Capture Source question (Device)

I’m using Pre 7 (Windows XP) and I am able to capture video from my Canon XHA1s, but have a question about how the camera shows up as a Capture Source. The camera shows up as: Microsoft AV/C Tape Submit 1. Is this the norm? I do see in the Pre 7 Help section that the Canon XHA1s is supported. When I capture on my laptop (Vista) the camera shows as XHA1.

The camcorder is supported and if you can capture I would not be concerned. By the way are you capturing in high definition or is the camcorder set to down-convert to DV-AVI?

Expression Encoder crashes when connecing to live source video device under Server 2012

I have setup Axis Streaming Assistant as a video device for Expression Encoder 4 every time I try and select any video device either this one or the screen capture source, I get a "has stopped working" window and then
it closes expression encoder. I have installed this on a server 2012 standard server with all of it updates loaded. The only things I have installed extra are the Axis Streaming assistant, IIS Media Services 4.1 and the Expressions Encoders 4 SP
2. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Image Capture shows no devices (again)

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air (2012) running Mac OS X 10.9.1, 1.8GHz Intel Core i5, with 4GB ram.
I have a Cannon MP510, it shows up on the list of printers in the System Preferences.
I had a similar problem with the previous operating system (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5419672)
I now have a Time Capsule and I have tried connecting the printer to my laptop with USB and also via the Airport Time Capsule (both by USB).
The MP510 show up in Printers & Scanners but no Scan, and Image Capture shows no devices as being found.
I have looked at:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp510#DriversAndSoftware
But they have no drivers for 10.9.1 but I did try the driver for 10.8 again.
I have made sure that the printer is in Scan mode, I have tried Scan to PC, and Scan to PDF. (There isnt a Scan to Mac)
Any ideas on how I can get my MacBook to detect that the MP510 is also a scanner so that I can use image capture (or any other free software) to get scanned images on to my Mac?
Thanks,
Mulder

I have downloaded Cannon's MP Navigator and it says that it cannot communicate with the scanner, Scanner driver will be closed, and number 155.0.0

How to stop the capture source of AudioVideoCaptureDevice

Hi. I capture video with the AudioVideoCaptureDevice API and I'm not sure if I followed the right steps to implement it. If I record a video for the first time everything works in the emulator but when I tap the record button for the second
time the app crash. I think it's because I have to disconnect the file stream from the capture source but I can't because passed an instance of AudioVideoCaptureDevice as the source of the video recorder brush. Here's my code + - in the order of
execution:
private async Task InitializeVideoRecorder()
try
if (vcDevice != null)
vcDevice = null;
CameraSensorLocation location = CameraSensorLocation.Back;
captureResolutions =
AudioVideoCaptureDevice.GetAvailableCaptureResolutions(location);
vcDevice = await AudioVideoCaptureDevice.OpenAsync(location, captureResolutions[0]);
vcDevice.RecordingFailed += OnCaptureFailed;
vcDevice.VideoEncodingFormat = CameraCaptureVideoFormat.H264;
vcDevice.AudioEncodingFormat = CameraCaptureAudioFormat.Aac;
// Initialize the camera if it exists on the phone.
if (vcDevice != null)
//initialize fileSink
await InitializeFileSink();
// Create the VideoBrush for the viewfinder.
videoRecorderBrush = new VideoBrush();
videoRecorderBrush.SetSource(vcDevice);
// Display the viewfinder image on the rectangle.
viewfinderRectangle.Fill = videoRecorderBrush;
//_cs.Start();
// Set the button state and the message.
UpdateUI(ButtonState.Initialized, "Tap record to start recording...");
else
// Disable buttons when the camera is not supported by the phone.
UpdateUI(ButtonState.CameraNotSupported, "A camera is not supported on this phone.");

InitializeVideoRecorder() is called in OnNavigatedTo the when I tap the record button StartVideoRecording() is then called like wise StopVideoRecording() and when I tap the record button( or call StartVideoRecording) for the second time an error
is thrown. What am I missing? (I bet it's something to do with how I implemented the capture source.) Thaanks in advance.

Thank you that answer is very helpful. I got the recording to work and it's playing the video back too, however, when I record for the second time and tries to playback that file the screen is just black. Can you kindly take a look at my methods
and see where I'm missing up?

I'm using StorageFile to create the file to save the video to. I think my Stop and Start Video Recording logic is causing ether the video not to write to the file the second time or something else. If you can see something that's not right kindly tell me. Thank
you in advance.

