Can I have an external video source run in a window instead of using the full display?

I'm aware that the 27" iMac models are capable of accepting external video sources, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have an external video source run in a window on the desktop, rather then use the full display. Does anyone know if there's any software I can download to allow this, or will I have to purchase a special capture device?

hat I DON'T WANT TO OPEN the window application FROM the Labview VI BUT IN the Labview VI. I think it's possible to do that and to do communicate the OpenGL application with the Labview Interface using an ActiveX but I don't know how. Can someone help me ?The desired behavior you desribed may not be possible with that application. In general LabVIEW does not offer a window object that other standalone applications can run it. The closest thing is the ActiveX container. If the programmers for your application created an activeX control of your program and they provided documentation, it should be pretty easy to incorperate the app and labview into one window. I recommend contacting the manufacuturer of the app to see if they have an activeX control version of the app.

  • Can iMac have an external video source hooked up?

    Thinking of getting new iMac with its 24" monitor of goodness. But currently I have a 19" HD LCD tv with an HD cable box and a PC hooked up to it. Am I able to do anything similar with a new iMac? Use the screeen to watch TV on?

    There is no "obvious way" because an iMac is a computer, not a display, and there is no video input.
    You can run Windows on the iMac, either using Boot Camp or a virtual machine program such as VMware Fusion, so that you don't need to use the laptop PC when you are at your iMac. Then, use network file sharing to transfer or sync data between the iMac and laptop PC. In fact, if there is a Mac OS X equivalent program, don't run Windows at all when you are at your iMac, and just transfer or sync the user data between the two computers.
    You can use screen sharing to remote control the laptop PC from the iMac, which will simulate using the iMac's screen and keyboard to control the laptop. There is no direct feature to do this between Windows and Mac OS X, but there are free VNC applications. Run a VNC server on the laptop. Connect the laptop and iMac to a local network. Run a VNC client on the iMac, to view the laptop's screen in a window on the iMac's screen (or in full screen mode) and control it with the keyboard/mouse. On the iMac side, this is a good VNC client app

    The limitation of screen sharing is screen refresh speed. If the networking speed is fast, it will work reasonably well, but it will never be as fast as a real video output connection to a real display.

  • Can i have two versions of OSX running on one computer

    can i have two versions of OSX running on one computer?

    Yes. The second one can be installed on an internal or external drive, but can't be one that the computer wouldn't be able to run if installed on the internal drive.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • Quicktime 10 doesn't recognize external video source.

    Setting up my new 27" iMac, and discover that Quicktime 10 doesn't recognize an external video source fed in through the firewire port. It is an older Sony analog to digital video converter, and goes through a FW400 to FW800 converter. Quicktime doesn't even "see" that video source as a choice when recording, nor does iMovie, even though it shows up in the System Profiler.
    Apps that were ported over from my previous system, however, such as "Video Viewer" and "Final Cut Pro" do see the source, presumably because they were configured to do so on the old system.
    Is there some global settings file that I can edit, or something similar that I can do, to make it visible to all apps?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Quicktime 7 does recognize the video source, but newer apps, such as iMovie, won't. I'd like to be able to capture to iMovie, but can't without the video source being recognized. Is there a fix?
    Thanks!

    No, and that shouldn't be done with an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.

    Our Landscape for R/3 side is R/3 Development, Testing and Production.....
    Already we have connected R/3 Development with BW Development... It is working fine as now... We have finished our task at Development...
    My doubt is <i><b>Can we Configure R/3 Testing to BW Development</b></i>....eventhough R/3 Development is already configured with BW Dev....
    <b>Can we have two R/3 Source Systems(Dev & Test) in BW Development....?</b>
    Please help me out in this issue....
    Your help will be appriciated...
    Regards,
    Kiran Telkar

    Hi Kiran,
    You can create second source system which will point to SAP R/3 Quality .
    If you have transported all datasource activation requests to QA environment then all datasources are available in R3QA as well.
    After creating source system , replicate datasources.
    Only thing you need to do is to replicate efforts of assigning source system (R3QA)-> creating transfer rule -> Create info package and load data.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards

    Assigning points is the way to say thanks in SDN.

