Displaying multiple analog video signals

I am trying to view two simultaneous video feeds coming into a PXI-1409. Video #0 seems fine but Video #1 does not seem to be triggering correctly. I've included the VI that I have successfully used before with different cameras (Pulnix TM-300 cameras). I did not write this code but I did modify it so that it would work with my cameras (Samsung SCC-B2331). I believe that it has something to do with the triggering. Perhaps I shot myself in the foot with the modification but I'm hoping to get a better understanding of what's going on Any suggestions?

Hi samwarr11,
What did you change in this VI when you adapted it to work with your cameras? And can you attach the picture you tried to include in your last post -- it's not showing up.

Analog video signal

Hi everyone,
is there a chance to get an analog signal over the HDMI output so i can convert over DVI to VGA?
Thanks!

Help please?
It's me again!
So far I've got the analog video stream captured only when using DVD Creator 2. But, I still have two more problems to solve. 1) When I stop recording onto DVD creator, always error message:"WinDVD Creator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." is displayed, and restarting the program it cannot open the recorded clip saying "either the file is corrupt or a non-compatible file format" while Windows Media player can play it back. I cannot edit the recorded video clip as a result. 2) The second problem is that the video stream from S-Video of analog camcorder is played back OK, but once click the record on DVD creator, the video capturing starts to lag and looses smooth flow.
Any hint or comment is appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe

Displaying multiple analog input channels using DAQmx READ commands.

I am using a NI USB-6009 module in a hydraulic load test stand. I want to read multiple analog voltage inputs and display them on my front panel. Using DAQmx commands or DAQ assistant, LabVIEW will only let you have one READ command for the analog inputs. Can someone point me to an example or give me some ideas on being able to display at least 3 analog inputs? Thanks.

With the DAQ Assistant, when you get a list of 'Supported Physical Channels', look at the bottom of the window. It says "<Ctrl> or <Shift> click to select multiple channels. When you use the DAQmx Create Channel and have a physcial channel control/constant, click the little arrow on the right side of the control/constant, select browse and use the same <Ctrl> or <Shift> click technique. If you want to enter the channels manually, the format is Dev1/ai0:2 for consecutive or Dev1/ai0,Dev1ai3 non-consecutive channels.

Qosmio G10: analog video signal capturing from Camcorder

Please help
I am from Canada and new to this forum. I bought a Qosmio G10 early this year but only had a chance to try to use it to capture and convert my V8 home video tapes recently with no success.
I have tried the Toshiba Tech support with no hope. I have tried the registery patch for VinDVD creator 2, but still it is not seeing my video input stream from the camcorder. I tried both S-Video and Composite inputs with no result. Anybody with similar experience?
I appreciate your help.

H215 Loses the analog video signal after a few minutes after start up.

After Windows 7 is loaded and about 30 minutes to an hour of normal screen and computer usage, the display goes black and my Viewsonic monitor says that the analog signal is missing and then goes into power save mode. Why is this happening? And the only way to resume the use of the computer is to force shut down the tower and then to power it back on. Which then runs through the failed start because I had to force shut down the system due to the display losing its signal. Please assist in this matter. I just bought the system a few days ago and for it to be doing this is quite dissatisfying. Thanks.
The system specs is:
CPU: AX2 250
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 1 TB
ODD: DVD-RW
OS: WIN 7 HP

Hello Oremus Productions,
First of all, sorry for this frustrating issue. The first thing to check with OS X Mavericks or Yosemite is the permissions of your Adobe folders. Here is blog post to check out: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
The other thing I'm curious about is ProRes and if Premiere is handling it properly. Tell me, do you have Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X, iMovie, or any of the Apple video products installed? Do you have any components in your Mac HD > Library > QuickTime?
Thanks,
Kevin

Solutions for displaying s-video signal on Macbook Pro? (2006 model)

I looking around for ways to display an s-video signal on my Macbook Pro, but i've no idea the best way to this.
I'm not really after capturing or recording the signal, but I just need a means that I can view the signal, and to be able to switch to another program running on the Macbook. (switch back and forth from Mac app to viewing s-video signal)
Ive seen a few products but they look overblown for what I really need to do like the Elgato video capture, and the xlr8 provideo usb devices.
Is there a way that I could use the DVI socket on the Macbook? I have seem its possible to display the Macbook signal on an external display using this socket, but can it be used to take an input signal?

