Edit and send to a external monitor

How do I send a project I have just edit on final cut pro to a external monitor via VGA or Composite.
I would like to use this as a on the fly playback source. Thanks

Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

  • Force OS X to send output on external monitor

    Hi.
    I just got a new Macbook Pro and wanted to use it with my Apple Cinema HD 23"-display, but I got
    some problem. For a couple of months ago the cable to my Apple Cinema was damaged and I had
    to solder it togheter. It worked perfectly with my PC but when I now try to connect it to my macbook
    it isn't recognized by OS X.
    My question is now if it is possible to force os x to recognize this external monitor? I use a minidisplay->DVI-adapter.
    Edit: If someone have the correct pinouts for the Apple Cinema 23" it would have been great, since I suppose there is some problem with my soldering.

    Okay. The sad part is that the monitor works with my PC (Which do not need to identify it before use)...
    It's just the cable which is damaged, not the display itself. A pinout of the cable would be great, or a url where to buy a new one .

  • Mac not sending signal to external monitor

    Hi, I have a 2010 Macbook pro and I'm trying to use my acer monitor as an external for additional desktop space. I've done it before (about a year ago) and it worked perfectly fine, but for some reason when I plug in the cable (it's a DVI) it just lights up my monitor which says no signal, and the mac screen turns blue (as if it were going to readjust the screen for another monitor), but then it just goes back to the normal desktop. I can't move the mouse off screen and the monitor displays nothing. Any ideas?

    Sorry I couldn't figure out how to edit the above, but I forgot to mention that after unplugging and plugging it in several times I actually got the monitor to work and display things and I dragged some stuff over to it, but there was a dialogue box about displays I couldn't close and when i clicked "detect monitors" it ended up shutting it down again and I haven't seen it work since.

  • Lion and Multi-Display (2 external monitors + built-in Display) [Thunderbolt, USB adapters/eVGA UV+]

    Hi everyone,
    I just completed an upgrade to Lion and while I love it I've suddenly found myself short 1 display. I use 2x24" with my MacBook Pro - 1 via mini Display Port [the Thunderbolt port] and another via an eVGA UV+ [both displays have a resolution of 1920x1080].
    There are two things that I am wondering about:
    Has anyone else who's upgraded found their UV+ adapter to be useless all of the sudden? I'm contacting eVGA to find out how soon we can expect a functional OSX 10.7 Lion driver for that but in the meantime...
    Has anyone heard anything of a Thunderbolt splitter "adapter" - it is obvious that you can have 2 displays chained to a MacBook Pro, as long as both of these displays are of the Thunderbolt Cinema Display variety ... seeing as I don't have two grand and already own 2 smaller monitors that I'd been using with Snow Leopard for quite some time now I was curious if there's just a way to ditch the USB adapter and just have the Thunderbolt port on my 2011 MBP drive both displays (I am fully aware that the GPU is capable of it but have yet to find a hardware display port or thunderbolt cable that splits in 2 so I can just hook each display into it and call it a day).
    Thank in advance to anyone and everyone who provides any information related to that stuff as I'd greatly appreciate your help ... once you're used to the extra screen real estate going down from 3 screens to 2 can be pretty painful.
    On that same note a general observation about Lion is that while I love full-screen apps I'll barely ever use them whenever I have external displays hooked up as Lion seems to insist on making the full screen app go to the primary display while completely blocking off the secondary display (rendering it useless). Hoping that Apple will make the UX for mulit-display folks nicer someday, I know their focus was just to release Lion now but there's absolutely room for improvement as far as that goes.
    Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who responds to this post!

    Turns out that's not truly the case - see http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/16/apple-thunderbolt-display-with-multiple-moni tors/ for details but the short of it is that if you just get one and plug in a Display Port Monitor you won't get that extra screen real estate after all.
    Yes... the actual marketing 'statement' says you are unable to connect the mDP display "directly" to the back of the new TB display.  Yes...
    But... from what i hear...  if you have some other TB display "directly" connected to the downstream of the TB display, you can 'then' add your older mDP display to the chain at that point.  You just can't have the older mDP directly to the new TB display.
    And this still stands true if you read previous info from Apple website.  It's all about the wording...
    So basically, you should still be able to have your MBPro + New TB display + (some other TB device w/ 2 ports) + old mDP display.

  • Does the mini displayport able to transfer audio and video to an external monitor (example: a tv) using a 2011 13" MacBook Pro with an hdmi cable?

    I was wondering this, because I want to hook up my 2011 MacBook Pro to a external monitor (TV) using an hdmi cable.  This would be heplful before I buy a mini displayport to hdmi adapter, and then maybe find out that the mini displayport might not transfer audio, only video.

    Yes, min Displayport supports audio and video for the 2011 MBP 13" via HDMI.

  • Wireless logging on and off, noise on external monitor

    Hi
    I got a new W510 3 weeks ago and allready from day 1 there was some problems.
    The wireless would say it had internet but when you opened explorer it couldnt open the pages. Then after a windows repair network for the 3rd time it seemed to work...
    But now it works sometime but when i need to load a new page it just hangs, and need to wait 20 sec. until it reacts and opens the site. I have a 5 year old laptop which doesnt hang on the same router... I have allready turned off everything about battery saving stuff for the wireless card. What else can i do?
    Then when i attach the computer to a external 21,5" Samsung LED monitor there is huge amount of noise. And when i attach the monitor to my old laptop there isnt any. I have tried to use ground for the power supply and didnt work. The problem is both at battery and when i have the power supply plugged in. The monitor have VGA plug so there are not any converters...
    What should i do?

    Hi, firetiger.... i have the EXACT same problem!!! i have the same Macbook aluminum unibody screen also. I have no idea how to fix it. I'm also out of warranty and i've tried everything... resetting the pram, trying to restart in safe mode, trying to boot from a cd... .NOTHING WORKS!!! i can still control brightness itself but ive never tried attaching to an external monitor. I know everything is loaded correctly... i just don't know whats wrong. If you have any ideas.. please let me know. Also, I think apple will fix the macbook pros with a similar issue for free http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 but i know this doesnt apply for me. hopefully they work something out because I really love that computer!!!

  • Macbook Chirps and clicks when using external monitor

    My mid 2010 Macbook Pro makes chirping and clicking noises from the hard drive however it only happens when I have my external monitor hooked up. Any one have any idea why? It is different from the Motion sensor click. I've found all over the net that others are experiancing this issue (not connected to external monitor) however haven't I haven't seen a conclusion.  Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Here is a video I just recorded of it  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZAc9o3Z4Dc

    Hello everyone!
    I found this topic which took my attention as I've been having the same issue for some time..
    Please excuse my bad english, I'm italian... but I'll try to point everything up the best I can.
    Every time I hooked up my macbook pro 13" mid 2010 to the external monitor/TV. I started to hear my hard disk chirping and clicking...
    That was worrying me a lot, thinking my hard disk was going to abandon me soon....
    But I finally came to a solution!!
    Well.. not really a solution, but certainly a workaround.
    In my case my Mac is lying on the side of a 46" Led TV which I use also as a monitor for it, hooked up via HDMI cable and HDMI-MiniDV out Hama adapter. I was using a wifi connection.
    Then I thought "could it be the wifi antenna disturbing the hard disk when the mac is closed?"
    I connected my mac via LAN cable to the router, turned off the wifi, and... my Mac is now quiet as a frozen lake (and a lot faster too)!! ;D
    Please let me know if that works for you too.
    Cheers!

  • Modify control record and send out to external (TAMA) system using ALE

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario to send idoc from ECC 5.0 to 3.1R/3 and then to TAMA system (external system-through TRFC)
    In the inbound process code of 3.1R/3, I have to write a custom FM to modify the control record and point to TAMA system and then send it out to TAMA system.
    Has anybody got idea about this and what function module need to use for modifying the control record and send it out. Any help is really appreciated
    Thanks
    Ricky

    Hi Ricky,
    To access IDoc data and modify it in your custom FM, you could investigate the following FM's:
    EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_PROCESS
    EDI_SEGMENTS_GET_ALL
    They should allow you to access the EDIDD, EDIDC tables.
    The IDoc related functions are contained in the function group EDI1, it may be helpful to start from there.

  • GPU acceleration fix for Dell Intel and Nvidia chipsets with external monitor?

