Can anybody help me ? preview (external monitor)

Hey Guys:
I need to preview in real time my HD 1080i work in an external monitor I am not sure with card should I purchase. I have a Viewsonic 1920x1080.
I know that the most used card are balckmagic and AJA Kona models but I have read some complaints about both.
Firstly I was after Intensity Pro (blackmagic) but it seems that it does not work well with HD output.
Then I searched info about DeckLink (Blackmagic). It seems it works ok but not more reference than oficial web.
Finally somebody told me that AJA Kona cards work really well but I don't know which model will be the proper for monitoring my work in realtime.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thanks
Andres

Hi Andrew07,
With my Mac Pro 8 core, AJA KONA LHe SDI card using Final Cut and a fibre channel disk array I can capture and play back 1080 HD footage, no problem. (I have also used Blackmagic cards as well)
With After Effects if I have my External Monitor set to 1080 and I try and RAM preview a 1080 composition I can only achieve a frame rate of about 15 fps. If my external monitor is set to normal SD and the composition at half res I can then preview in real time. But that is not Full res HD.
If I render the RAM preview to disk I can then play that in Final cut in realtime at full res
So you have to work around AE as it just can't pump out that much data quickly enough, but I do HD graphics everyday using AE and it does work just not quite as well as I would like ...
Hope this helps

    Yes, many of us know how to optimize pl/sql code. And yes, seeing the code is a pretty crucial component of optimizing it. However, seeing the code may be insufficient. A slow sql statement is not necessarily visibly different from a fast one.
    I suggest that you pare your procedure down to the bare minimum that performs poorly and then post that. Of course by doing so you may well discover the problem yourself (which is how most of us learned).

  • My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  Can anybody help?

    My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine.  Can anybody help?

    Just tested something and it worked.
    If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
    But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
    It's probably this crappy headphones.
    If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

  • My mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

    my mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

    192 is local address within your network.
    Unless the adddress is of a server that can reolve URL names to ip addresses you wont be able to load an external web page.
    You can check what it should be by checking your router status page.
    Or if you have an iOS device check under settings, W-Fi, select the network your attched to, then see what is next to DNS.

  • Can anybody help my iPod?

    Ok, here is the deal. I got my Click Wheel iPod for 2004 Christmas... So I've had it all of 05, and now halfway through 06, so 1 year and a half.
    The problems... the picture of a folder with an exclamation mark comes up...and below it, it has "www.apple.com/support/ipod" written
    [img]http://f10.putfile.com/thumb/7/20615320954.jpg[/img]
    Nothing has worked. I started by restarting my Computer and iPod. Ive reinstalled iTune, and upgraded iPod Software. Ive done everything. Ive restored the iPod software onto the iPod plenty of times.
    After restoring my iPod, and plugging it into external power source, it goes through its boot up process, then the picture comes back.
    [img]http://f10.putfile.com/thumb/7/20615320954.jpg[/img]
    Ive restored the iPod, and it never works, it always goes back to the picture of a folder. Is my iPod done for?
    Thanks in advance for help!

    Sigh...using "Can anybody help my iPod?" as a subject line is not very helpful. We don't need the life history of your iPod. If we're here, we're frustrated and having to dig through vague posts is unnerving...ALL the posts will be about needing help with iPods. Yes, it would have been nice if you had told how you resolved the issue...grrr

  • Can't sign in on external monitor with MBP after Yosemite upgrade

    After Yosemite upgrade, when I turn on my MBP, I can't sign in using external monitor with MBP, always could before Yosemite.  Blurred image of my wallpaper shows on monitor, can move arrow on external screen but sign-in only shows up on my computer screen, with no arrow.  Since there is no arrow on the computer screen, and no sign in box on the external monitor, I have to unplug the external video to sign in on the computer, then plug in the monitor again.  Any ideas?

    NOWEK,
    Thanks for this suggestion, but so far no joy. I have zapped the PRAM, jammed the Frabitz and smashed the Gafrogsnicker, all to no avail. When the MBP restarts I get a blurred image (extreme "vibrancy") on the external monitor, but no images of the login accounts to choose from or the other options. However, on the MBP screen I get all that. The keyboard and mouse respond, but just doesn't display on the external monitor. This is of interest to me because I have the MBP down in a credenza with other related gear and the external monitor and keyboard up on my desk. It's true I don't have to do this often, but still, it just started this aggravation with Yosemite. Thanks for trying to help.

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

    Try a Restart.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I have been trying to put music I bought on I tunes on my Samsung Note 2 phone but it won't play.I try to convert them to mp3 format so I can play them on my phone but it won't let me convert them because it says they are protected. Can anybody help me?

    I have been trying to put music I bought on Itunes on my Samsung Note 2 but my media player won't play m4p files so I tried to convert the files to mp3 but I couldn't, because a message says they are protected files. I then tried downloading different media player apps to see if they would play them but had no success.Can anybody help with a solution to this problem?

    First quit iTunes and look in your iTunes folder.
    On Windows, the iTunes folder is in your My Music folder.
    On Mac, the iTunes folder is in your Music folder.
    Follow this path:    iTunes > iTunes Media > Music >
    Here there should be all your music folders. Open the folders containing the music that is not playing. Right click "get info" (mac) or right click "properties" (windows).
    This window will tell you the file type. iTunes will play music in AAC, MP3, and Lossless, etc.
    If the files are .wma you will need to convert them into ACC or MP3 format for it to play on an iPod. In iTunes, highlight the tracks that you want to convert, then on the menu bar, Advanced > Create AAC/MP3 version and the tracks will convert. Delete the old files.
    If the file extenstion is anything like .exe .txt .rar  then you don't have an audio file.

  • My ipod is 8gb and it wont let me download anymore songs, i currently have 1200 and i thought an 8gb ipod would hold at least 1700, can anybody help?

    I have an 8gb ipod which has only 1200 songs on it, no photo's, no apps and no video's and it's telling me that my storage is full, can anybody help/

    The number of songs that any iDevice will store depends on both the length/duration of songs and on the audio format(s) used.  The figure of "1700" is nothing more than an estimate ... probably based on 3-minute songs and low bit-rates.  There is no definitive number - your iPod's capacity is based on available memory (which, for an 8Gb iPod is actually around 7Gb).  Best way to manage the content of your iPod is to create one or more playlists that are then used as the basis for sync operations (set this up when your iPod is connected).
