Camera Control software

Hello out there,
I own a Canon XL2 and wanted to buy their camera control software but it only supports PC's...go figure that one! Anyway, I was wondering if there was any professional type control software for the Mac and this camera. I need the built in wave form monitor, vector scope and the software to have the capability of inputing the menu settings.
Thanks

The only control software for Canon's I know of is this one here:
http://www.felixtheissen.com/apps/Web-Site/custom%20presets%20editors%20for%20ma c%20and%20win.html
It's beta, unsupported, and actually meant for Canon's HDV (XH/XL-H) cameras.
At least it's free, so you could still give it a try.
Best regards, Oliver

  • Camera control and Monitor Software

    Hi All,
    Two questions, quasi-related.
    First, does anyone know of any camera control software for Sony? I have a TR27 and an HDR FX1.
    Second, does anyone have any experience with monitoring software? Specifically, I am looking at the Red Lightning DV Monitor software. It would be nice to go from the camera directly to the hard drive. Also, is there any software which lets you monitor more than one camera simultaneously?
    Thanks. Any input/links would be helpful and appreciated.

    They should produce the same EXACT version of the RAW file.
    The profiles are meant to give approximately the same rendering concerning tone and color. You cannot render the exact same thing as Canon uses proprietary algorithms which Lightroom cannot use. The profiles just approximate those using Lightroom's RAW engine. Also they will only come close if you use default settings in your camera, so no highlight priority, no added saturation, etc. If you want the exact same thing, shoot jpeg or convert the RAW to tiff in DPP. That said, my experience is that the camera matching profiles come very close to out-of-camera rendering as long as you don't modify the styles.
    I say they HAVE to, because otherwise who is right - who´s got the true colors (e.g. Faithful style is supposed to represent colors exactly if shot at 5200K, yet DPP Faithful differs from LR faithful????)
    None of Canon's styles give accurate rendering. That is not what they are meant to do. They are meant to be visually attractive, which is very different from accurate. Faithful is not really scene referred correct color. See for some measurements of that on one of the more accurate cameras, the Canon 5D mk II, here. The way to get correct color, if that is what you are interested in, is to shoot a colorchecker chart and use Adobe's free DNG profile editor to generate a calibrated profile for your camera.
    Also, is there a way to convert other picture styles one has created into Lightroom profiles perhaps through some use of DNG Profile Editor?
    No. Would be neat, but is not currently possible without a lot of manual labor. You can shoot a colorchecker and by comparing the rendering in DNG profile editor to that in DPP visually and using the patch tools, you might be able to sort of get there but that is going to be very tedious. It would be nice if we were able to give DNG Profile Editor a different target than perfect rendering of the colorchecker, because right now, the only way to do it is visual.

  • In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get...?

    In Logic Pro 9, how many midi controlled software instruments do you get and is there possibility to download more as it says 40 on the programs info on the Mac Store, as i intend to compose on it but with only 40 instruments it's not really worth it.
    So i was just wondering whether it let you download more for free.
    Thanks for reading
    ~Matt

    Yes: I too am interested in the software instruments available in Logic Pro: one has to be a bit wary of the jam packs because there don't seem to be many solo instruments included. But I looked at the Logic screen in an Apple store the other day, and it worked like GarageBand in
    this respect: you created a new track choosing the software instrument option and a whole lot of instruments came
    up in a column on the right: lots of solo wind instruments, plenty of keyboards and guitars of course and not very many solo strings, only one violin, in the world music subsection under Irish fiddle. Yehudi Menuhin
    where are you when we need you?
    What I've been trying to find out is which part of the purchase does this long list of software instruments arrive with, because it's basically the only reason
    I'm interested - I get on fine with gb but it
    Just hasn't got enough instruments, and as I say the jam packs don't seem
    to resolve this ? Or do they? Could someone please help
    me with this?

  • Remote Camera Control and astrophotography for Sony A7(X) and Sony A6000

    Hello, Sony makes the best sensors, no doubt about it. Sony makes the best hybryd cameras, that's why i bought a Sony camera BUT ... Astrophotographers are deeply looking at Sony 's camera (especially A7S) because of their astrophotography capabilities but there is a HUGE problem : no software allow BULB mode command, which is very important for astrophotographers. Most of time, astrophotography is some thing like that : 30 pictures, 5 minutes exposure for each picture and we have to add dark frames, flat frames, offset frames and so on. So, if Sony makes a software like Remote Camera Control, why does Sony not include long exposure (over 30s) control in this software ? So come on Mr Sony, don't let Canon leading astrophotographers. Please, add long exposure in your softwares !! Many thanks considering my demand.

    I'm going to add that this should be available for ANY alpha series camera that has a bulb mode function in manual control.   This includes ,for example, the a5100.

  • In order to tether a Nikon D7100 into Lightroom is Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 required

    I have a Nikon D7100 and I have Lightoom 5.  Will Lightroom recognize the D7100 without needing to have Nikon Camera Control Pro 2?  If the D7100 is not yet recognized by Lightroom will the Nikon software allow for tethering into Lightoom?  when might Adobe add the D7100 to recognized cameras"

    No.
    The D7100 is not supported for tethering in Lr.

  • I want to buy surveillance cameras and software that are compatible with Mtn Lion, what do you suggest?

    I want to buy surveillance cameras and software that are compatible with Mtn Lion, what do you suggest?

    You do have the ability to create good user interfaces with LabVIEW.
    The main problem is what do you, or your customer consider a good user
    interface.
    The first thing I would suggest is to start using the "Dialog Control"
    controls for your front panel. This set of controls pick up their style
    from the operating system, so they will match the rest of the system
    applicaitons.
    Another thing is limit the use of color on the front panel. One persons
    idea of a nice shade of blue can be another person eyesore. Instead,
    use the decorations for grouping of controls.
    I would stay away from ActiveX. It's interface is quirky at best and there is a lot of overhead involved.
    Just to show it's possible, the attached images are screen shots of
    user interfaces I've designed with LabVIEW. The first two use the
    Dialog Controls, and the third uses standard controls and color at the
    customers request.

  • Will FCE HD allow camera control of Sony HC-7?

    I own a Sony HC-7 and am unable to edit with camera control using FCE HD 3.0. I have no problem whatsoever with iMovie HD where camera control works fine.
    I think it's horrible that ver 3 does not allow it with such a main stream brand as Sony, even if it is a relativly newer model.
    I will gladly upgrade to 3.5 if it will support camera control. Does anyone know if 3.5 will support camera control with a Sony HC-7?
    Thank you for your replies.

    There are only two choices for HD, one ending in 50, and one ending and 60. I am currently using the one ending in 60, but I have tried both.
    I have also gone through the Apple store, and it was determined that the only way to capture video from the Sony HC-7 is to capture it manually without without the use of camera control in the software.
    The camera works fine with camera control in iMovie HD, but will not work in the Final Cut Express HD product which I had to purchase! I think that's horrible!
    Whose fault is this, Apples or Sony's? You can not talk to anyone at Apple about it for free, and of course, Sony tells you to call Apple about it. You know, the usual passing the buck.
    Thank you for your reply,

  • Camera Control Pro installation issue

    Hi,I am not able to install camera control pro on a brand new MacBook. After clicking " easy install " absolutely nothing happens, the disc can't even be ejected. How can I get it to install. I also tried a firewire connection to a computer that did install it and when trying to open it in the MacBook it says that it wasn't installed correctly. Thanks in advance for any help.
    (note: at one point everything was transferred from another computer to this macbook and now when starting up there seem to be two systems operating, I have to pick one to log into, I don't know why this happened but could it be related and how can I combine them if so?)

    Perhaps you should contact Nikon support for help with their software?

  • Using real instruments to control software instruments

    I recently bought the Apogee Duet to play my guitars and keyboard directly into Garageband (and soon Logic Studio). My problem is that I haven't been able to figure out how to control software instruments using real instruments. For example, is there way for me to connect my Piano Keyboard through Duet into my computer, but use it to play software tracks like strings and horns, etc? I would like to do this without using MIDI, since I just spent $500 on the Duet. Is this possible, or is the only way to control software instruments through an external instrument by using MIDI? Thanks so much for any help....

    Assuming your keyboard requires an external MIDI interface (some have MIDI interfaces onboard), you can pick one up pretty cheaply - for example, M-Audio's Midisport or Uno are decent and inexpensive.

  • Any ideas for security and parental control software yet???

