Can I Use A Standard TV for A Poor Man's Monitor?

I do a fair amount of video work at home and was wondering if I could rig up a standard TV to view my spots for field issues and maybe some rough color.
This is my video card:

It does have an s-video out (I think that's what the round black one is), so I figured I could patch it into a TV with a similar port. Will FCP recognize this as a valid monitor option? Thanks.

I was actually really surprised at how, even on HD sets, you can't turn off some of the auto functions on TVs. Earlier this month I replaced my trusty 1980's Sony Trinitron set (didn't retire it, it's now at home in the bedroom - one of the best pictures ever) with a widescreen HD set.
Of course, since I had unused gift cards from Best Buy, I decided to get it there. But they have the worst program material ever running through even the HD sets. And I could not for the life of me talk any of the employees to give me an open box dvd player to hook to each of them to test them out. Add to that the fact that most of the remotes have been stolen and I just decided to start buying them and taking them to my office and hooking them up to test with real source material.
Well, I went through 6 HD sets before I found one to my liking (Samsung 30" Slim-Fit Tube). And now that particular Best Buy has 5 sub-par open box HD sets for sale at a discount. Even the Sony I tried had a auto brightness setting I couldn't shut off.
They hate me at that store, but I offered an easy solution and they wouldn't do it. I hate them at that store because my office is up two flights of stairs and I don't have interns to lug 6 different 30" HD tubes upstairs.

  • Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate

    Hi,
    Can we use two costing variant for standard cost estimate of two different materials in the same period ? e.g. Costing variant Z001 for Material code 1000 and Costing Variant Z002 for Material code 2000.
    Here the system is not allowing to change the costing variant in Marking Allowance (t code CK24) for marking and release of Material cost 2000 if the standard cost for Material code 1000 is already marked and released.
    Thanks,
    Bijay

    For a material in a period only one price can be released. Though you cn have two separate costing variants and then calculate standard estimate with that. U can release based on one variant only for a month. Or use MR21 and update the price as per the other variant
    Thanks and Regards

  • Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios

    Hi experts,
                I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
    data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
          IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
          wa_quote type ZIQMD,
          wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
      COMMIT WORK.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
        COMMIT WORK.
    when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'  , but iam not getting data  for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'  interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
                  Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Poorna.

    Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
    One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
    1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

  • Do I Have To Use A Standard Account for Computing Security?

    Hi,
    I have often heard that it is safer to use a Standard Account for normal computing and keep an "Admin" account separate, but it bugged me to have two accounts.
    Once I began to use File Vault 2 I thought I could only sign into my Mac initially with the Admin account and would have to log out and switch over to the standard account every time I turned my computer on, which was never going to happen, but I just found out that I can sign in with my Standard account from the beginning if I give it permissions.
    So my question is...
    Do I really need to separate my accounts?  What security measures are in place when I use my standard account vs the Admin if I can just use the Admin password when I need it (like I do now)?
    Also, are any changes made in a Standard account (such as files downloaded for school or software installed) carried over to the admin account or would I have to transfer that new content over if I ever decided to delete a standard account?
    Thanks!

    Using a standard account is probably marginally more secure.  Both standard and admin accounts give you the ability to modify any files in your home folder.  But standard accounts can't modify system settings nearly as easily.
    However, you don't *have* to use one to be sufficiently secure.  I would certainly recommend that you ensure Gatekeeper is set to "signed apps and app store apps" and NOT set to allow all applications by default.  Then, just use a modicum of good sense about things.

  • Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

    Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

    Answer found. Please find below an amazon review explicitly mentioning adding third party foam tips. Sounds like they fit and work like a dream:
    "As a audio engineer, I own about a dozen different sets of earphones and in-ear 'phones. My favorite, by far, are my sure SE530s. I have some Sennheiser cx400s which are good workhorses, but lack the finesse, clarity and stunning accuracy of the Shures. For convenience, I bought the Apple's, as I wanted something I could use with the phone for calls.
    I found the sound to be quite clear and beautifully clean, but like many, no matter how I tried, the stock Apple tips never made a good seal. The seal is absolutely essential to getting bass out of a balanced armature design. For you non-engineers, just trust me that if you don't have a proper seal, you will have no bass.
    In my case, I think the trouble had to do with the largest size being a tiny bit too small, and the silicon being too rigid, yet slick, so they left small airgaps and were easy to remove. I tried using some foam tips from a third party, but their large was more of a medium, and never came close to a snug fit.
    As an experiment, I dug around in my ear-tips from my Shure's and tried their rubber tips which are about the same size as Apple's large tips, but made of a more pliant and slightly sticky rubber.
    OMG, what a transformation. Suddenly the sound blossomed, the bass became rich and well balanced, and the "top-heavy" sound was totally mellowed into a rich, well balanced and incredibly detailed presentation.
    Make no mistake, these are the best 'phones under $200 I have ever heard. The bass is deep and warm, very detailed, and totally lacking fuzz or buzz that I can hear in the Sennheiser set. Look at getting tips from a better headphone. The trick is it has to have a soft rubber base that can expand over Apple's slightly larger stub. Some tips, like the Shure foam tips, have a rigid plastic sleave in the tip to keep it's position correct, and these won't expand over the larger Apple posts."

  • Can I use only one computer for driver development?

    Hi! I'm newbie in driver development and now is first day when I make the acquaintance of driver development. There is the next phrase in MSDN in
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh706187(v=vs.85).aspx
    : "For developing, debugging, and installing a kernel-mode driver, you need two computers". But I unfortunately have only one computer and I have to develop the USB Kernel Mode driver as technical assignment for admission to the job.
    My computer is under Windows 7 OS and already has standard USB driver. I have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and WDK 8.1 Update on my computer. Can I use only one computer for driver development and debugging or not?

    no, not really, you need two. you can use a VM as the machine under test though.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices. 
    Pop-Menu  Magic3 by PVII (commercial DW extension)
    http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

    My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

  • How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.

    Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

    The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)