Technical note of what I exactly need this for: I have an old Roland sampler which can be used with an external monitor to aid in its editing. The outputs on the sampler are s-video and digital RGB. So that I dont have to buy an old bulky monitor I want to use my Macbook display for this while I also am running Logic Pro 8 at the same time. And to switch from Logic, to the displayed signal from the sampler.

The DVI out on your MacBookPro cannot be used for input. In order to see the s-video signal on your MBP display you will need an analog-digital converter like the Canopus ADVC-55, plus you will need to run software. You may be able to use iChat A/V, although I haven't tried it for this purpose. It will cost you more than the Elgato eyeTV device, however.
You will find it much easier & cheaper if you just get an inexpensive LCD display to use with your Roland sampler.

How can I get my 2010 macbook pro to send signal out through the mini display port?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1). Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor. There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred. Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?

So you mean that Mac mini is different than other ordinary computer and is need an active display to avoid black screen in remote session!!!!!Oh my god, Steve would be embarrassed!

Is there a way to display multiple iPad screens on the same television screen simultaneously?

Is there a way to display multiple iPad screens on the same television set concurrently? The idea is to let multiple individuals do something on their iPads in a timed window and then display the results of each iPad users answer concurrently on te same television.

Devices that display two, four, or even eight video signals on a single monitor are available in the video security market. Maybe you could find something there that would do what you want. A quick search on "security tv screen multiplexor" (without the quotes) yielded millions of pages; several on the first page looked promising if you don't mind composite video.

Getting analog video over DVI

I have a Samsung monitor connected to my 17" Macbook Pro using the Mini-Display to DVI adapter and a DVI cable. However, I believe I'm somehow getting analog video converted to a digital signal. I believe this because:
1.) The picture is noticeably not as sharp. It looks like analog video.
2.) If I reboot in Windows (via BootCamp) I get a much sharper picture - looks like digital video
3.) When the OS X first boots up I get static on the monitor, like you get on an analog TV when you can't get the station.
Anyone have any ideas about how to tell OS X to output digital video? Do I need to install a driver for the monitor?
Thanks.

Hi igril,
both apps, iM and iDVD, expect signals via firewire; both apps using this standard, because a) it is more reliable then usb and b) the specs of fw allow a "generic" set of protocols to remotely control devices (a usb connected camcorder needs "drivers").
b) 30 frames per second in realtime into 768x576 pixles plus color info plus audio with a sampling rate of 44.1Khz... just simple A/D .. ehm, well...
in the PC market you find some cheapo usb "sticks", claiming to digitize.. but with a much smaller res...
Apple decided in meaning of simplicity, convenience and quality, not to go this route...
inexpansive? ebay some used miniDV with analogue-in or an old Formac box...

ViewSonic VX2835wm - only Analog video ?

Strange,
I normally have the mini connected to a Dell 2702WFP using the supplied mini-DVI to DVI adaptor. The native resolution of the display is 1920x1200. Works fine.
As a replacement for TV I use a ViewSonic VX2835wm. This is a Monitor which basically has similar specs to the Dell (however, only half the price of Dell - but for TV this is ok).
The Viewsonic is connected from the DVI output of a DVDO Iscan HD+ with a DVI to HDMI cable. The DVDO can send either Digital Video or Analog to the Viewsonic. Both work.
Now, when I connect the Mini to the Viewsonic using the same cable, I only have analog Video - The picture is unsharp, fuzzy edges, small color-distortions. Also in the menu of the mini I have:
1920x1200 (pal/ntsc), and 1920x1080 (pal/ntsc).
I do not like analog Video because Playback of a HD movie using analog doesnt look better then SD through the DVDO.
Both monitors support HDCP and the Mini is able to output Digital Video at 1920x1280 as I can see when I connect it to the Dell Screen.
The Viewsonic is able to Display a Digital Signal throug the DVDI-HDMI cable.
Is there any way to overcome this limitation - can I force the Mini somehow to only send Digital Video ?

After doing some research, i now have more information - but instead of making things clear I am confused more.
The signal is indeed digital, but, the Monitor identifies itself to the mac as a "Television Screen" - or the Nvidia driver interprets the output of the EDID as this.
there is an additional option in the monitor control panel, where "overscan" is selected (does not appear when the mini is connected to the DELL Display).
If I unselect this, the 1920x1200 resolution is gone. only 1080 is possible.
I am no expert in Digital Video transport, but overscan is something which should be nonexistant for a DVI/HDMI video signal.
Does that possibly mean, the Mini sends a 1080p signal, and, by instructing (?) the Display to overscan, the display itself tries to scale the data to 1200 lines ? This would explain the artefacts I observed, but doesnt make any sense.
I finally tried Windows on the Mac Mini, and here the image is perfect.
I anyone else has a good explanation for this behaviour I would like to hear it.

Firmware 2.0 Video Signal Monitor Issues

This is a story of woe regarding my issues with the histogram "video signal monitor"Everything described below is using CineEI Since purchasing the camera, I was never able to get the VSM to display consistently. There seemed to be little rhyme or reason to when it displayed and when it didn't. As with any other issue, I put my faith in the second coming, firmware 2.0. Today, I excitedly downloaded and installed 2.0. So far, only disappointment. Initially, I was able to get the VSM to display in every 23.98 recording format (I didn't try other framerates)I even tried turning on all the outputs, and was happy to find that my VSM stuck around. - Everything that follows is XAVC-L 1080 @ 23.98 - Then I tried turning on a LUT and everything went to ****** in a hand-basket. After turning on a Viewfinder LUT, I ony got that lovely "cannot proceed" message every time I tried to enable the VSM. I tried turing off all the outputs, turning off output displays, nothing helped. Frustrating, needless to say. But, because the VSM would be sampling the post-LUT image anyway, I wasn't heartbroken...yet. Defeated, I turned OFF the viewfinder LUT. Got excited to see my new friend the VSM. But now, even with the LUT off, I get the "cannot proceed" message. I've switched every related setting in the camera, outputs, output display, output formats, other LUT settings. Nothing helps. Now I can't do anything to get the VSM to display on my camera. I've tweeked every setting imaginable. I've tried restarting multiple times, even switching between Cine EI and custom. the VSM won't even display in custom mode now... The only fix I've found is to do an All Rest. Doing so allows the VSM to display without a LUT. But, once I turn on a LUT, the VSM disappears for good, even after I switch the LUT back off. I wouldn't wih this frustration on my enemies but has anyone else experienced this after upgrading to 2.0? Sony, is there a matrix somewhere that can educate us on when the VSM can and cannot be displayed? It's hard to discern when I'm experiencing nominal behaviour without knowing what to expect from normal operation.

ok, I found an output combination that I must have missed earlier which narrows my issue. My VSM won't display unless an SDI output is enabled. HDMI output setting makes no difference. So, after enabling SDI in "Output On/Off": SDI 2048x1080Psf HDMI --- VSM: YESSDI 1920x1080Psf HDMI --- VSM: YESSDI --- HDMI 1920x1080P VSM: NOSDI 1920x1080i (2-3pd) HDMI 1920x1080i (2-3pd) VSM: YES The same concept holds true for UHD and QHD. Without an SDI output enabled, no VSM. Erik, I suspect that if you enable an SDI output, you'll be able to display the VSM in all recording formats.

Capture analog video

Hi, when i have a g5 with finalcut 5 i can capture analog video (betacam conected to a dvcam recorder then with a "non controlable device" and then "capture now") now, with the mac pro and fcp 6 i can't.
there are no signal to capture, what can i do?

The deck is in e/e if you can see the analog signal in the log and capture window. If you can't see it, it's probably not in e/e... keep looking, all pro decks have this function. The other thing you should be able to do is dub the source tape to the digital recorder. Make sure too the input selection on the machine is set up properly.