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:
iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera
Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

Hi,
To assist in resolving your issue we will need more information.
* On step 1 of the Capture wizard, were you able to successfully add an XML file for capture? If not, please post up the full error message text.
* Did the "Capture Source Database" Wizard complete and generate any objects in the "Source Model" of the Workbench?
You mention that you see "blank messages" when "Capture Source Database" is clicked. I am gathering that you were able to load the generated XML file into the workbench, however you were unable to view any messages in the Log window. If this is the case, I suggest that you check your Log Window preferences as follows:
1. Launch the workbench
2. From the menu bar, click on Tools | Log Window, to launch the Log Window.
3. On the Log Window, click on Edit | Preferences from the menu bar.
4. Under the heading "Select the message types you would like to display", ensure that all checkboxes are selected. Then click on "OK" to save these settings. Close the Log Window when these steps are complete, and re-launch the Capture Wizard to begin the migration process again.
If you are still experiencing issues, please outline fully the steps that you have followed, and post up any error message text that is displayed during this process.
I hope this helps.

Problem capturing source model sybase apative server 11.5.1

Trying to migrate production Sybase Adaptive Server database to
Oracle using Oracle Migratin Workbench-Sybase Plugin. It fails
duing loading source model stage. Sybase database is not going
to be available to us for long as companies are separating by
december end, four databases need to be migrated by then. It is
very important to get the migratin done and there is no
workaround this problem. This is showstopper for migration
project right now.
Details:
Oracle Migration Workbench with sybase adaptive server 11 plugin
     2.0.2.0.0     Production Build 20011121 Windows-

Error Text in the log file:
EXCEPTION : LoadTableData.run() : SYBASE11_SYSINDEXES [INTERSOLV]

After Investingation it looks like the table sybase11_sysindexes
in OMWB repository has four columns extra than the sysindexes
table in sybase database. The additional four columns are:
fill_factor, res_page_gap, exp_rowsize, key3. OMWB load source
model step fails on the first column.
Trying to load the sybase source model using Oracle Migration
Workbench.
Oracle Migration workbench was running.
Oracle Migratin workbench capture wizard was running.
Installed OMWB and sybase apative server 11 plugin for OMWB.
Installed Sybase client for windows and ODBC drivers.
Configured ODBC for sybase database as a system DSN.
Created empty scheama with connect and resource privilages for
OMWB repository on Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 8.
Started OMWB, created repository in the empty scheama created
above.
Clicked on capture source database wizard.
Provided the userid, password and database for sybase database.
Selected not to generate Oracle model, as it can be generated
afterwards.
Clicked finish on the wizard.
OMWB started reading sybase system repository tables, it did a
few tables and then the above error message appeared.
This is a fresh install of Windows 2000 Professional.
The only oracle product installed in OMWB and the Sybase
Apadative server 11 Plugin for OMWB.
The other software is Sybase client for windows (To do queries
on Sybase database) and the sybase ODBC driver.
No other significant software is installed, it a vanila windows
2000 Professional installation.
There is oracle tar for this. TAR 1828907.995
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi,
Without seeing the full error.log file here are some suggestions.
>
From Prashant's e-mail it appears that the data dictionary's of11.5.1.
and 11.9.2 are different.
A possible alternative that may help i.e. removing the 4 extracolumns
that Prashant talks about from the Workbench source model e.g.
Sybase11_sysindexes. This may help you get around this issue
If that does not work. One possible workaround is as follows.
Extract the Schema generation scripts from the Sybase 11.5.1database
and re-create the schema in Sybase 11.9.2. You don't have tomove the data.
>
You can then migrate the schema from the Sybase 11.9.2database. Once
the schema is migrated you can generate the SQL Loader scripts to
migrate the data. Click on the Tools menu and then select the'Generate
SQL Loader Scripts...' menu item. This will generate Sybase BCPdata
extraction scripts. These scripts will extract the Sybase datafrom each
table into a separate .dat file. You can then use the SQL Loaeder
scripts that were also generated to load this data in to thedestination
Oracle database.

Pulling packet capture from IPS device

I work for a MSP (Managed Services Provider), we currently are evaluating CSM for mgt of 50 IPS/IDSM devices. To make analysis more effective, want to be able to pull the packet capture from the device. We have our own correlation engine, so we do not need MARS. We want to grab the packet and then put a copy into our ticketing system so the analyst has the data right in front of them.
Is the IP Log directory where the packet capture data is kept? Has anyone ever tried this before? What are the performance/health concerns with enabling packet captures for just high signatures? Does the IP log directory really "clean" itself out after a certain period of time?

