DVI out to analog device????

I want to show my class iMovies I made via an old analog TV in the classroom that is connected to a VCR. I have a Mimi DVI port on my G3 laptop but don't know what cable and or converter box I might need to connect to the video port on the VCR to then see the iMovie.
Can this be done? Please help me figure this out. Thanks, TMagee

As I said, it depends on which iBook you have.
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-M8434G-Audio-Video-Foribook/dp/B00006BAZ8
That cable also goes by the identification as Apple Part #922-4559:
http://www.applecomponents.com/items/922-4559ibook-av-cable/0000000736?pn=1&cat=Accessories&perpage=30
That cable only works with the older iBooks G3. For later models of iBooks with 16 MB or more of VRAM, that cable will not work.

MacBook Pro DVI-Out and FrontRow Color Anomalies

ok, so i've got one of the first generation MacBook Pros 2.0GHz processor, 2GB RAM, etc. i want to use the DVI-out to connect to my Sharp Notevision projector, which has a DVI-input. i have a standard DVI cable and when i connect, everything is fine. i can display at the projector's 1280x1024 native resolution and finder and other application windows look just fine, color-wise.
however, when i jump into FrontRow (or play any Quicktime movie or use iTunes to play movies), the color shifts and looks horrible. the glow around the icons in FrontRow are oddly red, and other nuetral colors look greenish or otherwise. its almost like you've got a component cable connected with two of the channels swapped.
the same projector works fine and displays accurate color with my AppleTV and if i connect the laptop to one of my Cinema Displays, the colors for movies are all accurate. i thought maybe the DVI cable was bad, and bought a replacement and the new cable produces the same off-color results.
any help or guidance here would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
scott

Another update, I did some research and it seems that ATI are cagily admitting to the fact that there might be a problem with the X-series;
http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questio nID=26586

http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questio nID=25682
You'll notice that ATI tell you to contact the manufacturer of your computer if the graphics are integrated into the motherboard. Like with Apple. Much joy to be had there.
I phoned their technical support and got talking with a specialist who was mystified and suggested 'turning off the airport'.
Also, it seems that Apple rather significantly "underclocked" the GPUs in their macbook pros;

Could be running the GPUs are running on a lower voltage and maybe they're not working right, or the signal isn't stable enough to pick up an EDID? It seems to be quite a mystery. Perhaps the osx86 community will have some tricks up their sleaves for twisting the x1600's arm. Still doesn't explain why the monitor worked that one time.
This probably isn't an issue for anyone who doesn't want to plug their laptop into an external display, but I suspect it's a widespread problem just waiting to rear its ugly head, especially as HDTVs become more ubiquitous.
Anyone else struggling with external display devices, or with solutions, I'd appreciate your input.

Xtrememusic: Digital out or Analog out, Advantages Disadvanta

I have a Xtrememusic card, that has a wonderful sound using the analog outputs to 3 Sonic Impact T-Am
ps.
Now, I'm curious about using the digital out to a Panasonic SA-XR55 digital amp/receiver. I know I would lose the CMSS, but the Panasonic can do it's own synthesis of surround. I'm interested in knowing from users about the pros and cons of using the digital out or analog outs. I know the quality of the Xtrememusic DACs are good, and I read that the Panasonic?has a excellent sound output as well. If I choose to use the digital out, I could just use?the motherboard onboard digital out, although only in DVD modes does it do a true bitperfect pass through. In stereo mode, it's still using some of Windows to mix the sound. I could also use the digital out of the card. Seems like a shame to bypass all of that nice analog the card is capable of?
Oh yeah, anyone know if a old Creative Li've 5. I/O panel will work with a Xtrememusic card??Thanks

wiersch,
I believe you might have Skype set to auto-configure your soundcard. Try this, open Skype and go to it's audio setting menu. Disable the option 'Let Skype adjust my sound device setting.'

2008 iMac display failure, dvi out to another display?

Computer seems to be running fine, but display was intermittent and now blank. Can I bypass
Imac screen by using dvi out to another display device?
thx

Dave,
    Thanks, too late now but I wonder why the Apple Genius didn't mention TDM when I asked about backing up my data? He said data would be safe unless Apple Store roof caved in.
    All indications are that the video card is bad and Apple Care expired 9 mos. ago.
Good news is that replacement card w/labor is only $170.
     Just hope that is the only work needed.
   Genius thought my son's constantly playing Minecraft may have stressed the video card's limits .
Thanks again.

Labview driver for Analog Device cards RTI 800 series

Hello,
I'm Mathieu Meisser, from EPFL Lausanne - microtechnique.
I'm working for a company, that produces
laboratory PC-controlled analysers, sold all over the world.
we are searching for the Labview drivers for the I/O analog Device
cards RTI 815/817 in order to developp a new intrumentation control
with Labview 5.0.
It's very important to know if any kind of these drivers are
still avaible and work properly.
please let me know as soon as possible if you know
something about this !
thank you for your cooperation !

