these files for the project and then they'll just automatically sync?

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Let's keep this thread focused on the dialing issue, and I suggest you take up the picture/messaging issue in a separate thread in the Audio, Video and Photos board.
First question is whether the phone has behaved this way from day one, or if it just started after working correctly for a few weeks. You could try soft-resetting the phone...remove the battery and wait a minute, then reinsert, start it up and try again. If that doesn't work, a Hard Reset might be in order, which wipes everything clean and lets you start over. This can correct issues relating to corrupt data or conflicting third-party applications which may have found their way onto the Centro. This article discusses the various types of Reset for different Palm devices.
After the Hard Reset, do not synchronize the phone with your desktop. See if the phone works normally.
Another issue might be a bad SIM card, but I don't know enough about that...the folks at the AT&T store should be able to verify whether the card is good or not.
If all else fails, return it to your AT&T store for a replacement. AT&T has a 30-day return policy for any reason.
Good luck, please let us know how it turns out.

Audio quality questions

New to iTunes here. I think I'm settling in on using AAC at 256 kbs, VBR On as my default import mode for CDs onto my PowerBook HD as a decent compromise between quality/size. But I don't know what the difference is regarding the sample rate options of 44.1 vs 48 kHz. Right now I've got it set to auto, but am wondering what is the difference? And, any opinions regarding VBR On or Off on iTunes 7.5?
Also, how good in general is the output from a PowerBook (or various iPods) if playing an original CD or Apple Lossless file through a good stereo, vs. playing the same CD on a dedicated CD player on the same good stereo? Hope that made sense. What I am trying to get at is, I haven't been able to find any discussion on the relative quality of the D/A conversion or preamp capabilities of the portable players compared to "real" stereo equipment. Reason for asking is I had thought about ripping my CDs as Lossless, but figured I might not be getting all that the files could deliver if played back through average-level portables. Thanks for any insights or test links.

Sounds okay. Use Apple Lossless if you can spare the storage space or have a dedicated drive for your music. Then you won't have to rip your CDs again later if you find your needs change.
But I don't know what the difference is regarding the sample rate options of 44.1 vs 48 kHz. Right now I've got it set to auto, but am wondering what is the difference?
As Matthew Morgan rightfully pointed out, CD-DA uses 44.1 kHz, so don't upsample.
And, any opinions regarding VBR On or Off on iTunes 7.5?
It really doesn't make too much difference SQ-wise. Most likely, you'll just end up with bigger files on average with VBR enabled.
Also, how good in general is the output from a PowerBook (or various iPods) if playing an original CD or Apple Lossless file through a good stereo, vs. playing the same CD on a dedicated CD player on the same good stereo?

That's the toughest of your questions. Macs support bit-perfect pass-through out of the box when using digital out, so this is great for using your computer as a transport to an outboard DAC. Even the line out (in analog mode) of most recent Macs is pretty good in comparison with most "stock" computer hardware, as Apple tends to use very good DACs in their computers. My latest and greatest setup is as follows:
Hard drive containing Apple Lossless music > AirPort Express > harman/kardon HD 970 CD player (with digital input and extremely high quality DAC) > HeadAmp Gilmore Lite + Dedicated Power Supply > lots of different headphones.
There are many options you have as far as FireWire or USB DACs to use as a good and clean source for your music listening, and most of them have decent built-in headphone amplifier sections as well as support for balanced/unbalanced analog outputs for connecting to powered speakers or other hi-fi equipment, digital (coaxial or Toslink) output(s), and so forth.
iPods sound very good when using a line-out dock (there are many of them on the market) rather than the headphone jack. I use mine with an ALO Audio Cryo Micro Dock, a Ray Samuels Audio Hornet "M" headphone amplifier, and Etymotic ER-4S IEMs. I've been very happy with this portable setup for the past year, and really have no desire to improve upon it.

I have several questions, but first I would like to say I know that FMS can record a stream to the server. I have developped a test application and understand how this works. My intent is to hopefully find a better solutions for my task. It seems that what I'm trying to do isn't standard if possible, and I am have no luck on finding anything on the web.
Is it possible to get raw audio byte array? In C++ (Window OS) there are Waveform Functions that allow a process to capture audio in a byte array (waveInOpen). Is there simular functionality in Flash? That is, is there a way to get a byte array of the audio stream?
Is it possible to get raw video byte array? I have found that you can draw video to a BitmapData type. This wouldn't give me a good solution. Again relating this to C++, is there an equivalent to Video Capture Macros (capSetCallbackOnVideoStream)? That is, is there a way to capture raw video byte array?
Also, both of these needs to be going on while both audio/video are connected to a netstream.
If both of these are possible, my questions would be can the same be done for remote Audio/Video from a remote computer? I assume that since a remote netstream is connected to a Video type it can be drawn to a BitmapData type, but how would you get audio data?
My next step would be to send these byte arrays to an external app using Flash BinarySocket.
Any direction, link, suggestions, and/or comment would be appreciated.

Hi,
note: I'm not expert
#1
yes, AIR uses SQLite (3.6.*.? now one exactly knows as it is undocumented and sqlite_version() native function will throw runtime error to be handled)
#2
it depends for what purpose it will be used and how, yes? e.g.:

there is an option now to create native installer for platform which could be send off-line. It asks user to overwrite content if application is already installed, etc
#5
please define "interact" with USB? as disk or interface to talk with some device? Air itself cannot talk to low level ports but could start native process (NativeProcess) to some application/tool/process that could act as middle-tier between your application and usb:
