Does Mavericks add support for 10 bit per channel capable monitors

Just bought a HP Dreamcolor z27X monitor and have a new Mac Pro 6,1 and would like to know if my workstation supports the full capabilities of the monitor I just purchased.

10.9.3 still doesn't add the 10 bit support.
That 'is a strong inhalation of breath' (forum will not allow s..ks). I have to say Apple are falling way behind in terms of supporting current media standards.
Not ony has 10bit video been around for quite some time now and is something used and supported in Adobe products in the Windows world, but Apple have also failed to support HD audio standards as used in Blu-Ray as an example and also look like failing to support H.265 as will be used for 4K video. (H.265 is twice as efficient as H.264 making it far more practical for the much bigger bandwidth requirements of 4K video.)
Now in the case of HD audio and H.265 it might be that there is no justification from a playback point of view from Apple's perspective, but what Apple appear to have forgotten is that Mac used to be the first choice for creating media files and if Apple don't support these standards then Macs can no longer be viewed as being suitable for media creation. Therefore this is a huge own goal on Apple's part as content creators would be precisely those people looking to buy new Mac Pro systems and Apple have at least designed the hardware to support 4K editing even if their software is increasingly too feeble to support the required standards.
Note: I have previously submitted an enhancement request to Apple regarding 10bit video support, and also H.265 support, both prior to Mavericks being released.
I have no problem with Apple not supporting Blu-Ray playback in the form of providing themselves a Blu-Ray player. However as above I feel they should make the Mac or more accurately OS X able to utilise the same formats as this will allow both content creation tools, and also the possibility for a third-party Blu-Ray player that supports HD audio formats. It is apparently possible for a Mac running Windows in Boot Camp to play these HD audio formats which makes sense since Macs use pretty much the same hardware as 'real' PCs so it is just OS X that is the problem. In fact the way things are going even Linux is moving ahead of OS X in terms of media format support.

  • Codec that supports 16 & 32 bit per channel color?

    What Quicktime 7 built-in codecs support hi-bit 16 & 32 bits per channel?

    I assume you're working with image files.
    The Animation codec supports 16 (Millions of Colors) and 32 (MIllions of Colors+). Great, fast encoding, high quality video.
    Photo-JPEG uses 32 bit.
    If you're only using a single frame your could use TIFF, PNG for 16 and 32 bit and Photo-JPEG for 32.
    What is the goal of this project?

  • Why does PS show only 256 color Steps in a 16 Bit per channel workflow

    Hi forum-members,
    I am a bit confused about the way PS (CS5) acts with colors when editing pictures (RAW-converted) in RGB 16 bit per channel mode.
    (please don't mind, if I am using some wrong English expressions here - since the PS at my work is German)
    --> I would expect, that I would be able to select from a variety of 65535 (=16 Bit) color steps for every R - G or B channel ... bus PS still let's me select just 256 (=8 Bit) colors per channel (in the color palette on the right - also the "color pickup tool" will show 8 Bit values - the image certainly has 48 bit color depth).
    Why am I asking? I will get a display capable of displaying 10 bit colors per channel in PS (NEC PA241W, ATI FirePro V5800, DisplayPort --> 30 Bit colors in Adobe PS) next week. And thus I need a better color resolution (which would mean: 16 Bit in PS) to avoid banding-effects.
    Does anybody know why I can't select more colors here or how to change this behaviour?
    Thank you very much in advance for your answers!