There are 4 event actions that can be used to capture packets.
The produce-verbose-alert event action will encode the trigger packet as part of the alert itself. So with this event action the packet is already included in the alerts you are already pulling off the sensor. You just need to modify your tool to strip off this packet, decode it, and then add it to your ticketing system at the same time as you add the alert.
This is where I would start.
Using the produceVerboseAlert uses very little additional sensor resources. It has only a very small affect on sensor performance. Because each alert will be larger than normal it will reduce the total number of alerts that can be stored in the sensor's eventstore. But if your application is actively subscribing for these events, then the reduction in total number of alerts stored on the sensor should not cause you any issues. So adding this for all High alerts woulc be a good practice.
The other 3 event actions are log-attacker-packets, log-pair-packets, and log-victim-packets. These event actions will trigger an IP Log (packet log) to be created (or increase the time for capture on an existing IP Log.
The IP Log system is a collection of numbered files on the sensor. As event actions trigger new IP Logs to be created the sensor will pick one of those numbered files and begin writing packets to that file. The sensor retains an internal mapping of what packets are being written to each file. If no empty files exist, then the sensor will automatically overwrite the oldest IP Log file with the new IP Log file. Larger platforms have up to 512 of these numbered files, and smaller platforms may have as few as 128 or even 64 of these numbered files. Each file is 1 Megabyte in size and usually stored in RAM memory. With the limited number of files, the storage of these logs on the sensor is very short term. And so should be pulled off the sensor as soon as possible (just like what you are planning to implement). The sensor also has a usual limit of only writing 20 IP Log files at any one time.
With these limitations on the IP Log files they shoudl be used sparingly. Configuring too many signatures or signatures that trigger often with these event actions can lead to problems. The IP Logs could easily be overwritten by newer IP Logs being triggered, and/or more than 20 could be requested at any one time which means some alerts won't be able to have an IP Log created.
So IP Logging event actions should be limited to only those alerts where the additional data is manditory.
Also understand that IP Logging can have a negative impact on sensor performance. If you plan on using IP Logging often, then consider using a sensor rated for higher speeds than what you will be monitoring.

Log and Capturing from USB device?

I have a VHS connected to my G5 using an InterView RCA to USB device. Is it possible to log and capture into FCP5? I seem to be getting the sound okay, but can't get the video.

You can't capture to FCP without timecode.<<</div>
Not true. You can easily capture non-timecoded footage from any number of sources, including VHS. Set FCP's device control to "Non-Controlable Device" and use "Capture Now." The source player will need to be connected to your DV device (camcorder, VTR or converter).
VHS decks don't generate timecode<<</div>
Also not true. Most pro VHS and S-VHS VTRs have both VITC and LTC capability.

Sony DCR-TRV140 w/Final Cut Express 4 - Capture format question

A big thanks to the forum for patience and direction. You all have helped me get an older digital camcorder hooked up to the Mac to date.
I'm now able to capture video from the camcorder to FinalCut Express.
So, on to today's question...
I have a Sony Digital Handycam DCR-TRV140. I know that it's NTSC (mainly because it says so right on the side of the camcorder). But I don't know what capture settings to use in Final Cut Express to get the best quality video onto the Mac, and ultimately onto DVD's or digital files I publish to my family over the net.
So when I go to the menu path Final Cut Express -> Easy Setup, I have a number of options to choose from... I (think) that I know that the best format option to choose from the dropdown is NTSC... But I don't know what to choose from the drop down list.
Here's a picture of the drop down list:

Specifications for the Sony camcorder can be found here:

or here

Can you help me decide what is the best option to choose? If it depends, maybe you could explain what it depends on...?
Many thanks!

The differences among the Easy Setups have to do with audio sample rate, device control, and widescreen shooting.
The Anamorphic setups are for widescreen. If your camera doesn't shoot widescreen (16:9), you can ignore them.
DV media is generally recorded with audio at 48kHz or 32kHz. Choose according to the audio recorded by your camera (some offer different record options). If you capture with the wrong audio selected in your FCE Easy Seutp, you'll get a warning message at the end of the capture.
What FCE Setup are you using at present? I'm guessing it's either DV-NTSC Firewire Basic or DV-NTSC DV Converter. If that's working for you, stick with it.

Multiple sound source question

Can I use a Usb mic and sound source input ie synth output running thru my rme pcie card into logic simultaneously?

Yes. You'll have to set up an *Aggregate Device* in *Audio MIDI Setup.*

Capturing using DV device

So I have a digital converter attached to my MAC with firewire that I run my camera through to capture video. Before I was capturing to imovie, then transfering to FCE. As noted by Tom, that was a poor way to get video into FCE.
So I read the section on capturing video from his book. I went to easy setup and changed the preference to DV conveter with fire wire (as noted in his book this would allow you to capture without having time code). When I do this the capture device says "no connection" or something to that effect. But if I switch it in easy set up to "Fire Wire", it allows me to capture, but it is looking for time code, which breaks up the footage every now and then. Am I missing the all important step?

OK. Here is where I got confused. I was using the *DV-NSTC DV Converter* option instead of DV-NTSC. I have changed the "capture now limited" to 60 minutes (about the time of the footage). If I understand things correctly, the DV-NTSC is used for items without time code. But the tape (an old VHS tape) keeps coming up with "Locating Timebreak Push esc to stop". Is that because the tape is so old that there are blank spots? When we watch it in the VCR there are no blank spots or areas that cut out. Should I be trying to capture at DV-NTSC 32kHz? I tried over 10 times last night to capture the footage, but it kept giving me the "loacting timebreak" error.

Interactive Reports - SQL Source Question

Background
Apex 3.1 is installed on Oracle 10g instance on local machine but all data is stored on a remote machine on Oracle 9 & 10 instances.
This data is also used by another piece of software, which directly manipulates the data.
The Apex Application that I am developing is to be used as a Quick Find/KPI Reporting tool and is setup to utilise DBLinks and Synonyms.
Within the remote data, we have a mapping table that contains user specific alias' for field names, which the users set using the other piece of software. There can be up to 5 mappings per table field each defined as LNG01, LNG02,etc.
In order to provide the same field Alias' in the Apex application, I have created a PL/SQL function to return the field alias and return a string value containing the final SQL.
Problem
In standard reports, this would work correctly as you could return a SQL statement in a string and it handled it with no problems.
However, due to Interactive Reports not supporting this, I have tried to find code to pass in the string SQL Statement to return a TABLE or PIPELINED datasource.
The string SQL statement will vary for each time it is used so the string SQL statement is effectively built as dynamic SQL
This causes as problem as I will never be able to define the ROWTYPE for a type TABLE variable as the field names will not be constant.
Can you tell me if there is any way to create a SQL source that could be used for the Interactive Report based on dynamic SQL?
Alternatively, if you can provide any alternatives to finding a solution I would be most grateful.
Apologies if this question has been posted before.
Thanks in advance.
Stuart

Stuart,
You could:
1) Create page items, one for each dynamic column header (e.g. P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER, etc).
2) Create a page process, to run when the page is loaded, that populates each item with the appropriate text. This can pull the column header text from your remote source.
3) Use a static query as your interactive report source:
    select objname,
           objuniqueid,
           objtypecode,
           objsitearea,
           objdesc,
           objdesc2,
           objlocationid,
           objcommission
      from cdoweb_om4) Edit the interactive report attributes -- use APEX substitution string syntax to reference the item values (e.g. "&P1_OBJECT_NAME_HEADER." without the quotes) instead of static column headers.
For more information on using substitution strings:

Want to refresh Image Capture without disconnecting device

I'm using Image Capture to import iPad Screen captures to my iMac. The problem is that it "sees" only those images that were on the iPad when Image Capture started up.
In order to see subsequent images, I have to physically disconnect ("pull the plug") my iPad from my Mac. After I reconnect, Image Capture mounts the iPad anew and the the new images are visible.
Quiting Image Capture and relaunching it does not have the same effect, so it is obviously some OS function that is mounting/unmounting the iPad device.
Is there any OSX command that will do what I want (I'm comfortable using Terminal). I guess it would be something like mounting/ejecting a disk, but for a USB device instead.
I'd welcome info on any alternative ways of getting those new images over to my Mac for processing.
Thanks for any help.

I'm having the same problem with my iphone 4 and was sure that it was possible before updating to iOS 5. I've just checked this theory using my ipod touch which is still running iOS 4 and can confirm that it's something that used to be possible - new photos taken show up immediately in Image Capture as they are taken on the iPod. I'm wondering if this change has anything to do with iCloud.
Bit annoying so I'll be very interested to see if you come up with a work around...

General Data source question

Hi,
I am a beginner. I want to know a information about standard Data source.
Say for example: DS - 0FI_AR_3, how may time can this data source be used. or they can be used only once for one target?
Question may be silly, but i am trying to know.
Thanks.