  • Can we have two instance of OHS running in a box

    Can we have two instance of OHS running in a box with single installation of OHS server.
    Something like running multiple apache instance with using different conf file for each.
    -Ram

    It is true that creating more than one instances of OHS out of one set of binaries (install) is NOT supported by Oracle. But is it possible if you don't care about what's supported by Oracle? You betcha! Yes it is possible (even in 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 OHS) to create and run more than one instances of OHS out of one install.
    This is basic Apache concept which Oracle does not disable. But I would again mention, this is something Oracle does not support. How would you achieve this? There is planty of information on internet, google can be your friend:
    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=run+multiple+apache+instances
    If you do this route, note that not just httpd.conf, you will also need to make another copy of dms.conf and ssl.conf. And if you want to have this another instance of OHS managed by opmnctl, you will also have to duplicate (with necessary changes) the section in opmn.conf about HTTP_Server too.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

    Re Time Machine
    I have an external  hard drive with files I backed up manually over the past 2 years 1TB of memory.
    I am finally taking the leap to use Time machine to back everything.
    will I have to reformat that drive, thus wiping my previous back ups?
    can I split it the drive in two partitions?
    Also
    as I have two separate Macbook Pro's- one older than the other.
    OSX 10.68
    the other is
    OSX 10.75
    can I back them up separately?
    or even synch and merge files and folders etc? between the two?

    You CAN use a drive with files already on it to store Time Machine backups. But long term, that is not recommended. You do not need to reformat or re-partition the drive to do this. Once Time Machine Backups are established, you could remove the old files.
    But do not delete Time Machines files with the Finder -- that can cause it to lose its place and lose everything.
    With the cost of backup drives under US$100, it might be a better idea in the long run to get another drive. Best results from Time Machine is a drive about 3 times larger than the drive(s) you are backing up.

  • Can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option.

    can i have two internet connections connected to two airport extremes separately without disturbing the home sharing option. i want to have both the airport extremes to use a single imac for streaming music or video to my apple tv's at different places where one apple tv is in the range of one airport extreme.it's not a problem if both airport extremes have different wifi id's with separate internet.The imac which i use for streaming the music and videos is only in the range of only one airport extreme.is it possible if i can stream music or videos to my apple tv which is not in the range of same airport extreme which i use for imac but in the range of other airport extreme.
    Finally what i need is i want to use two internet networks as my highest possible internet bandwidth is about 1mbps.and i know that i cant mix both the networks and make it as 2mbps.

    Yes, that is possible. Please check out the following Apple Support article for details on how.

  • Can't write to external hard drive set up by Windows

    We have a 300gb Maxtor external hard drive. I had set it up using the Windows laptop I use for work.
    The Mini that we have can read, but not write to, this external drive. I just went back and set the Security properties to allow Full Control for the Everyone group. That did not work; the drive is still read-only for the Mini.
    Additionally, when it's hooked up to the Mini, the hard drive starts spinning for no apparent reason. When it's doing that, you cannot eject the hard drive. It will whir for several minutes; at times, we've had to reboot the Mini to get the thing to stop.
    Is there a Mac OS setting somewhere that needs to be changed to allow the Mini to write to the drive?
    Why is the drive spinning for no apparent reason? Is there something we can look at to find out what's happening with it?
    Any other suggestions for fixing the problem? I'd like to avoid reformatting it, if possible....

    We have a 300gb Maxtor external hard drive. I had set
    it up using the Windows laptop I use for work.

    Sounds like the drive is formatted in NTFS. Under OSX, your Mac will be able to read, but not write, to an NTFS formatted drive.
    If you format as HFS or HFS+, the Mac will be able to readd/write to the disk, but the Windows box will not be able to recognize the disk.
    Since it is a 300gb drive, FAT will not work (FAT does not recognize drives that large).
    It must be formatted as FAT32.
    It can be formatted as such on either the windows box or the Mac.
    You can partition the disk, one HFS+, one FAT32, but the windows box still will not be able to recognize the HFS partition, and the Mac will be able to read/write both.
    So...for maximum compatibility and cross-platform usage, format the drive as FAT32.
    As for as the periodic drive spin, it's possible Spotlight is updating it's index.

    I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows.  I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although  I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling  me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

    There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates  etc has caused me much consternation  over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or  anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability
