Dual video set up???

I have an 867 mhz g4. How can I find out if I can set up xtra monitor (dual video)?

Hi Trouts,
If it is the 32 mB card, it will support dual displays, but only mirroring (i.e. both show the same picture).
If it is the 64 mB card, then it is Twinview enabled and will support 2 independant displays.
Cheers!

  • Print to video set up

    Greetings all,
    I am trying to make a dub of my project to tape. My sequence in in 720p 30fps and my recorder is the JVC BR HD50. I have tried the edit to tape selection but I am getting a warning that reads,
    "unable to initialize Edit to Tape. Please sheck your current Device Control Present in audio/vdeo settings"
    If I try to change the settings I then get a waring that reads
    "Capture preset is set to HDV. Edit to Tape is unsupported with this configuration"
    So I then tried using Print to Video and am having all kinds of issues. What would the correct setup be for getting this sequece off my timeline and onto this tape format.
    Mac Pro1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2x2.66 GHz Dual-core

    HDV only works in print to video, and it will have to comform before ouput. Try resetting the Refresh A/V devices and make sure all setting match your deck. Under the Audio/Video setting find the A/V devices and check the different out box and set accordingly. If this fails save, shut down and reboot with all devices on and connected and try again. I just did and I seem to need the reboot for my test.
    Good Luck

  • PSCS4 crash - dual video cards - steps

    Many here may know my tale of woe when it comes to Photoshop Cs4 and dual video cards.
    I finally solved 95% of the crashing issues by installing twin video cards to drive 3 monitors. But I was still experiencing a crash once or twice a day. I've finally determined exactly what was causing those occasional crashes and thought I'd post it here (as well as file a bug report) so others would be aware of it.
    I drive 3 monitors - 24" Dell Ultrasharp, 30" Apple HD Cinema, 20" Apple Cinema off of 2-nVidia 8800GT cards in a 2007 2.66Ghz Quad MacPro with OS 10.5.7 and a Wacom Intuos 4 Large tablet with the latest driver installed (6-2-2.1 or whatever it is). 24" and 30" Monitors share a single video card and 20" is connected to the second video card.
    Photoshop CS4 has all OpenGL features turned on.
    I use the 30" monitor for the main window plus the toolbar and Control Bar. All other panels are arranged on the 20" monitor to the right. 24" Monitor not really active when Photoshop is in use. I do not have documents set up to open as tabs, I specifically have turned that off.
    An application crash is easily reproduced with the following steps:
    Open two documents on Monitor 1 -- call them DocA and DocB - Color mode, bit depth, etc is of no relevance. Floating windows, no tabs.
    Have the Layers Panel open on Monitor 2.
    With DocA the active window on Monitor 1 and DocB visible behind DocA somewhere -- i.e. not tabs, but floating windows -- click and drag a layer from the Layers Panel on Monitor 2 to the window for DocB on Monitor 1.
    Spinning beach ball for about 20 seconds
    Crash.
    Crash happens in every instance.
    What I have yet to test:
    Turning off OpenGL features
    Making the 20" and 30" share the same video card
    Hopefully this info is of some use to others with multiple video cards.

    I do not think this is likely to be confirmed as a photoshop issue as it is just as likely an issue with the Apple monitors which are notorious
    for going belly up.
    But most important it is curious as to why one has two cards and three monitors if one is not doing motion graphics, just curious. And then why three computer monitors.
    And in order to make this an issue with the three monitors and two cards and photoshop you would have to remove the second card and the third monitor
    to see if the crash no longer occurs. If the crash still occurs it would then not be an issue with the card more than likely as you would still have the drivers for the third monitor on your system.
    I have two monitors but seldom use the second for panels I would prefer to use it for preview of the entire image when retouching details on the main monitor. Hate to go back and forth from one monitor and the other.
    I don't necessarily doubt that this could be a bug with photoshop and the cards and monitor configuration or it is a n Apple problem for their support of two graphic cards, which I do not think Apple promises or Adobe for that matter. I think it is a problem that has to be tested one several different systems in order for it to be pin down.
    So you need other users with the same monitors and cards and of course your model Mac which is the same as mind the original MacPro 2.66Ghz model with those same monitors and upgrade cards. Of course you also need users with similar configurations but different models of displays and Macs and graphic cards to make certain it does or does not happen on other configurations.
    I know you are not saying it is photoshop's problem but there is no way at present from what you state to pin it down to anything specific.
    For instance if you turn on the third monitor and put some panels or a third document on it does that stop the crash? If no then it doesn't tell you much but if yes then would the second card have anything to do with this crash?
    You might or might not get my point.

  • How good is a Macbook Pro with dual video cards for gaming?

    I've been a PC guy my whole life (aside from my iPhone which I love). My gf has been pushing me to try out a mac and considering how my PC laptops have a pretty good track record of dying on me or encountering some other problems after a year or two, I can't help but consider making the investment. The only thing is, I'm a big gamer and usually get the latest games. I'm not super tech savvy though I do my research and get a sense of what kind of specs are better and worse.
    In terms of gaming, I always assumed that more ram = better. In that sense, I'm a little put off that even the most expensive MacBook Pro only comes with 4 gigs of ram (which is what my year and a half old laptop has now) especially when it seems most newer laptops have 8 gigs minimum for a fraction of the price (and 16 gigs if you're willing to spend as much as you would on the most expensive macbook pro). Does RAM somehow work differently on a Mac or is it truly that little?
    Also, how does the whole dual video card thing work, does that mean I'd be having the power of those two cards put together?
    Personally, I've been leaning towards the Asus G53SX-NH71 because I can buy it for less than the cost of the cheapest macbook pro and as far as gaming purposes go it seems to have more power than even the most expensive Macbook which costs over double the price.
    Am I missing something here? Do the dual video cards really bring that much to the table or for gaming purposes am I better off with a PC?
    Thanks.

    I've been watching this forum for years, and I'll have to say that gamers are not a big group around here.  A few things.  First, getting 8GB of RAM for the MacBook Pro is cheap.  Most people either don't care, pay Apple to do it, or, like me, DIY.  The max you put in a MBP is 8GB, so no 16GB, unless you were looking at the iMac or MacPro.
    Second, there is no dual video card in a MacBook Pro.  There is an integrated video card, an Intel HD3000, which shares RAM with the CPU, or a discrete video card, an AMD, various versions on different MBP's.  The Intel is for low battery usage.  The AMD is more powerful, and it's to be used when you've got power.  The video card has more applications than just gaming, but also in video and photo editing. 
    No one here is going to talk you into one platform or another.  If you are only going to game in Windows, then it's a waste to get a Mac.  If you're going to game in Windows but want the Mac side to do everything else, the build quality and elegance of the Mac will far exceed most products out there.  You can run Windows in Boot Camp natively, and as I understand, gamers love it, because the Mac is actually a better Windows machine than most Windows machines.  But I don't play games, so I have no proof. 
    So the choice is yours.  And we could argue all day long about the side by side comparison of a cheap Windows machine vs. the Mac.  You are using the price vs. price comparison that is a false dichotomy, ignoring how one values various features.  For example, the trackpad on a MacBook Pro far exceeds (and I mean light year exceeds) anything on any other laptop out there. 
    I spent 10 minutes answering your question.  I'm not debating you on x vs. y.  The choice is totally on what you're going to do.  Most of us are trying to contribute to the world, so gaming is low on the needs list. 

  • How to make iPod touch to have dual-video-out (device & TV)?

    I have been looking for a way to do this and maybe someone out there knows how to make and iPod touch do it!?
    I want what *Steve Jobs* did during the *last keynote* = using the iPod touch and at the same time showing that on a video screen.
    For my company I need a device with these capabilities:
    Must-have
    - Touchscreen
    - Dual Video (Display + AV-out simultaneously)
    - AV out (S-Video not DVI)
    - 12 - 24 volts (in-car voltage)
    - DRM Win or AAC
    Dual video means that I can choose the files/pics/vids on the iPod Touch screen, and at the same time show the same image simultaneously through video-out on TV.
    Current configurations of the iPod Touch only allows one or the other.
    NB: There is no other device that can do it. Tablet PCs have no video-out, Archos/PSP et al have the same restrictions as iPods do.

    any ideas anyone?
    come on guys 'n girls
    you are the specialists

  • Why is the iPod Touch (4th Gen) missing the video setting for TV Out?

    Has anyone else noticed that in the iPod Touch (4th Gen) that there isn't a video setting for TV Out? It's not on the new iPhone either. I wanted to attach an AV Composite cord from my iPod to my TV. It won't work because of the missing video setting. You would think that since this is new technology, it would have that setting. After all, my iPod from 2005 has that feature and works just fine with the $39 AV Compostie cable from Apple. I was hoping to display what I have on my iPod Touch to my TV, but discovered that I couldn't. When I called Apple, they thought at first I had a defective cable. But later told me that i OS 5 left out the video out feature as if by mistake. Could anyone elaborate on this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

    I am well aware that setting was on the iPod before iOS 5! My question is why is it missing? Because right now, Apple is selling the AV Composite cable claiming it's compatible with the iPod Touch (4th Gen) and it's not. Thank you!

  • Dual video displays?

    I have a late 2012 Mac Mini. I want to run dual video displays, but do not want to spend $2,000 on Apple displays. What are my options? I was told that I could only use one of the display outputs at a time.

    The infomation you receive was bogus. You can connect one dispay to the HDMI port directly or using the MDMI to DVI adopter.
    You can connect another monitor to the Thunderbolt port using an Mini-display port (it connects to the Thunderbolt port) to DVI, VGA HDMi, Display port adopter.
    *This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).

  • Dual video record limited

    I bought S5 for unlimited dual video recording.   Now will return because a 10 min limit is imposed.  Who knows where and under what temperature I am operating.  This is foolish.  On my motorcycle handlebars it will be cooled just fine at 70 MPhil and less.

    Hey mauricefrommississauga,
    So when you tap the Record Video (stop) icon, or press a volume button again, the video recording does not stop.
    Take photos and videos - iPhone
    Shoot some video. Choose Video, then tap the Record Video button to start and stop recording. Video records at 30 fps (frames per second). With iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you can switch it to 60 fps in Settings > Photos & Camera.
    Although that symptom is not specifically mentioned in the camera troubleshooting article, please try these steps from the top.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    3. Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    4. If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping   (camera swap icon).
    Please let us know what works.

  • Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, can see and hear other person but cannot see myself cannot find a video setting for skype on the ipad does anyone know?

    Just bought Ipad2. Loaded Skype, I can see and hear the other person, but They and I cannot see me...just my audio. Does anyone know where or how to find sype video setting on Ipad app?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Pavilion a6057c dual video

    I installed a pci video card and the computer defaulted to the new card. I went into bios and changed the video setting to default to the onboard video. The computer will not recognize the pci video card. When I go into the device manager is says the video cannot start (code 10). Is there a way to get both onboard and pci video card to work together so I can have two monitors?
    This question was solved.

  • What video setting should I use?

    I'm converting videos using Aieesoft, and am wondering what video setting is the best to use for playing on an ipad 4?  I don't want the files to be huge.  If I can I'd like to keep them under 1 gig each.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

  • After Effects is NOT using the full Twelve GB of memory on my Mac Pro late 2013 dual video cards

    I would like to know if there is a reason why AE CC12 and CC13 (2014) is not using the full amount of video card memory on my MP late 2013. It's six GB per freaking card I invested in and its not accessing it.
    Is there a work around this issue?

    Why shouldn't it. When I upgraded to this new Mac Pro late 2013 with its dual video cards. Premier turned into a blasting fast editor. I no longer need to render my edited cuts and the scrubbing of preview and timeline footage is phenomenal. The only performance boost I've seen in AE with this new system is in rendering and I can't even say its double as fast in comparison to Premier or Encoder and its an 8-Core system with 32GB of ram. Everything else is flying.
    So again to answer your why should it. I rebuttal with "Why shouldn't it". The other two mentioned programs are using GPU resources to improve performance why is AE so behind the curve.
    I'm not the only one asking why. I was in the audience at a Dmala meeting here in LA with Todd Kopriva and Al Mooney previewing AE and Premier 2014.
    People kept asking Todd about performance boost in between questions about new features. Todd finally just asked what do you prefer a couple of new features or performance boost. Everyone wanted performance boost over new features. If you think I'm making this up go ask Todd Kopriva.

  • Possible to change video to podcast in video setting?

    Is it possible to change the video setting in the info section on files on my ipod so my videos show up under podcast?

    Hi
    Thanks for the help, however the issue was due to the language difference in the systemobject. I could only translate the text of the object because it was maintained in a different language.
    However the topic was also combined with some technical issues in the system's setup.