    Just received two of the touchpads from the fire sale and gave them to my kids, both under 10.  I am very interested in limiting the sites that can be accessed through the browser, as well as a few other things.  Has anyone found a practical means of doing this?  I'd hate to give up on this and switch it over to Android, especially since there is only Gingerbread available.  But, I just don't know what else I can do about these.  Any ideas? 
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Please take this post with a grain of salt. I don't claim to be a security and parental control software expert, but I have researched these solutions and have some personal experience with them. That being said, here's some ideas to get you started.
    As speedtouch mentioned, OpenDNS is a fantastic solution for website filtering. They have a great set of filters that can be customized and are one of the easiest systems to set up. Simply install an updater app on one of your desktop computers (or directly on your router if it's supported), configure your router to use their DNS servers, and you're good to go. I personally use this system mysefl and it works really well. The only downside in my experience is that there is not a temporary override system (at least, not in the free version that I use). An example of when this might be handy: my wife goes clothes shopping and looking at new bras. Every once in a while, a perfectly legitimate site might get blocked (in this case, probably something I don't want my kid looking at but perfectly fine for my wife). The option to "temporarily override the block" or "temporarily allow" the site would be nice, but it doesn't exist.
    Another FANTASTIC solution that I've used in the past is the Astaro Security Gateway. They have a free home version of their "Software Appliance" that goes above and beyond OpenDNS. I haven't used it in a while, but when I did it was able to not only filter web sites but also monitor Instant Messaging and other online activites. It's a bit more involved as you need your own hardware (I used an old computer with 2 network cards and stuck it in between my router and my broadband modem), but the results are pretty powerful.
    The downside to all these solutions, however, is that they will only work when the TouchPad is on your network. If they connect to a neighbors network of if the go to a friends house, all of these systems will be moot because they are completely bypassed. The only way to monitor that content from ANY network would be to install an application on the device itself and to my knowledge, none exist.

  • 12c cloud control software costs extra or free with normal support

    Hi,
    I am interested to use 12c now, as I have managed enough databases with 11g Grid Control.
    I have read some docs about 12c licensing, but I would be thankful if someone could answer me himself. My questions is: Whether one is required to buy extra or separate license to use 12c cloud control software to manage Data Guard setups for example, or it's not required if one has Enterprise or Standard support license, or may be its free if someone has DIAGNOSTIC & TUNING PACK license?
    # 12C files to install cloud control:

    Hi Ken,
    Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
    I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
    Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared  
    Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
    I have of course rebooted,
    Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads,  tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
    On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
    Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can  put files there?  There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting.  Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
    Please, feel free to contact me,
    I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

  • Is there a FREE Parental Controls software for Mac?

    Does anyone know of a free parental controls software for Mac? I have OS 10.3.9 and don't want to (or need to) get 10.4 +. Thus I can't run safari 2.0 or later and I want to have parental controls. I suspect it's out there but I can't seem to find it. TIA all.

    For Tiger, Workgroup Manager (part of the free Tiger Server Admin Tools) offers greatly expanded account management options than what the built-in Parental Controls offers. OS X Server is not required; it works great on the regular OS X.
    There was a version for Panther too, but I never tried it, so I don't know if it will do what you need. But the screen shot on the download page suggests that it might. You might want to download it yourself and try it out:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserver1034admintools.html
    You might also try asking your question in the "OS X 10.3 and earlier" forum here in the discussions. This forum is for Tiger only.

  • Fan Control Software

    I am trying to install the new version of SMC Fancontrol on my Intel Santa Rosa MBP. When i try installing it tells me that there can be no other fan control software running. My question is how do I turn off the existing software, and/or what am I doing wrong. I want to be able to turn up the fans whenever I need to do model and image rendering.
    Thanks a lot.

    It should do that automatically depending on how hot it gets.
    If it doesn't do this run a hardware test to see if there are fan or sensor problems.
    As for the SMC fancontrol problem, no clue, maybe email the developer.

    In a nutshell, you install the lowest version (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2, which ever is lower for your Grid Control platform), and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch according to the readme. That should not normally take more than a day.

    That can be found using the self-help portal: http://otn.oracle.com -> Products : Enterprise Management (left edge menu). In the 'Product Focus' area, you will notice 'Application Management' which will lead you to the appropriate data sheets and supporting information.
