Disney Pix Max Camera

I am thinking about getting one of these.
Has anyone tried it with a Mac?
It does have an SD card, so a card reader is an option.
Here is the mfg website:
http://digiblue.com/disney/cameras/pixmax/index.html
Note that this is the higher end MAX, not the low end one.

Answered my own question, you can use it on a Mac, but only as a desktop. I guess I can teach my son to point the "Add to Library" command at the camera, but that is not quite so easy.
Note, again that this is the $80 higher end MAX, not the cheaper ones, which say nothing about Macs on the support site.
If I get one I will report back with any updates, but his Birthday isn't until July!
Here is what they say:
How to use on a Mac
You can use the Disney Pix MAX on a Mac as a standard Digital Camera. The software that comes with the package is however only designed for PC and can not be installed on a Mac. After your download the picture you can use iPhoto to edit and adjust your photos.
To access the pictures on a Mac, please follow the steps below:
1. Turn camera on.
2. Plug camera directly into the computer (not through a hub or keyboard).
3. Double click on the drive that appeared on the desktop called untitled. Then open the DCIM folder
4. Last Double click on the 100COACH folder to locate the pictures taken with the device
NOTE: If you are using an SD memory card in the camera, the pictures will be located directly inside the untitled drive in step 1.

Imorted 3Ds Max Camera succesfully ... but something is wrong!

Hi all,
i hope i post correctly!
the work between Studio Max and After Effects was successful!
BUT ... i have "2 Frame - Segments" that have a blur just like the camera does a fast 360 on the z-Axis.
I checked the keyframes and tried to change, but the "rotation" is there. When i delete the 2 frames the rotation becomes more visible as it stretches in time.
- The camera is without target!
What did i do wrong?
thank you for any help!
Michael

Well i checked the gimbal problem. But the "jump" happens in After Effects.
--> Z axis jump from negative 179,9 to positive 179,9
Isn't there some kind of "euler-filter" i can use? :-) Max has one.
Would it help to use a target camera all the time?
thanks
Michael

Is it possible to post pix from camera with WiFi connection, but no comp? (travelling light!)

I just set up my wireless services on my camera. I will be travelling out of the country and will not have my laptop with me, but will have WiFi access. Is it still possible to post pictures wirelessly to online platfroms such as Facebook?

struong,
A computer is required as far as setting up Web Services and registering them to your camera. However, once that is done, you can send image directly to those services as long as your camera is connected to an access point that has internet access. To do this:
Access the Wi-Fi menu on the camera.
Select a registered Web Service, like Facebook or Twitter.
Connect to an access point.
Once connected, the image transfer screen will be displayed.

MAX cannot find my camera attributes

I'm still learning about machine vision to do a project that require image processing. I'm using LabVIEW 2010 and my camera is only my laptop webcam (MAX recognize it as: USB2.0 UVC VGA WebCam). I'm trying to do a feature like the one in the "Grab and Attributes Setup.vi" example, which is to control, for example, white balance. Running the example itself, I can change the white balance in LabVIEW (not in MAX). The problem is that in MAX, camera attributes shows exactly nothing, thus I cannot or dont understand how to access that attribut.
So why is that the example in LabVIEW can adjust the white balance, while in MAX, no camera attributes at all is displayed?
PS: My friend using different laptop but same brand, type, model, spec (identical hardware), same driver, his MAX can detect these attributes.

the camera itself is onboard the laptop (not seperated webcam). I still haven't figure out why the attributes sometimes appear and sometimes is not. I've tried reinstalling my camera driver, IMAQ, and IMAQdx driver. I'll try using seperate webcam this weekend. Restarting my komp is also not the answer because it still appear and missing everytime. as for the reset, I cannot find it in tools menu. There's only "Reset NI-DAQmy Configuration".
MAX version is 4.8.0f0
NI-IMAQ 4.5
NI-IMAQ I/O 2.4
NI-IMAQdx 3.8
LabVIEW 2010 SP1 (evaluation license)
EDIT: I've attach my .vi files. When the attributes appear in MAX, this .vi is working fine and as I wanted, but when it is missing, the .vi returns error. The error message:
Error -1074360305 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in 3-8_Acquiring using Property Node.vi
Possible reason(s):
NI-IMAQdx: (Hex 0xBFF6900F) Attribute not supported by the camera.
The read attributes such as BayerGainR is just for me testing, no particular use.

