External video monitor not supported?

I started to use color APP just recent and soon found out that Color does not support live preview to my external video monitor via Firewire, I have 2 devices to choose, DSR11 or a DAC 10 ( DV Converter ), firewire to Component.
I hope that Apple resolve this issue fairly quick, many color users like me that don't have an IO card like AJ Kona or Decklink, color will be useless without an external video monitor for color correction.
Any input will be appreciated.

Because of the reduced colorspace required for DV, I'd wager it's unlikely that Color will ever be made to go out via FireWire to a DV deck or DAC.
Decklink Intensity - $249 or $399? is a potential alternative...

External Video Monitor Not an Option for Simulator

In the preferences pane for simulator Playback Output options, I am only able to simulate in the simulator window. It doesn't even give me the option to select any external video devices, even when plugged in (and detectable by other programs like FCP). I've even reinstalled DVD Studio Pro 4.02 and it hasn't solved the problem. Help anyone?

Hey, Aldershot. Glad it helped.
it still baffles me that with almost all the other so called Pro Apps manage to have broadcast monitor support
The problem is that Apple is really innovating with OpenGL, and this bring a lot of benefits but also some inconveniences. Notice that Motion's frame rate falls to half when you enable video out with a Decklink, AJA or even Firewire DV. And in DVD SP you have this limitation. Looks like routing the signal from AGP to PCI is the problem.
But going out through s-video!!!! yeah lets just through all our hard work out the window.
Please don't take this as I pretenend to know it all, but you know what? IMHO, Super video is really underrated. It's much closer to Component than it is to Composite. For a lot of professionals, myself included,it wouldn't be that easy to tell Y/C appart from Component, while the difference from either to Composite is gigantic
We need to view this in true RGB space.
Actually, it is RGB What it probably isn't is YUV. But it is probably more reliable as a preview than Firewire DV, for the reasons I explained in the previous message.
I know is a compromise solution. For me, the worst part is that you either loose a second computer display or have to buy a new AGP card with a separate Super video output.
All the best.

Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

HT3413 can I connect my new 15" macbook pro to 2 external video monitors?

can I connect my new 15" macbook pro to 2 external video monitors?

Not without an adaptor such as those from Matrox.

External Video Monitor with iMac possible.

Dear friends,
recently i have bought one imac 21.5" mid 2010 model. i am a film maker. i make TVC s, corporate docu, docu and short films. previously i worked hiring differnt post production studios but with growing volume of work i there was need for a personal edit setup. i have FC Studio 7 installed in my imav. i wanted to connect one external video monitor to facilitate the edit work flow. 1st i bought and connected a mini dp to vga adaptor and connected my 6 series samsung lcd tv with it. but the result was not satisfactory. now the lcd tv have become the second monitor and the system was working as dual monitor system. i wanted 1 video monitor as we get in pro studios. then i bought 1 mini dp to HDMI adapotor and connected it with the lcd tv throgh HDMI cable. fantastic. system took it automatically. Now i opened FCP, set a/v display to full screen, audio out to HDMI then view>external video>full frame. and u are through. now yuo can see the time line output in the LCD tv with sync audio. cheers. any better way to calibrate the second monitor?

Thanks a lot for your help.
If i consider an old model, maybe one with a DisplayPort input (late 2009 or mid 2010 iMac), is there a chance to connect the card with the DP input with a simple cable, or to verify the compatibility? The card has a DP output but many articles say that screen flickering or blue screen is the result...

Andrea

Frozen when view on external video monitor HELP

Hi everyone, I have just finished my biggest project in 3 months. Thankx for all your helps & I love the MULTICAM feature very much.
Now i'm on the second project. This project was shot on DigiBeta PAL.
To make it short: does anyone has a frozen picture as they play it out to the external video monitor for the uncompress 10bit file?
3months ago when I digitized in as uncompress 10bit , fcp play out to external monitor FINE, including the multicam feature.
However, since I need to work with 10cam at the same time, I have to capture in as DV (my source was DVCAM) so fcp can play all 10cam in multiclip mode. everything went perfect.
TOday, I capture my sources both NTSC & PAL, they can only play in the mac monitor but not the external video monitor. feeding out to external monitor make the clips freeze. the picture is frozen but the audio still playing.
My drives are fast enough since we had been working with these MEDEA drives for years.
thank you so much.

thankx for all your helps but I had tried all those before I post the question. I'm no newbie. It must be FCP's bug. I trashed the pref & select 8bit instead of 10bit for viewing, & it play ok for single clip. On multiclip, it shutter alittle bit. Maybe I need to reinstall fcp. Don't know yet.
thankx

Video mode not supported - after installing Lion

Hi All,
I installed the new Lion OS on my Mac Mini, all went great and clean.
But,
after 2 days of playing with the new OS cool new features I shutdown the Mac Mini and a day later when I started it my TV (Philips HDMI) could not recognized the video format and a message from my TV said "Video Mode Not Support" (I use the HDMI output to an HDMI port on my TV)
I went to my apple reseler and they reset my PRAM.
When I plugged it again at home it was working again.
Then I restarted it to check all is good... and again "Video Mode Not Supported"
It never happen with OS X Snow leopard. so I guess something is not working as it need to on the new Lion version.
I'm not sure if there is a workaround until Apple will release a fix but if someone know how to fix it, ill be happy to know...
thanks
the hard part is that I dont have a wired keyboard or another display so I must go to Apple to get it solve each time it happens

Hi Markus.
Im trying the update software once in a while but still nothing... I'm keeping my MacMini up and runing cus I know that if i will shout it down it will not come back with the right display driver.
anyhow, it did happend once that I shut it down and then it didnt work again after it came back on, so I played with it a little, i took it out of the power outlet and try a few clicks on startup like alt ctrl P and R and cmd + F1 and few other thing and after a few tries it did work... I have now idea why and what actually made it work again but one thing I can say its that the new Lion version have anything it needs in order to work curectly the problem is that somewhere along the startup process (and now im gussing) the OS select a wrong driver for the attached display (in our case Philips) and send a video format to the display that cant be recognaized by the display.
I realy hope pple will issue a fix to this problem soon!! cus in adition to that I have some zoom issues too which im not sure where it is coming from and if it have to do with our issue.
Anyway we all hope it will be solve soon.
Have a good one... Eran

Setting Up an External Video Monitor

Hello All,
Fairly well versed amateur here, but still with large gaps of knowledge, as you will see. I have been working on projects that were exclusively intended to be presented on the web, but I had someone ask me to produce a commercial that will be aired on local tv. So in making my best effort towards this I want to be able to use an external video monitor to insure that the commercial looks good on tv (color correction, etc). I use Final Cut to edit on my iMac. Everything I have read says to connect my computer via Firewire to a camera or deck, then connect the camera/deck to the monitor, however my iMac has only one Firewire port and I am using that for my scratch disk. So...anyone have a suggestion to overcome this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Marc

Firewire out to a TV only works if you are editing DV.
Having said that, firewire devices do daisy chain.
This is how to set it up on the assumption that your hard drive has two firewire ports -
• Connect your camera or dedicated DV to Analog converter via firewire to the hard drive
• Connect a TV to your DV>Analog converter
• Set up the camera or DV>Analog converter to take the DV input and output an analog signal. (read your camera manual if you've never done this before)
• Set up FCE to play the video out via firewire
Several caveats -
Unless your TV is a calibrated broadcast quality monitor, you will be guessing at colors.
You need to look at the scopes to make sure your whites and vibrant colors are within spec (ask the station for their spec sheet)
If this is public access, they have a pretty wide lattitude. If this a standard broadcast channel, the spot may get kicked back to you if it doesn't meet their more tightly controlled limits. If that's the case, you may need to find someone nearby who has an understanding of what constitutes a broadcast standard to help you.
Good luck.

Video format not supported error

video format not supported error help

You get the error message when you try to sync your MOV / M4V / MP4 files from your iTunes to your iPad? The files are playable in iTunes?
Then, you'll need to change their so-called H.264 level to 4.1 or below. If you have a Mac, you'll need to use Subler. See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/watching-videos-taken-max-roundup-mkv-mp4m4v-v ideo-converters for a complete tutorial; start at the paragraph starting with "After this, it's worth clicking the video track in the upper list if you want to play the video back in the stock Videos app on your iDevice and not in a third-party one".
The background explanation for all this is to be found at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/making-stock-videos-application-play-every-mp4 -files-possible . Note that it uses other, more akward utilities to do the level fixing. Again, if you have a Mac, Subler is your friend.

I've been trying to use my Amazon Prime instant video on my Iphone 5 and Ipod but each I'm using a proxy server therefore video is not supported what can I do to alleviate this problem

I've been trying to use my Amazon Prime instant video on my Iphone 5 and Ipod but each I'm using a proxy server therefore video is not supported what can I do to alleviate this problem

Are you a 100% sure??? Because I'm definitely given the option to do this and there are even downloads to this effect, i.e. iPhone 3G ios 6.0. I am even given this option when I plug my iPhone into iTunes. The only problem I'm having is what I have mentioned above.

Enable External Video Monitoring

I'm trying to output from the time line via fire wire to an external DVD recorder.
According to the info I have, I'm supposed to "enable external video monitoring."
How do I do that? Where is it in the FCE menu?

Are you sure you DVD recorder will accept input from an editing program. Most of the firewire enabled consumer ones I know of will only work with material dubbed directly from a DV tape camera.

Video format not supported .mov file

I exported a slideshow from iphoto to quicktime with the following settings:
1) Export: Custom Export: Movie to Quicktime
Kind: Quicktime movie file Channels:stereo
size: 200.2 MB Total Bit Rate: 8268 kbps
Bit Rate: 1378 bps Video Dimensions: 1280x720
Video Codec: H.264
It exports to iTunes, but does not sync to the ipad (video format not supported)
What is the best setting so I can get the highest quality?

In looking at the videos that I have, all of which work on my iPad, the ones which I purchased through the iTunes Store are Low Complexity with bit rates of 128 kbps. The ones that I converted by HandBrake for iOS devices are Low Complexity and 159 kbps. All of them are around 850 x 480, H.264.

Once-playable videos suddenly "not supported"

A 30G video iPod that had been playing videos downloaded from iTunes (Disney shorts and TV shows) as well as home videos, suddenly announced that all these videos are "not supported". iTunes will no longer update the iPod with these videos and shows the iPod video menu as blank.
In looking through the forum, other people are having this problem as well. Some responses have suggested re-formatting the videos. I would prefer not to re-format dozens of videos. Also, what is to say this will not happen again?
Does anyone know why this has happened in the first place, and if there is a way to get the iPod to recognize the videos as it once did?
I already tried a Restore--no change.
Thanks!

The only way to find out would be trying another Apple USB cable. If you can, visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place and let them have a look at the phone.

External video monitor kills wifi network link under Windows 7

I have a 2010 15 inch Macbook Pro; when I plug in the external monitor with the display port under Mac OS Lion, I have no problem getting access to my wireless local network or any network. When I switch to Windows 7 thorugh bootcamp, I can get access without plugging in the external video cable. I plug the external monitor, it kills my airport card and no access to the wifi. I have remove the external monitor to gain access to the wireless network. Windows 7 is up-to-date and the same thing for bootcamp. Also I have a Star-tech dvi usb switch.
So what gives? Star-tech dvi switich or it a Microsoft Windows 7 issue

Maybe this will help. Notice the bullet addressing external monitors. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1365
