DTT2500's digital DIN with S-VIDEO

I currently own the DTT2500 5.1 speakers and would like to connect these to my Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook. The notebook mentions that there is an S-VIDEO connector in the back that you can get an adapter to connect to to allow you to connect the speakers via S/PDIF. What I was wondering is if I could use the digital DIN connector that came with these speakers to plug in directly to the S-VIDEO connector on the notebook.

No, they're different connections, a digital DIN can only be connected to either a straight digital DIN connection, or an adapter cable that has the DIN connection.

  • Digital Camera with Video Capability

    Being the father of newborn twins, I've agonized over the pros and cons of having either a digital video camera that can take skills, or quality digital camera with video capability.  What digital cameras offer the best video options?

    If you can afford it, get a camcorder that takes stills. The quality is on par with a point and shoot camera and you get better video than you'd get out of a digital still camera that takes video. 
    Camcorders take terrible stills.  I have tried all of the top-of-the-lines camcorders from Panasonic, Canon and Sony and none of them takes even a halkfway decent still.  A P&S will still take far superior photos to any camcorder.

    Taking photos or taking videos. I'd go for the one you think you'd do more of.
    I would agree with that.
    If you can afford both, get both.  If you can't, then check out the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.  It takes good stills and pretty good 720p video for about $240.  If you want a very good camera that takes better 1080p video than most (all?) consumer camcorders, then check the Panasonic DMC-GH1K, which goes for over $1000.  It is a DSLR so its stil capabilities will be well beyond any of the other cameras I mentioned.  If you decide to purchase 2 seperate pieces of equipment, then you could also check out the Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR for stills(about $200) and the Sony Handycam HDR-CX500V for video (about $750) or the Panasonic HDC-HS250 ($600).  I would avoid the Canon camcorders right now unless you can afford the S-series cams, as the lower models don't provide very good indoor video for the money.

  • Digital Din and 2.1 systems.

    Hi,
    Currently have DTT2500 system and utilise digital din connection. Subwoofer is on the way out I think and I also have no need for a 5.1 system anymore,a good 2.1 system would fine but I am wondering what, if any, 2.1 system, offers digital connectivity.

    The main reason I want a digital connection is that I currently have one and would prefer not to "trade down" to an analogue minijack. I currently have a soundblaster li've with the small expansion card that gives digital I/O (digital DIN, and I have also connected a small digital input/output module to the expansion card which gives spdif in and out in the form of coaxial and optical inputs/outputs). I suppose I could use the coaxial output on the module to connect to the megaworks?

  • How connect a 27 cinema display to HP Pavilion with VGA video output

    how connect a 27 cinema display to HP Pavilion with VGA video output

    If it is a thunderbolt version of the apple 27" display, you don't.  The TB displays can only work with a TB source.
    I also think you are out of luck with the mini-displayport versions of the apple 27" as well.   This would imply converting an analog VGA output  to a digital input of the 27".  I suspect that there is not enough data supplied by VGA for that to work and I do not believe any adapters exist for this.

  • How can iMovie deal with iPhoto video better??

    Hello,
    My 10 year old son has really taken a liking to home movie creation with this digital camera recording video clips. The regular digital camera that records video clips by default imports clips as .avi into iPhoto.
    He then uses iMovie to find those clips in "iPhoto Videos" in iMovie. He then creates the movies and shares it to iTunes to put on his iPod Touch. Here lies the problem. He is filling up my hard drive! His user account iPhoto library is 65g and he does not have a tremendous amount of videos but when I reveal in finder to show the details of an iPhoto video it shows the folder (year and month) and I see other related folders that go along with this video. Although his videos are usually 5 minutes he speeds them up or slows them down with other effects and I think that is swelling the iPhoto Library with some of these folders being up to 2g each.
    What is the best workflow?
    I tried putting his entire iPhoto library on an external but when running iMovie some the the project lost links to the associated events. Don't forget these events right now are stored in iPhoto because it is from a digital camera, not a camcorder.
    Option 1:
    Is there a way to bypass the import of video into iPhoto? Each time the camera is connected it imports to iPhoto. If I got a card reader and we took the SD card out and then imported would iMovie take over or would iPhoto still import if video and stills are on same card?
    Option 2:
    Import normally to iPhoto, then manually drag video clips to separate folder and 'import' them into iMovie as separate events. BUT then we have to remember to go back into iPhoto and delete those videos. That would put the video into iMovie and store it there and not into iPhoto. What a lot of work?
    Option 3:
    Buy a small Kodak video web recorder and will iMovie take those in as videos?
    I am assuming that storing these things in iPhoto, editing in iMovie, is creating this clutter. Please advise if this is the root of my problem. Why have these relatively short video clips consumed my iPhoto library? I think it is the effects, speed up movie ( he likes to make the voices sound like chipmunks and speed the songs up) that is creating addtional associated file in the iPhoto library.
    I think it would be better to run independently in iMovie and not have all this associated with clips stored as iPhoto Videos?
    I have 4 gigs left on my 250 gig HD.
    ANY help would be appreciated!!!

    Importing into iMovie isn't the problem. My pal seems to be under the impression that footage transferred from the camcorder directly into his PC using Vegas (which apparently saves it as .avi) is of higher quality than footage transferred to Mac via iMovie that's then copied for him as .dv files.
    I always thought that since .dv is the native format for the camcorder, then that's the original, raw material.
    So, my question is really whether when this guy is playing back and editing in Vegas, if the footage transferred to his computer directly and saved as .avi is really better and sharper -- or whether Vegas is simply is tweaking the .avi footage for optimal display in a Windows machine.
    In other words, once the final, edited footage is saved, will a .dv file be worse than an .avi file.

  • Whats the right Digital Camera to show video Clips on my new iMac OS X Lion

    Hi, Can anybody tell me what Type or Model of Digital Camera (with Video Clip Facility) to purchase succesfully down loading on to my brand new iMac OS X Lion?? I'm new to Apple iMac, found out that my 2 year old Samsung camera when downloading Photos and video clips, only shows the photos but not the video clips in my iPhoto folder. the clips are just shown in a black blank square!! Please HELP...Thank You

    Christa,
    Have you tried using iMovie for your video clips? If you aren't familiar with iMovie here is a link to the iMovie tutorials. I would think your current camera should be just fine.

  • Converting analog 5.1 (multiple cables) to Digital DIN (for Inspire 5700), how?

    Hi,
    So far I've been using my Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speaker system together with my Audigy Platinum in my Desktop PC to watch DVDs and play games with a 5.1 experience. To connect soundcard and Speaker system, I used the provided Digital DIN cable, and it worked fantastically, for both, DVDs and games.
    Now I bought a notebook and the only choice to improve onboard sound was the X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook. I thought that I could simply connect it to my Inspire 5700 by connecting optical out with optical in using a TosLink-Mini -> Toslink cable. While this may work for DVDs (I don't have the cable yet), it won't work for all other applications, because as I read optical connections only provide a stereo signal unless the signal it'ss encoded via AC3 or DTS.
    Of course there is the docking module which provides multichannel analog out. Trouble here: the Inspire 5700 only comes with two analog line in channels, front and rear. So that would lead to 4.0 instead of 5.1. Missing the center speaker for games is very bad.
    Therefore I am looking for a way to convert the analog signal coming from the docking module into something that can be decoded as a 5.1 signal by the Inspire 5700. I have already found the DTS-610 which would turn the analog signal into a DTS signal. But that costs more than the soundcard itself.
    So, my question: Is there any simpler / cheaper way how to transform multicable analog 5.1 to one-cable digital 5.1, either AC3, DTS or Digital DIN? I'd prefer a simple converter to Digital DIN, because that's what the Inspire 5700 was mainly designed for and it worked perfectly with my old Audigy.
    Alternatively, one could possibly also use some fancy software to convert all the wave-out sound into AC3 or DTS and send it along the optical cable. But I don?t know any such software plus I expect this to drain a lot of processor power.
    Any help is greatly appreciated it'ss kind of frustrating that two products of the same company can't be connected with each other, just because neither, the card nor the docking module provide Digital DIN.
    Thank you very much and best regards

    P.S. in another post, pjc said: You will probably require a 4-pole mini-jack > DIN converter to connect your Creative speakers to this socket.
    That's exactly what I'm looking for, but I couldn't find such a converter on the creative homepage.

    I believe the DIN for soundcard are mainly built and solely used by Creative. I don't think there is any 3rd-party converter in the market to do DIN. There is a software here posted by some other users that can do AC3 encoding on the fly. Not too sure where's the post now but you can do a search for it.

    I think I just fixed mine.
    Go to keychain access and select the crlcache.db keychain.  Right click and delete files and references.
    Then click on keychain access -> Keychain First Aid and do a repair.
    rinse lather repeat until the crlcache.db is gone from keychain.

  • FPS2000 w/ Audigy2 zs: Where to buy 1/8 male mini to 9 pin male digital din

    I bought my FPS2000 Digital speaker system a few years ago and was not able to use the digital din connection because my Soundblaster sound card at the time did not have a digital out. Somewhere I lost my digital din connector. I now have the Audigy 2 zs and am looking to buy a digital din connector to hook up my speaker system. The only problem is the male mini /8 in to male digital din is the most impossible part to find. Is there anybody that knows a retailer or online store that has one to buy? Thanks

  • Where can I get a longer Digital DIN cable? Help!

    I need an extension for the digital din cable to my creative inspire 5.1 digital 5700. I can't get it anywhere and my speakers are now connected with the normal stereo speaker cable extension and I can't output 5.1 sound off of my PC cause only 2 speakers are working.Please help me. Maybe someone knows where I can buy such an extension or maybe make one on my own? Andrew

  • Inspire 5700 Digital DIN Cable

    Hi! :smileyvery-happy:
    I have unfortunately broken my (9 Pin?) Digital DIN cable. I have been unable to find a cable that could replace my old one. I have had a lot of problems with my cable (no sound/noise etc.). I think those problems have occured because of the fact, that there has been some sort of loose connection.
    This cable is my only way to enjoy the full 5.1 audio from my computer, for now I'm only using 4.1 through the analog cables.
    I hope that it's possible to bye og replace my old cable...

    Hi there, im wanting the same cable but finding it hard to track down.
    Just to add, i need a 9 pin - 9 pin din to connect my creative 6.1 setup to an an external usb audigy 2 VE. Hopefully this would mean no need for the wired remote that connects to the 6.1 speakers? Can anyone confirm this?
    Cheers, i'll keep looking.

  • Clueless how to mate the AC3 sound file given me with my video project

    Hi gang. This morning I started researching how to do this, but haven't figured it out yet.
    My DSLR projct has ben edited on Premiere Pro CS5. I created the project in stereo and once I picture locked, outputted an OMF file to the sound mixer.
    He just delievered to me an AC3 file. I've no idea what to do next.
    I'd like to mate the AC3 with my video, of course. Do I do that in Premiere Pro? Do I export an uncompressed AVI video file and somehow mate the two together somewhere else?
    Clueless here.
    (of note: This Friday I am having a screening of three of my short films, including this one. The screener will be on DVD and has to be an auto play DVD, something you can pop into the player, no menus, it just plays and goes from video to video. I created a couple test DVD's in Encore and it worked.)

  • Digital camera with iChat

    I have a digital camera with a usb connection. Can I use that for a video chat? I'm using chat 3.1.9
    Thanks, Michael

    Hi,
    Most likely the answer is No.
    I have a Kodak DC4800 It connects to iPhoto over USB.
    It can not be seen as a Live Camera over this route.
    It does in fact have a very small single channel socket (Smaller than a 3.5mm jack) that has a RCA connector on the other end.
    This can be used to Display pics on a TV Screen (There is a Menu item in the Set up for PAL or NTSC) which can be handy to take Indoor pics if you can not see the display properly. If you have a VCR Recorder you can record video that way.
    I used it to go through a DV converter.
    This was used to convert an Analogue CamCorder but I tried it with the camera.
    If the Video can be seen over USB in say iMovie (It can see many more Video codecs than iChat or Photo Booth) or Quicktime Player (if you have the Pro capabilities to Record) then it will be a question of an Utility for iChat. (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/) This can change the codecs of some USB cameras that have drivers and can be "Seen" in various other apps. (Essentially it converts it to DV format).
    If the USB feed can not be seen in any App you would need a Mac Driver for it much like you would for a WebCam.
    There are Third party Drivers fro many web cams as well as some cameras coming with drivers on the Install Disk or downloadable from the Manufacturer's Web Site.
    However these tend not to exist for Stills cameras, nor do the third Party ones work.