    I have a Dell XPS laptop with both integrated Intel chips and Nvidia chips and I can only get the GPU acceleration to work when I don't have any external monitors plugged in.
    Is there some way I can get Illustrator to enable the Nvidia GPU and stop being confused by multiple chipsets on external monitors? I really like the live zoom.

    same problem here,
    'm getting a little frustrated trying to get my laptop working with my LG DLP 3D ready projector to display in 3D. The projector itself will work in 3D as long as the resolution is 1024x768@120hz and the laptop's NVidia GTX 770M should have no issues driving the projector with this resolution.
    Where it seems like the problems occur is Intel HD 4600 graphics driver gets in the way every time i try to run anything 3D, the software Im using to run any 3D type files do not recognize the projector as a 3D capable device because all the laptop is using is the Intel HD 4600 graphics.
    If I could somehow turn off the Intel graphics and just force the laptop to just use the NVidia card I think all my issues will go away. I just am not having success in doing this.
    I have tried to go into the NVidia control panel and under 3D settings pick the software program that runs my 3D files and tell it to use the NVidia card...but it never works.
    I think everything is sent through the Intel graphics card regardless if the laptop is using the NVidia card (just guessing here)?
    I also tried to simply uninstall the drivers but that did not work,
    I also tried to disable the Intel graphics but it then went into some type of generic display driver mode and still would not work.
    I also went into the BIOS to look for any settings that would allow me to disable the Intel graphics card ..no luck, could not find any settings for this.
    Can someone help me with this? how can I disable the Intel graphics and force the laptop to just use the NVidia card all the time?
    Thanks!!

  • T440s and Ultradock Pro - 3 external monitors?

    Does the T440s support 3 external monitors when connected through the Ultradock Pro?
    If not, does any Thinkpad model support 3 monitors when connected through the appropriate dock?

    yes it does - 1 VGA and then DVI / Displayport.
    I'm having some issues with it not working right - but I think it's just driver issues (works - but when you un-dock or if ht emachine goes to the sleep the monitors will not come back on without a reboot.

  • Mac powerbook g4 15" Auminum, on startup has a black screen and no signal to external monitor

    Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz 15" Aluminum
    After watching a dvd, I turned the laptop off and closed the lid before the screen was completely dark. I also forgot to take the dvd out. The next day I get a start up chime and a black screen. Will not work with external monitor. Will not let me do pram reset as I couldn't see the picture anyway. Hard drive appears to be fine. I tried swapping the two ram modules. Took the lower one out and still no results. My main question is, before I just geek out and put a new logic board in, what are the possible loose connection  (cables) causes?

    This issue is not unfamiliar among PowerPC G4 users, in desktop or portable models.
    The cause may vary and so when looking through incidents of a similar nature, try to
    be patient and get past duplicate-sounding experiences as referenced by the sources.
    There are more than a few in this search thread that sound like your situation:
    https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=powerbook+g4+black+screen+on+startup
    Depending on the PowerBook model, some have clock battery/capacitor on logic board
    that once it fails, there can be startup issues as a result... So that's one to check. And
    then there are the connections that may have come loose on the logic board, over years
    of handling and small movement, these could finally have failed to contact finally. Or the
    DC-in Board may have chosen to fail, so power may be unable to get past a circuit.
    Troubleshooting based on a few symptoms can be... troublesome, tedious; or costly.
    The iFixit.com guides have sections where people asked questions, such as:
    https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/131619/PowerBook+g4+has+startup+chime+no+ima ge
    The keyboard shortcuts to attempt to force a computer to start may be of no avail if
    the hardware has defects, or if wires have come off their necessary junctions inside.
    If you have time and some money, companies who specialize in repairing Apple
    portable computers could restore its function & warranty their work. wegenermedia
    is worth contacting if the computer is one you want to keep around while. They did
    a repair for me on one of my Apple portables, and I'd probably go that route again.
    So, anyway, if the unit uses a clock or PRAM battery, it may need replacement.
    Or in another direction, issue could be a power related circuit failure; or worse.
    There are graphic display components that fail at a point where an external &
    internal display both won't light up. These are mapped out in iFixit guides or in
    others online, depending on the model G4 PowerBook they show.
    Good luck & happy computing!