    Hi Mark,
    I already managed getting it to work :-)
    First I did not succeed and I had to reinstall my system (because of driver issues of the remaining nVidia driver - my old card...).
    After reinstallation and performing all necessary steps (as descripbed here: http://www.amd.com/us/Documents/48108-B_ATI_FirePro_Adobe_10-Bit_FAQ_R5_Final.pdf) I now get 30 Bit color ...
    ... which is AMAZING! You really can see the superior quality in almost every picture. Colors are very accurate and especially in dark shadows or skys you get a much better color rendition (now its indeed hard to see the color values of a color gradient anymore...).
    Also have a look at this page related to 10 Bit output: http://www.amd.com/US/PRODUCTS/WORKSTATION/GRAPHICS/TOOLS/Pages/tools.aspx
    And don't forget to download 'ramp.psd' from the page above - it's a good tool to proove wether everything has worked - if you're really running on 10 Bit you will not be able to see any banding within this picture (with 8 Bit you'll see a few vertical bars... moving up to 10 Bit will result in a smooth gradient)
    As with every good news there are also some annoyances (at least till now, since I think it's "only" driver problems ... so there's a good chance, things will change further in the future):
    - First of all: 10 Bit per channel ONLY works with the "professional grade" graphics cards (ATI FirePro), don't try this with a Radeon type card - it simply won't work. Similarly nVidia adds 10 Bit support on display port only on the QuadFX series (very expensive!). And I just can speak for ATI FirePro cards, since this is, what I am using here. Since the cards are physically identical to the "gamer" versions I think this is a way to promote their "professional grade" cards by the vendors. (BTW: all supported ATI cards are included in the pdf mentioned above)
    - ATI: with the latest ATI driver (8.7xx) will loose some abilities (OS is Windows 7, 64 Bit): first, you will loose your Aero display features, since there's some background process running that prevents Win7 from using Aero. I guess, this could be due to a lack of alpha blending capability of the driver (or hardware?) when used in 10 Bit mode. If you don't need 10 Bit it can easily be turned on and off (+ Reboot), so that the effect is NIL in "normal" operation mode.
    Second I recognized some trouble using certain apps: especially playing BluRay get'S trouble, for HDCP is not detected anymore - the BluRay player tells, that HDCP is not supported by the monitor. Again, the error is gone if switching back to 8 Bit mode.
    - There's no way to select the "new" colors in Adobe PS (this is - in my opinion - a bug in Adobe PS and should be fixec someday). I "worked around" this by generating a 16 Bit RGB picture with a smooth gradient --> now you can pick even the finest colors using the pipette tool... which works fine.
    After all: working with 10 Bit p.C. is a great pleasure! Of course you need 16 Bit RGB pictures (which are huge sized) to get the plus in color rendition - but I am well willing to pay the price - the images are just looking great (and the PA241W is the right tool to get there - a very well made monitor! Really worth the price - equally addictive like Eizo's GC series).
    Hopefully I could help you - please don't hesitate to reply if you need further assistance!
    Best regards
    Roland
    P.S.: Yes, this forum is WAY better than most on the net - very reliable and professional support! With support of "real" Adobe engineers - congratulations, Adobe! Very much appreciated.

  • Support for 8-bit pseudocolor visuals on Solaris 10 u8 Virtualbox guest

    Hello,
    I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86 as a Virtualbox (3.0.8) guest on a WinXP host with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 vcard. I use JDS for the Solaris guest, and only 24-bit truecolor visuals are available for the desktop. I desperately need to run Xnest in 8-bit pseudocolor mode for an application. The video driver supplied with the Vbox Solaris guest additions has limited capability, and I think that until that driver is upgraded, I am out of luck. Does anyone have any different thoughts about that?
    Is there a way to edit xorg.conf to get support for 8-bit pseudocolor overlay graphics? Wouldchanging the video driver in that file from vboxvideo to either VGA or VESA help? Any advice from an X expert would be GREATLY appreciated.
    I've also tried to use svcadm to get the guest to open in 8-bit mode (default depth), but I think that the Vbox video driver (standard and VESA) only support 16- and 32-bit color modes. Is there some other way to get JDS or CDE in the guest to run in 8-bit color?
    Thanks.....

    Regarding expense, I was referring to the dual-headed card you suggested, not Xming.ah. my bad. Though most cards nowadays have dual outputs.
    Here is a Vbox report documenting the whole situation, including Sun's replies regarding DirectColor:
    http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4557
    it looks like you guys were talking past each other.
    >
    Note my outputs of xdpyinfo in there: no Pseudocolor visuals in 24-bit mode in the guest (the cause of my problem). My host NVIDIA card has dual DVI outputs, and I have two monitors; are you saying that I set one monitor in Windows to run in 8-bit, and then run Xming on that monitor, and then set up a remote display for my guest, and try and get the guest to display to that remote display? If so, that could be worth a try. If not, maybe I did not fully understand the idea from your first post. I'd rather not have to go out and buy a new dual-headed card unless absolutely necessary.The problem you have is that virtualbox needs a 8 bit display somewhere to send the output to. Send your end display is a windows display in 24 bit mode, it's a lose since windows won't (at least the last time I looked) allow an 8 bit window in a 24 bit desktop. You could try running the main windows display in 8 bit mode and then starting virtual box, but odds of things going in your favor is not great.
    Your new idea of running a vnc server in 8-bit mode within Solaris is very interesting indeed. I am unfamiliar with vnc. I saw this page:
    http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/VNC/vnc_on_solaris.shtml
    It says that VNC comes with Solaris 10 u5, on the companion CD. I assume that u8 has it also.Somewhere along the line, sun began do bundle vnc as a part of solaris proper. It should be in /bin/vncserver.
    I'll look into that. If you know of any other source of info on vnc, please let me know. Thank you VERY MUCH for the suggestion!!!Here's more or less what you should do:
    1) login to your virtual solaris box
    2) Start up a 8 bit vnc server by typing "vncserver -depth 8 :1"
    3) After the setup questions (if I remember, you need to at least set a password), you can connect to the vncserver by
    typing "vncviewer :1" and entring the password.
    You could also get a windows VNC viewer and connect to the solaris vnc server. This may render faster, since you aren't running the vncviewer in a virtual session.
    4) In the vnc viewer display (which may look funny because the default setup is usually a horriffic twm session), start your Xnest.
    If you want cde, edit your .vnc/xstartup to look like:
    #!/bin/sh
    xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
    xsetroot -solid grey
    dtterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
    dtwm &
    If you want jds, replace the dttterm/dtwm with gnome-panel.

    Log Message:
    Add support for dataTips to Slider
    SDK-16291 Implement data tip for slider
    - Added new dynamic, optional skin part called "dataTip".
    - Added dataTipFormatFunction, dataTipPrecision and showDataTip properties
    - Added protected function positionDataTip
    - Added dataTip skin part to FxHSliderSkin and FxVSliderSkin
    - data tip is an IDataRenderer, so it can render any type of data
    The data tip appearance is defined entirely by the skin. The position of the
    data tip is calculated using a combination of the skin and the Slider controller.
    The following properties were not retained from the Halo Slider:
    - sliderDataTipClass (the skin part allows the developer to define the data tip type)
    - dataTipStyleName (styling is defined on the skin part)
    - dataTipOffset (the offset position is defined in the skin part)
    SDK-16823 - Gumbo Slider does not support scroll wheel to increment / decrement value
    Slider listens for scroll wheel events anywhere on or off the stage while it has focus.
    QE Notes: Test new properties, functions and data tip behavior
    Doc Notes: Added new properties and functions

    Try rolling your fingertip on the mouse pad. This works very well and you have much more control.
    You've mentioned that you get fed up and then insert numbers or even click the up/down arrows.
    Alternatively and I only found this out the other day - thanks Victoria B.
    Use the comma , and period / stop . keys to navigate down / up through the settings below
    LR4 settings
    temp (white balance)
    tint
    exposure
    contrast
    highlights
    shadows
    white clipping
    black clipping
    clarity
    saturation
    vibrance
    LR3 settings
    temp (white balance)
    tint
    exposure
    contrast
    higlight recovery
    fill light
    black clipping
    brightness
    contrast
    and use the + and - keys  to move the sliders up and down in medium (±5)  steps and press control / cmd and + -  keys to use smaller (±1) steps. I think using the alt / option key with the + and - keys moves the sliders in larger (±10 oe 20) steps.
    You can use the aleft right rrow keys, but for some reason (bug), they dont follow the focus with the , and ., so you still need to click on the sliders to move the focus from one setting to another if you prefer to use the arrows.
    As I said above, the apple magic mouse is amazing for OSX snow leopard and Lion and is so intuitive for LR, but its an expensive mouse but IMHO well worth it
    Hope these help, the , and . is a great alternative to rolling your finger on the touchpad.

  • Support for 64 bit Linux

    Hey macromedia/adobe
    When can we have support for 64 bit Linux? The problem is
    that most new hardware
    is moving towards 64 bit architectures. We have a brand new
    server, RedHat
    Enterprise 4, coldfusion will not run on it.
    Direct Contact: [email protected]

    I couldn't agree more - it's insane that an enterprise
    product isn't supporting x86_64 instructions in 2007.
    On a more constructive note - does anybody out there have a
    compiled connector for RHEL or CentOS 4.X, the 64 bit version? I
    ask because I've found numerous pages on the web describing how it
    works great for people after they compile it on their own. Well, I
    can't get it to work. I have CentOS 4.4 x64, and I try to run this
    script after successfully installing CFMX 7.0.2 by using the method
    to sed out the checks for the right kernels, etc. Here is the
    script I try to run inside the connectors/src directory:
    /usr/sbin/apxs -c -n jrun20 -S
    LIBEXECDIR=/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/ mod_jrun20.c
    jrun_maptable_impl.c jrun_property.c jrun_session.c
    platform.c \
    jrun_mutex.c jrun_proxy.c jrun_utils.c | more
    /usr/sbin/apxs -i -n jrun20 -S
    LIBEXECDIR=/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/ mod_jrun20.la
    strip /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so
    All the paths are correct, and when I run it I get about 1000
    warning lines from apxs about invalid characters and such in the .c
    file. Good times.
    Can somebody tell me how the hell to get this to work on 64
    bit CentOS 4.x? I'm going crazy here... and Adobe - GET OFF YOUR
    ***** AND PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ALREADY. IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE AMD
    STARTED SHIPPING THEIR FIRST X64 BIT CHIPS.
    This is approaching the no iTunes on Vista level of insanity
    here....

  • How to add support for new file type.

    Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
    I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
    I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
    Thank you

    Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
    Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
    CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
    LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
    I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
    At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

  • IOS Newsstand app, add support for .folio files

    Hello!
    We have an iOS Newsstand app to provide our issues to our clients, and we use a PDF reader.
    We would like to add support for .folio files in the app, by using a folio reader in our app.
    Searching around, I've only found the specifications for the .folio files and the Adobe Content Viewer app.
    Is it possible to have some more specific information on how we can make something like the Adobe Content Viewer app that we can integrate in our app?
    For example how we would parse the xml files, what views/controls to use (eg. UIWebview?) etc.
    Thank you very much!

    Neil let clear something:
    - After the .folio specification became public (with license off course) the "This really isn't possible to do" is not truth.
    I believe that what people need to know is that: "Are we allowed to build a viewer?" / "Does Adobe allow programmers to give it a go?"
    Before March this wasn't allowed but since the spec became public we all hope (and I believe Adobe too) that this format will have an industry standard acceptance - like the PDF. In this case many people will try to create  viewers, software, builders etc.
    The DPS is a great platform but VERY EXPENSIVE. Companies around the world have developed and are in a position to develop great experiences and great apps. Sharing the .folio is big and this is what we need to clear - and not the number of staff working on the DPS Viewer.
    Thank you in advanced.

  • Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script?

    Hi All!
    My LabVIEW application requires users to enter their observations in a string control which is then stored in an excel file.
    Now the issue is that the user wants to enter the data in Urdu language.
    Now my question is, Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script in a string control?
    If yes how can I implement this? If no, is there any possibility that National Instruments could extend some help in this regard upon request?

    My experience from Hebrew, which is also right to left, is that it can be done if the operating system supports it, but it will work badly if you include anything in the text which is not an Urdu letter. This causes it to be displayed in the wrong side of the control and is only solved if you add more Urdu text after it.
    One option you can try is including an ActiveX control (such as the rich text box) for editing the text and then you can probably get the text from it using a property. I don't remember trying it (my users don't usually need to input Hebrew text themselves), but I think it should work. I wouldn't have any hopes for NI doing anything about this, because it's considered to be a relatively small market.
    Try to take over the world!

  • OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

    OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I'm sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

    Hi there,
    If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
    There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
    Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
    I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
    I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
    Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
    Any other queries, just ask,
    Nathan
