Best $3K off the shelf system for CS5??

for us newbies...what
would be the Best $3K off the shelf system for CS5??
thx

ok...dell and hp steal
you blind on necessary upgrades...is the customer support and "security" offered by
them a good enough trade off with the "build it yourself/have it custom built" danger of not knowing what to do if/when things go wrong?
i am just looking to do low level (but high quality) professionasl stuff...i.e. budget weddings/training/memorials/recitals etc. and feel i am not far enough along on the high tech learning curve...but moving as fast as i can.
ALSO...and maybe this is another conversation...but:
is the miniDV tape (for SD and HDV) about over now and are we comletely into the "tapeless" video era?
thanks for all your help.

  • Help with Off the Shelf Computer for CS5

    Greetings, I am an amateur wildlife videographer. I currently edit HD footage (both tape and card) using CS4, but will be upgrading to CS5 after I get a new computer for it. I have just started to look and have some questions!  I am looking at HP's HPE390t (WIn7 Ult 64bit) Intel Corei7 960X six core Extreme Edition (3.33GHz, 1.5 MB L2 + 12 12MB shared L3 cache Memory 24GB DDR3 HD 2TB Raid 0.  Now comes the question which Nvidia graphics card  should I consider? I am looking at GeForce FTX 285 or better, also considering Quadro FX 3800. Any help is appreciated! Thank You Jean matusik

    thanks guys!

  • How to manage NOT off the shelf applications

    How do I manage applications that are large and not "off the shelf"
    For example I want to be able to look at my ERP and CRM systems and see which servers it is installed on, who supports it, when the contract is due etc. I will have a Development, QA and Production environment for each system.  Can this be accomplished
    with system center?  Or is there a plug in that will provide this level of functionality.  In the past I have seen products that allow a parent to be set up that encapsulates all of the files for such an application.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    If you want to report something, you first need to get that information somehow stored on to those servers so that ConfigMgr can read it. ConfigMgr isn't out of the box solution for everything, it always needs some configuration to get the desired results.
    If those applications you mentioned populate some information into the windows registry or WMI, it can be collected with ConfigMgr. If not, you have to create a custom method to do so (script).
    Here's a tool that can convert registry keys into WMI and after that the information can be collected with ConfigMgr:

  • How to turn off the authorization checks for a object in infoproviders?

    Hi - how can I turn off the authorization check for an object (ex: 0orgunit) in infoproviders?
    I have 0orgunit as an authorization-relevant object and is used in one of the cubes. When reports are run for this cube, this is causing authorization issues. The object is present in other cubes also but I have to remove or turn off the authorization check of this cube alone. How to do this? Please help.
    Thanks,
    Raj.

    Hi Raj,
    Srinivas, is right , however in BI7 the correct transaction is RSECADMIN and not RSADMIN.
    In BW3.5, use RSSM transaction to do thins.
    OR
    Go to transaction RSECAUTH ---> Choose  the authorization object that has been created for org unit(and has been assigned to the user). Go to change mode. Remove the cube from the dimension 0TCAIPROV
    If you are using old authorization concept in 3.5 or in 7.0
    Go to RSSM. In the checks for infoprovider, enter your infoprovider name. Choose change.Here you will see a checkbox to switch off the authorization.
    Hope this helps you,
    Best regards,
    Sunmit.

  • Lookout limitation​s and selection of the computer system for lookout

    This is regarding the limitation of the lookout i.e. upto how much IO lookout is reccomended to use.
    or it is on the basis of the l4p or lks file size basis.
    Do you have some criteria for the selection of the computer system for lookout on the basis of the IO's.
    is there any criteria by which we can check the execution cycle time for the lookout process.
    Is there any NI controller also avaiable for lookout applications?

    From what I have observed, there is no standard.  The best thing to do is to create test setups.
    Its entirely possible that a system with 100 IO may require more processing/memory than a 5000 IO system.  Database, archiving, reporting, analytics, etc.
    It is variable.
    Just for reference on our systems, we dont use the IO count for performance curves, we go based on the site configurations for the system.
    A site could be 1 pump, 6 pumps and a tank, 1 pump and a tank, 4 tanks, etc.  Consider than a tank may only take 5 IO and a well upwards of 50 IO each, we could hit 150-200 IO per site.
    Smaller systems (<10 sites) we have run very successfully on Atom based servers (not netbooks...).
    10-40 sites run well on basic dual-core workstations with 2GB or more of RAM
    40-100 we recommend quad-core servers with 4GB or more of RAM.
    (100+ gets a little more intricate)
    We try to make sure that the system is not more than 15% loaded (memory and/or CPU) by services at normal work.  Lots of room left over for future growth or unexpected workloads and backup routines.

  • Can I buy an upgraded 13" MBA right off the shelf?

    Hi, this will be my first time to buy a macbook that's why I'm not sure how it really goes. I am planning to buy a 13" MBA with Core i7 and 8GB RAM upgrades when I go to Hongkong this March. Can I buy it off the shelf? or do I need to order it first and have to wait for few days?
    Hope to get our response. Thank you!

    short answer - you will have to customise it online
    they sometimes have popular upgraded models in stock but less common configurations are usually online only. with the model you said i would say theres a slim chance of getting one off the shelf. it would also depend on the store (e.g. the big one in new york probably has all models in stock whereas some small store in a shopping center in texas somewhere probably only has a couple)
    one more thing - if you researched it already then just ignore this but i'm not sure if you can do the order & collect in hong kong or if its for US only, apple like to give the yanks lots of nice treatment then taunt the rest of us with them

  • Off-the-shelf products that can access DNG's XMP?

    I'm sorry if this is off-topic.
    I'm a photographer who uses DNG as my raw file format, and puts various things, (name, copyright statement, website, keywords, etc), into the DNGs, in the form of XMP. (Using Bridge + ACR). Then this XMP eventually gets into the PSDs, JPEGs, etc.
    I do so on the assumption that in future I will be able to get off-the-shelf tools that will do something useful with this. Asset managers, etc. Or perhaps tools that will add to it - for example, adding GPS log data. Etc.
    But this assumes that embedded XMP will be accepted as something that (non-Adobe) off-the-shelf tools will handle, perhaps routinely. I simply don't have a feel for whether that is the way the industry is going, or whether it will be concentrated in niche and specialised and bespoke tools. I would appreciate information of "routine" take-up.
    Thanks.
    (PLEASE don't give me a sales-pitch for XMP! I'm beyond the need for that).

    Thanks, johnbeardy. (And thanks for your recent suggestions, you know where, for classifying support for DNG, and even XMP).
    I am building up a picture here that the key to a sustainable DNG-based workflow isn't simply to have lots of tools, (by that I include "full blown applications"), that support DNG in some form. It is to have tools that can also exploit, in & out, the XMP metadata within the DNGs.
    The vision I am getting of the desirable future of raw shooting has DNG at the centre, as a container for the raw image, a lot of XMP metadata of various sorts, plus some other stuff. It isn't a product-centred vision, it is a DNG-containing-XMP centred vision.
    I suspect that this will be a hard vision to explain to others! You, and AlaskaBob, and Peter Krogh, and some, (probably not all), people in Adobe, won't have a problem - in fact, I'm a bit late on the scene. But there are very many people who can't even see the strategic advantages of DNG, let alone DNG-containing-XMP!
    Very illuminating! Thanks.

  • Off-the-shelf graphics cards... any luck with Lion?

    I've been hearing online ramblings about Lion being compatible with some off-the-shelf graphics cards and Wikipedia says the Radeon 6XXX HD cards are compatible, but has anybody tried any cards that aren't clearly labeled as Mac compatible?  I know, I know, only the "Made for Mac" cards are supposed to work but I'm hearing too much online to be satisfied with that response at this point.
    The GT 120 is just tired and I want the power of the 5870, but $400+ feels unfair.  I know it's only been out for a day, but I'm already itching to hear if anybody has tried anything new with Lion.

    Tried a XFX HD 4670 Radeon. Once booted everything works fine. Here are my findings:
    No boot up screen (therefore ability to change start up drive) expected based on other discussions
    The card seems to think that I have a second monitor connected - and I was not able to find a way to make it think otherwise.
    Overall the card was speedy and boosted my xbench and geekbench scores - but for now I am back to my GT120..

  • Off the shelf Flash chart with live update and slider?

    Does anyone know of any good off the shelf Flash line chart
    that has
    1. Live AJAX-type update of data (without reloading entire
    Flash chart)
    2. Horizontal axis slider to be able to zoom in (like the
    time slider on Google Finance)
    I have been using
    XML/SWF
    chart chart but find that its live update is clunky.
    Is doing a custom chart our best bet?
    Thanks! Chirag

    Hi,
    it was a bug, corrected in patch 4.0.1 (bug 9868860), see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/401-patch-166923.html#BABJCAFA.
    It's why it don't works with APEX 4.0.0.

  • Off the shelf portable-ish computer?

    Hi there, I'm looking to purchase an off the shelf, somewhat portable computer to run flash media live encoder for some webcasts.  I will probably be using the black magic or osprey capture card.  I figured the i7 chips are enough power, but I cannot tell which of the computers have a direct line of access to the processor from the PCIe slot.  Perhaps I am asking for too much out of a small form factor computer and I'll need to get a desktop, but just wanted to see if anyone out there is using something like this.  I will need to buy two of these machines so that I have a backup.
    Also if anyone has a laptop solution with a capture card that accepts HD-SDI, i'm all ears to that as well. Thanks for your help everyone.  I appreciate it.

    To add to my comment above, I just tested the new Dell Precision M4600  (2.3GHz Sandybridge quad i7-2827QM) laptop with the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 device and seems to work great.  I tested with the Kulabyte encoder and Blackmagic 8.x drivers, but since FMLE also seems to support the Blackmagic drivers I suspect it will work as well.
    The Intensity Shuttle is USB powered and has HDMI, Composite, and Component (HD) inputs.  Blackmagic also has the UltraStudio SDI which is a USB 3.0 SDI capture device and is USB powered and they have the UltraStudio Pro which is like the Intensity+SDI, but this one is line powered.
    This laptop also has Firewire and an ExpressCard slot so you can use Firewire capture devices, PCI capture devices like Blackmagic in an expansion box, or USB 3.0 capture devices.

  • Lightroom OEM vs Off the Shelf

    I purchased Lightroom 5 from an Amazon vender. The case is labeled, "FOR OEM BUNDLING ONLY" and "For bundling with computers, digital cameras, scanners, and inkjet printers only. Not to be sold separately." My question is: Does this disc contain the same full version of Lr5 that I would get if I bought it off the shelf at a computer or electronics store?

    yes - the software is the same (and is complete). granted you won't get all the same "trimmings" (documentation, packaging, ... ) along with it.

  • Is there any off the shelf credit card enryption/decrption tool available ?

    Since, Credit Card (CC) processing is very critical , my company is looking for options which are available in the market -ready to use !!!
    Is there any off the shelf credit card enryption/decrption tool available ?

    What is "credit card encryption/decryption"?
    1) Are you willing to encrypt and decrypt credit card numbers in a safe way, to store them in a database?
    - JCE and crypto
    2) Are you willing to communicate with the credit card companies to perform credit card transactions in a safe way?
    - Contact them; there are third-party companies that sell solutions for communicating with Visa, Mastercard etc; the credit card company can tell you what company they recommend
    3) Are you trying to validate the credit card numbers (no online processing needed, just validate the card numbers in Javascript)

  • Print-off the scanned images for vendor invoices

    Required report.
    Print-off the scanned images for vendor invoices
    Basically, his selection screen will be:
                Vendor Invoice   XXXXXXXXXX  to    XXXXXXXXXX
    Once the user executes the program a list of invoices is presented to the screen.
    Then the user will be able to select one or several of these invoices and click a ‘print’ button.
    However, the attachments are stored in Adobe .pdf format.
    Kind Regards
    Mark H,

    Hi,
    Write a report to fetch the data from Tables RBKP and RSEG for the vendor INvoices,  based on the Invoice No(BELNR) entered on the Selection screen.
    display them with the required fields on the first list. Take a single  CHAR field in the internal table for CHECK BOX and display that Internal Table fields.
    Keep buttons (SELECT and PRINT) on the MENU of the output screen  for processing the selected records on the output and printing the selected records in the interactive report using AT USER-COMMAND function.

  • How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.