Hi Mohan,
Unfortunately there isn't a instrument driver specific to that device. What you could do though is use our NI-VISA driver and try to communicate with the instrument over serial (I assume it uses serial for communication) There are examples in the Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples) that ships with LabVIEW that will demonstrate some functions you can use. I hope this helps out.

DV playback quality DVI out to TV vs. DVD to TV

I've exported from Final Cut Express, using Quictime Movie, unchecking the make self contained box a 1:15 min. movie.
As I've played back that movie from quicktime 7 Pro and Quicktime X, no surprise, the DV movie does not look so good on my MB Pro screen, or on my attached monitor. But, when I connect DVI out to HDMI in on a vizio HDTV the quality is only so so. I have not deinterlaced in any steps in my process.
I then went ahead and burned the movie with iDVD. The DVD playing to the same TV from the connected DVD player looks terrific.
What am I missing to have best quality Quicktime movie file for playback on a TV from a connected media server?
Quicktime Movie specs:
CODEC: DV
File Format Mpeg 4
Stream Bit Rate 29.6Mbps
NTSC, 720 x 480 29.97 fps
A Ratio 4:3
Interlaced
Colorimetry 4:1:1
Thanks.

This actually makes since to me. If you're trying to play a movie that is 480 wide on a 1080 screen then you are blowing it up over 2x so the quality will suffer greatly. The reason it looks better from a DVD is most DVD players uprez, or upsample the video playback. SD directly from your computer to an HDTV likely won't look as good. You might try playing it through a device like a cable box or sat tuner that allows uprez.
However, here's the positive side, you can play back HD 1080 movies directly through your HDMI cable without the need for a Blueray player and get stunning quality HD. In short, use a DVD player for SD movies, and the DVI>HDMI cable for HD stuff.

Drivers for Analog Devices RTI-815

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find Labview drivers for an Analog
Devices RTI-815 card, if they exist?
The card came out of a Haake Rheocord System 90. The old
controller for it is a 286; we'd like to replace it with a newer computer
and software written in Labview. Thanks for your help.
-Nathan

Hi, thanks for the responses. I did a search on the 815 and 802, but I must admit, I neglected to search the forums for the AC28. All 3 cards are still available (although AD has discontinued their cards UEI manufactures replacement units) The company I work for has these cards in several test rigs, and I'm looking at options of modernising the PC & control software without incurring the cost of a complete control system retrofit (the current control software is DOS based). In view of performance & accuracy it probably makes sense to upgrade the cards and signal conditioning, but In the short term that would be a difficult proposition.
We also have other test machines which use labview, AD 5B signal conditioning, and Siemens profi connected I/O. Ideally if we were to look at a complete retro I would be keen to commonise as much equipment as possible. However, while the current hardware remains available, and performs adequately It will be quite difficult to justify.
SSK: Also, I would be interested in the code that was you utilised, if you could dig it up that would be a great starting point.
Mark: Thanks also for your post. I'll look into the driver kit, and most likely ask NI if they would consider writing some drivers at some stage.

Analog Devices Edition: Current feedback amplifier models not working

Hi, I'm using the Analog Devices version of Multisim and have problems simulating their current feedback amplifers. For example, I want to use the AD8000 as an inverting transimpedance amplifier, basically run a current into the inverting input, ground the non-inverting input, and chose the feedback resistor to be the transimpedance. I want to make sure that I can use feedback resistors between 100 and 2000 Ohms to convert negative current pulses to positive voltage pulses, but I can't get anything to work, even with the recommended feedback resistor values. With a current input I get negative rail saturation, while with a voltage input I get a step output.
Thank you.

Hi there,
I think I figured out why your circuit isn't working. It has to do with the treatment of the dedicated feedback output pin that exists on your amplifier. While this pin and the main output pin both exist on the physical package and are electrically connected, this isn't the case in Multisim. The feedback pin in Multisim exists on the schematic only, it doesn't actually have any simulation functionality. So, as a workaround, I suggest that you connect the feedback path to the output pin instead of the dedicated feedback pin. You would never do this in real life, but for simulation, it will work fine.
Thanks for pointing this out. We will look into this problem and have it fixed in the future.

USB-8451 SPI interface with analog devices isensor

Does anyone has example VI using USB-8451 with analog devices isensor? I am new to SPI interface and very slowly learning how to use labview in conjunction with USB-8451 to do SPI sensor reading.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm using labview 8.5.

elpiar wrote:
It's working!
Well, I realized I made a small mistake in the example. The number of bytes in the array constant should be 4, not 2. The device is full duplex, meaning you can write and read from it at the same time. The NI-845x SPI Write Read VI returns the same number of bytes as the number of bytes that were written. Thus, with just 2 bytes you will not actually get the current value of the register. You would get the values from the previous command. See attached mod.
Now if I read the data is burst mode, will the output be automatically be arranged in an array of 8-bit length words? You mention something about send out out 8 clock burst. I'm not sure how I do this.
For burst mode you have to send out more bytes so you get clocks generated for the read to occur. The burst mode command is 3E00. That needs to be followed by 12 16-bit numbers for the device to return all the registers from SUPPLY_OUT to AUX_ADC. The actual bytes after the 3E00 are irrelevant for a write. The NI-845x SPI Write Read VI should then return 26 bytes (2 bytes that line up with the 3E00 command, followed by 2 bytes per register, for 12 registers). You can convert this into an array of U16 values and do the conversions based on which register you're actually reading. I've attached a VI to get you started. The example converts the SUPPLY_OUT register and each of the GYRO_OUT registers. You can finish the VI. Note that you should make the 14-bit to 16-bit extension a subVI so you're not duplicating code.
NOTE: As with all example code that is provided you should verify that the numbers you get are correct. We don't have the hardware, so we can't verify correct operation.