  • Video set to autoplay causes hit counter to double count

    on my website i have a video set to play immediately (set to autostart). but for some reason, when viewing in FF, this makes my .php hit counter increment by 2 (or sometimes even 4).
    on other pages that have videos that are played manually, the hit counter works fine. but if i add autoplay video, the counter goofs up.
    chrome doesn't have this problem on any pages, nor does IE.
    i have reset FF to factory. v13.0.1

    j -
    i have read your suggestion several times, and i can't say that i completely understand it.
    "specifying your character encoding in an HTTP header sent before Firefox actually starts parsing the document. This has been reported as an issue in some shopping cart applications: failure to do this can cause Firefox to re-request (re-submit a request) when it comes to the meta tag specifying the character set. "
    i can't tell from these words whether it should be done or not (this has been reported as an issue & failure to do so ...).
    this is what is currently at the top of my page :
    &lt!DOCTYPE html&gt<br/>
    &lthtml lang="en"&gt<br/>
    &lthead&gt<br/>
    <meta charset="UTF-8"><br/>
    <title>DRAGON ART STORE - Home Page</title>
    <br/>
    if i understand you correctly, it would be better like this :
    &lt!DOCTYPE html&gt<br/>
    &lthtml lang="en"&gt<br/>
    &lt?php<br/>
    header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');<br/>
    ?&gt<br/>
    <head><br/>
    <title>DRAGON ART STORE - Home Page</title>
    is that what you had in mind ?

  • Media Encoder (AMC) F4V - none of the video setting effect file size????

    When I used to use sorenson squeeze, mov  i could get a web flick down to 15 MB by reducing frame rate or size.
    when using AMC - F4V - no matter what size or settings the same movie satays at about 34MB (with olny slight varistions if i tweek audio)
    How do i get the file size smaller if none of the video setting effect file size????

    In the limited amount of comparison testing I've done, I've found that 2-pass VBR files are consistently smaller than CBR files, all other things being equal. They're not always a great deal smaller, but they've never exceeded the size of the CBR files, and this goes for any type of encoding I've done, whether it's MPEG-2 for a DVD, or a web format like WMV, FLV (VP6), or H.264. This seems to be true even when the target and the maximum bitrate for the 2-pass VBR files match the bitrate "quantity" of the target bitrate of the 1-pass CBR files, and I've noticed this in any encoding application I use, whether it's AME, Sorenson Squeeze, or TMPGEnc Xpress. When analyzing my VBR-encoded files using an application such as MediaInfo, the average bitrate that is reported is never even close to my max bitrate, and is usually well under my target bitrate.
    I see two reasons for this:
    If you're encoding with CBR and set your bitrate at 1000kbps, for instance, the encoder will simply allocate 1000kbps of bandwidth (divided by the frame rate) to each and every frame of video, regardless of how complex or simple each frame is. Each frame will be compressed to as near 1000kbps (divided by the framerate) as possible. Using CBR, you can more or less estimate the end file size by multiplying the bitrate by the duration in seconds. Think of it as filling a series of water glasses: with CBR, you fill each glass full, regardless of how much each individual actually wants to drink.
    If you're encoding with 2-pass VBR and set your maximum bitrate to 1000kbps and (for argument's sake) your target bitrate to 1000kbps as well, the encoder will use the first pass to figure out how much available bandwidth is needed at each individual point of time, and that writes that to a log file that the second pass of the encoder then uses to properly allocate those available bits to the frames that need them the most. If a particular passage of the video can be encoded at a lower bitrate, and still maintain a prescribed level of visual quality, the encoder will simply put the squeeze on a little more. Back to our water glass analogy from above, this is the equivalent of filling each water glass with only as much water as each individual wants.
    For example, using the max/target bitrate set above, a low-motion/low-complexity passage of video may be able to be encoded at only 500kbps and yet maintain the visual quality of 1000kbps. This results in a fewer bytes needed to encode that particular duration of the video, and usually there are multiple sections in a video that can be treated as such. This has a cumulative effect and subsequently results in a final encoded video that has a smaller file size than it would had it be encoded at the same bitrate, but with CBR encoding.
    I'm not a software engineer or mathemagician, so I can't back all this up with empirical evidence, but in real-world practice, these have been my observations. Long story short: I always use 2-pass VBR for web-distributed encodes, and enjoy both smaller and better-looking files, at the expense of a coffee break.