Set AOI and Binning with Camera Link

Hello together,
I trying to set the AOI and the Binning.
Please see the attached VIs. If I choose Binning 2x or 4x, the following error occured:
Error -1074397150 occurred at IMAQ Snap.vi
Possible reason(s):
NI-IMAQ: A timeout error occurred while waiting for the specified event. If waiting for an image, verify that all video data is acquired within the timeout period. If waiting for a signal, verify that the signal assertion occurs within the timeout period.
Does anybody has a idea, how I can set the AOI and the Binning?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
The attribute Binning is in the MAX, because I edited the camera file (*.icd] with the NI Camera File generator (see MAX_Binning.png). If I chosse the correct imagesize (MAX - tab Acquisition Parameters) and set the Binning (MAX - Camera Attributes), it works. I can switch between 0x, 2x, 4x Binning without an error message. But unfortunately I can do it with the LabVIEW VI (see attached VI). I will try to describe the process with the attached LV program:
- run program
- default resolution 6576x4384, 0xBinning: all OK
- set resolution 3288x2192, 2xbinning: all OK
- set resolution 1644x1096, 4xbinning: all OK
- set resolution 3288x2192, 2xbinning: the resolution (1644x1096) remains
or
- set resolution 6576x4384, 0xbinning: the resolution (1644x1096) remains
Why the resolution doesn't go back?
How can I get the frames per second?
" Please run the VI and see if an error occur when you try to set Binning in your camera."
It doesn't appear a error message.
I hope we can find a solution.

PIX Interface Problem

We have PIX with 3 interfaces: two outsides and one inside.
Inside int goes down once in every 1-2 month. Both switch and PIX show int was up but couldn't send traffic across.
Shut/No Shut and rebooting both devices did not help. But strangely, when ping was issued from PIX, interface came back up and all problems went away.
Any ideas?

It could be hardware issue,. what PIX hardware and IOS version are you using?

Changing PDF Icons

I am having some trouble managing PDF file icons... I am hoping someone here can help. I am running Leopard; everything up to date.
I downloaded several books in PDF format. I now want to change the icons of each PDF file to match the front cover of said books. So I click on the file, get info, click on the icon on the top left, and paste the image. Everything seems to be fine on the get info screen; the icon on the top left changes to the respective image.
I then close get info and look at the Finder window containing the PDF files. This is where the problem begins. In cover flow mode, some of the images are simply not there, or they will appear and disappear if I resize the window, or click through the preview. The icons are all correct on the bottom file listing in this mode. Looking at the icon mode, some of the icons will have changed while others will not. I primarily use the icon or coverflow modes in finder which is why this is a problem.
I cannot detect any pattern in this behavior; some icons behave normally, most do not. All of the said images are PNG. Preview is my default PDF viewer. I am willing to do away with the "preview" function (where you can click through the PDF document within finder) in coverflow mode... it is useless anyway and I feel as if this is the actual problem. I can't seem to find a relevant set of preferences/settings, however.
Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Whether this is your problem or not, I don't know. But there is a bug in pasting icons where the icons won't show up in Cover Flow if the source png file for the icon was opened and copied out of Preview, and is of a largish size. Don't remember what the upper limit is, but I think is is 256 pixels max dimension. Any way, I just tried one using 500 pix max, and it doesn't show up, while 200 pix does.

Resizing gallery issue...urgent help!!!!

Hey there. I'm kind of in a huge deadline crunch.
I have a gallery that I built from a tutorial I found
online--it has an empty mc with a border around it, and when you
click on a thumbnail an image is loaded into the mc and it fades in
when it loads in and out.
Ofcourse it works fine offline, but when I test it online the
image will load in off-center, if you click the thumbnail again
(after it has loaded the first time) it loads in the position it
should be in.
Here is the code I have on the first frame:
spacing = 1;
containerMC._alpha = 0;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic){
containerMC._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(pic);
onEnterFrame = function(){
var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l =
containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
if (t != 0 && Math.round(l/t) == 1){
var w = containerMC._width + spacing, h = containerMC._height
+ spacing;
border.resizeMe(w, h);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h) {
var speed = 3;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
if (Math.abs(this._width-w)<1) {
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
containerMC._x = this._x-this._width/2+spacing/2;
containerMC._y = this._y-this._height/2+spacing/2;
containerMC._alpha += 5;
if (containerMC._alpha>90) {
containerMC._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
and here is the code that I have on my btns:
on(release){
_parent.containerMC.loadPic("pic_001.jpg");
Any suggestions???
I really need some quick help on this one.
Thanks so much in advanced!!!

Ok I plugged it into the PC in USB mass storage mode n just moved some of the pix from Camera Roll into another folder. Unplugged n opened gallery>camera roll. Scrolled with two hiccups the first time, not again after and no forced back outs. Can it be the Camera Roll gets too full so I should keep folders smaller? All Pix might freeze still...yup. Think its time I cleaned house. Disappointing considering they're all on the 16GB card that can hold it but the gallery doesn't like em all. Dunno why anyone else's would do it with so few pix, sorry dude

Zen V Plus freeze on file trans

To whom it may concern,?I'd like to preface this post by stating that I'm very experienced with computers (I build?systems for a living). I've tried my brand new Zen V Plus on 3 different computers and am experiencing random freezes on each one. My family has?2 iPods, a Dell player, an iRi'ver and a Disney Mix Max between us. I have never had ANY problems uploading and synching with any of these players. I've also plugged-n-played several of my friends players -- never a problem.
I just spent 4 days (about 20 hours) trying to get my Zen to not freeze. I have?tried?EVERY suggestion on?ALL the forums and Creative's troubleshooting pages. I also have a bunch of my own?diagnosing tricks?up my sleeve. When my Zen freezes, I can only access the player by formatting. When I reload my files, it randomly shuts off, and freezes when it tries to re-build the library after a reset. To say I'm dissapointed is an understatement. I did a lot of research and the Zen seemed like the perfect player for me. It hurts to post this, but I hope future owners having these problems will read this and realize not to waste their time. Sincerely,a future former Zen V Plus owner?

Hi jimmyboy88,? I am familiar with the reset hole.
Is Creative aware that you are posting a link on your site that suggests users disassemble their players and void their warranties?As a professional troubleshooter, this is unacceptable. After resetting, my player freezes when trying to re-build the library. According to Creative's support pages, this would suggest corrupt data. Only after I reformat, I'll try to re-load the file that it froze on and it will load and play fine. It will freeze randomly on any file. And why do my files load perfectly on 4 other players and 3 other computers?I've upgraded the firmware, made sure I have all the WinXP updates, Creative software updates, tried 0 different USB ports among 3 computers, made all the suggested operating system tweaks, tried 4 different USB cables,? and ran some USB port diagnosing software. The fact is, the Zen V plus will randomly freeze. Sometimes it freezes at 2GB, sometimes at 2 MB of data. Once the Zen freezes, I reset, and it will hang on re-building the library every time. In recovery mode, the player will hang when I try to Clean. After I re-format, I'm able to gain access again and load files, but it freezes every time I try to load it up again. I have many years experience troubleshooting hardware & software. In my professional business, I would never?spend so much time on one unit. My only conclusion is that it is a firmware problem. I would take a look at the code and see what the problem is, but I'm not on Creative's payroll. On a more positi've note, the Zen V Plus looks like it would make a nice doorstop.

Limited amt of albums?

Destroyed Pictures after export

Last night I did an export of 140 pictures. JPG, 2560 x 2560 pix. Came from RAW pictures stored inside the library. I did that with aperture 2 very often.
It was not a real surprise that all that action took over 70 minutes because aperture 3 is real slow (delete 2 pictures - wait 2 minutes). In aperture 2 it took a few minutes.
What really knocked me out: around 1/3 of the exported pictured have really bad parts, blocked areas, scrambled picture parts. A real mess.
What happens there?

I am experiencing the same problem. Slow, slower, slowest program I ever had on any Apple machine.. Where is Apple with statement, an upgrade? Everybody is protesting. Looking with one eye to Adobe now (at least they first call it beta version, before they throw their promises online).

RAW changes...

I haven't my camera with me at present so cannot test these ideas.
If the incamera settings are set to certain values, say sharpening Max, Tone B&W then when the RAW is imput direct from camera into Aperture I would assume the RAW image that is viewed will have MAX camera sharpening and be B&W.
Why then if I alter the settings in another RAW converter, say Nikon Capture or NX with its powerful upoint function, the input will default back to the camera capture?
The reason behind this post is that the key to RAW is the ability to change certain camera controlled aspects after the image has been initially created, and if one viewer cannot see what another has done then really it means a RAW - TIFF/JPEG into Aperture which then defeats alot of what aperture is about. Any thought or workflow ideas?

If you are shooting in RAW then those settings do NOT have any effect on the RAW file itself - they are just instructions to the RAW conversion software. And the instructions are proprietary to each manufacturer - they only work in the manufacturer's software.
Basically there are no examples of conversion software that is capable of reading the conversion settings from another app, apart from Lightroom and ACR which come from the same company and are based on the same engine.

IPhoto wants to do an update/download

Tried to download pixs from camera today. iPhoto says: The phot library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.
I don't want to lose the numerous albums I've already taken the time to establish. Since I don't agree to the download/update, I can't access any of my photos or transfer pixs from my camera. Is there a way around this? Why would you insitute a new software that wouldn't recognize what you have already established?
Any help is appreciated.

Mac Book Pro 17in, purchased 12/2010. I have Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I do any system updates that I'm prompted to, but do not recall an upgrade specifically for iPhoto.
Does this help?

Gallery issue please help

When opening the "camera roll" it starts at the bottom (as normal). If I tap and drag to scroll up it freezes for a second and exits the "camera roll" and returns to the very first list. No error message, no "___ stopped working please try again", does it every time. Doesn't do it in most other folders. Except "all pictures". It starts me at the top and let's me scroll down a good bit but sometimes does the same thing. Both will let me scroll in my gallery in landscape mode as a coverflow. Didn't do this before today, I have no idea what's wrong. I erased a couple pictures that I took maybe after this started to no avail. Did 2 battery removals and even removed the SD card. Nothing. Went into settings>apps>manage>menu>filter>all>gallery n cleared data. Didn't delete pics as I feared just made a photo widget turn blank. No luck. I have no idea whatsoever why it started so randomly, please help. I have 345 in camera roll and 699 in all pictures

Ok I plugged it into the PC in USB mass storage mode n just moved some of the pix from Camera Roll into another folder. Unplugged n opened gallery>camera roll. Scrolled with two hiccups the first time, not again after and no forced back outs. Can it be the Camera Roll gets too full so I should keep folders smaller? All Pix might freeze still...yup.