T400 DVI Out through Mini Dock

The T400 has no DVI output plug. However with my old A31p which likewise has no DVI-out, I can get DVI from it through its docking station. Is it the same for the T400? When docked to the ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock, will I be able to get DVI from it?

Unfortunately, according to the Specifications posted at
http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/merchandising/US/PDFs/t400_and_t500_datasheet.pdf
the T500 has DisplayPort but the T400 does not. So no digital video output from the T400 unless through docking station.
I would strongly prefer the brighter WXGA+ LED-backlit screen which is only available on the T400 (T500 only has WXGA), AND the DisplayPort that is only available on the T500.
It seems you can't get both the higer resolution LED and the digital output on the same Txxx series notebook.

MBP freeze DVI out to a monitor

When I first got my 13inch 2010 MacBook Pro about two months ago, I connected it with an external monitor via MiniDisplayport to DVI cable. And since then I had experienced random freeze, the screen would suddenly turn to light green or some other color, keyboard and everything else stopped working, and I had no choice but to reboot. However in the last 10 days I removed the connection to the external monitor and so far I have not experienced any problem. I think I have isolated the freeze issue. Does anyone know what's going on here?? Is it possible for me to reestablish the connection without experiencing any crash in the future? thx

I have the same problem. When no external monitor/TV is used, no issues ever. When using HDMI-DVI and using HDMI as sound output, freezes every 15-45 mins. When using just video, no audio, freezes every 30-90 mins.
When I called apple support, they said no known issues. I ran the low level Apple hardware diagnostics (ASD 3S138) OS and EFI, and my mac passed every single test. (DVI port is not listed on the diagnostic)
Everything is up to date, and my MBP is was purchased in August (3 months old).
My buddy has a MBP 13" from a year ago, before they added the capability to output sound through DVI-HDMI, and he has never had an issue.
This seems to be a hardware issue, and only seems to be happening on the 13" MBP with the new DVI out that allows sound that was released mid 2010.

[SOLVED] dmraid "Timed out waiting for device" at boot

Created a bug report with solution proposal: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33166
I created a virtual machine to demonstrate the problem
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B40Hp1 … WZUQ21xZk0
The root and the other mount points are all on one raid disk. Although the root mounts quickly, other mount points cause timeouts at boot time.
dmraid prints that all /dev/mapper/isw_* devices are created.
I think /dev/disk/by-uuid/* links are created too, but for some reason systemd doesn't see them.
After boot I can execute "mount -a" without errors.

For some reason symlinks /dev/mapper/isw* are not present during systemd mount.

DVI out to component in (DVCPro HD)

Repost... Sorry, accidently posted in FCE, would like to ask again here.
Other than buying the Matrox MXO, I'm stumped.
I need to capture a clients PowerPoint into a FCP HD timeline so that they can see all their transitions, then I'll use Compressor to create an HD file which will play on their digital signage box. (plasma HD screen)
I already have a successful workflow with evey aspect EXCEPT getting PP in a HD sequence. PowerPoint is on a MacBook Pro (DVI out) to a quad G5 with a BlackMagic HD extreme card that accepts component in. I've tried a scan converter that has component out, and a simple DVI to component cable. BlackMagic card sees nothing in HD.
Matrox MXO says it'll do DVI to component (Y, Pb, Pr) all day long for a grand.
I would really like to explore my options at NAB this year, but the client won't wait that long.
And yes, the signage box will play PowerPoint presentations (.ppt files) that look great right now. However, when playing a PP presentation you can not overlay an instant messanging system crawl which is a must for them. This is why the PP must play as an MPEG2 HD file.
Any help is most welcome!
--Bob

Understanding the client wants their own transitions, so there would be a bunch more work. But if you do go this way I would suggest putting a "proxy" clip of the entire show (point a camera at the original PowerPoint playback) on V1, then cover that with your clips and transitions on V2. Should make the timing a lot easier.
But it does seem ridiculous that you should have to do that at all. Maybe a post house can help with a quick translation.

MSAI FX 5600 VTDR DVI out & LCD monitor problem

I'm having problems with the card if I connect my TFT monitor using the DVI out on the graphic card. The problem usually occurs when resuming from standby mode or durring the initial startup of the system.All over the screen i see moving golden dots . This stops when I change resolution. If i connect the monitor using the VGA out everything is fine. I've tried the monitor on different card (gigabyte Ati Radeon 8500 Dvi out) and everything was OK. I've checked the cables and tried different driver.
Is there any sollution for my problem, and second can this do a damage to my monitor.
My system:
