External Video Output (in 32 Gives Me Blank Window

Just Upgraded from Logic 7 on a G5 to Logic 9 running in 32 bit on a New Mac Pro. I have 2 displays attached to the mini ports and when I select external Video Output I get a blank window and the checkbox for External Video Output doesn't stay checked. Also Apple Cinema Desktop (which is what I used to select in Logic 7 and send it to the second monitor) doesn't even show up in the list.
I know there is a problem with this in 64 bit, but it should woulk fine in 32, right?

You'll need a third party i/o device to handle the conversion for you. If you have a MacPro, the Black Magic Intensity cards (at the low end) up to the AJA Kona series cards (at the upper end) will work. Mid way are the Matrox MXO series of external boxes - most of which will work with an expresscard34 capable laptop as well.

External Video Output

Hi,
I'm having trouble sending the image from Color to an external monitor for accurate color balancing. When I go to Video Output pop up menu in the set up preferences, the only option they let me click is "Disabled". It's an HD image to a Sony HDV deck which converts it down to a SD monitor, but IO can do it in Final Cut, so I'm not sure why I can't do it in Color. Any suggestions?

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

Poor External Video Output

I have tried several vga second monitors with my coreduo(1) 2.0ghz iMac, all of which have the same problem: the screen is very dim. So far I have tried a mitsubishi 930SB and an apple studio display 21. These displays look great on on my windows junkbox and my iBook g4 with the display hack but they look as if they are broken on my iMac. I notice the same problem under boot camp and thus I suspect the problem to be rooted in either hardware or firmware. I have been waiting for a firmware fix for this that has not yet come. Any ideas?

Do you have a calibrator or have you adjusted the display brightness. No two monitors have the same settings. Learn more at my blog. Jon

Video Output for Musical on new Macbook Air

Doing first production of a musical.
I'm thinking of buying Logic Pro 9 to control the output of recorded audio and video for the show (as well as to compose a few extra pieces).
The features page on the Apple site says: Logic can let you view synchronized QuickTime movies on a separate monitor using output options like Digital Cinema Desktop.
http://www.apple.com/logicpro/top-features/
The Tech Specs page on the Apple site says: External video output via FireWire or DVCPRO HD.
http://www.apple.com/se/logicpro/specs/
I've bought a brand spanking new Macbook Air which has a Thunderbolt and two USB ports.
Would I be able to use Logic on my Macbook Air to output my video? (I was thinking I would do it to a projector either through WiFi or a (yellow) composite cable.)
(The alternative I was thinking of was to use MuseScore to enter the notation for the extra pieces. Garageband for the audio output (it's missing a few instruments [e.g. clarinet, xylophone]) and plain old Quicktime for the video output.
Thanks!
John

What do you need to get video output to external monitor

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Color and have read a few posts that color can't be viewed by firewire to an external monitor. Basically what I have right now for external viewing in FCP is a JVC SR-VS30 Mini DV NTSC deck with firewire connected to my computer. From the deck it goes to a small TV set and a Sony Trinitron PVM color video monitor. What do I need extra to be able to see my color correction in Color on an external monitor. BTW in Color currently the Video Output tab in Setup>User Prefs is grayed out showing Disabled. I suppose that when I get whatever I need to see Color on an external monitor that this tab would NOT be grayed out or would I have to set some other settings.
Thanks.

Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.

External Video: Is dual output possible?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a way to get Final Cut to send external video to more than one source at a time? Like, for example, through the Digital Cinema Desktop Preview & a Blackmagic card at once.
Sorry for the odd question, it's a suite setup my boss is working on. I'd be very grateful for a yay or a nay.

You can't do DCP and output to a capture card at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. BUT, the capture card can send the signal to more than one device...so SDI to one, Composite to another, HDMI to another...

External monitor: problem to enable video output

Hello,
I try to use an external monitor.
I usually use it by a camcorder and a Firewire PAL in FCP without any problem.
In Color, if I go in User preferences, Video output is set on disabled and the others (for example Digital Cinema preview or Firewire Pal) are all gray and I cannot set them.
Thank you for your help.

Luca,
Please refer to the included documentation. Color does not and will not send external video through firewire to any device, save one, and that is the Aja IO HD and then that device is limited to standard definition video only.
This "issue" has also been well covered in this and other forums: you need an input/output card manufactured by [Aja|http://www.aja.com/html/products_macintosh.html] or by [Blackmagic Designs|http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products>.

Cannot find my Satellite L350-10H - external video full HD output

Hello Everybody.
I have a problem with my satellite L350-10H when I try to attach a second external monitor in full HD.
In fact Im only able to duplicate my Notebook Display with the same resolution (1440 x 900).
The System don't allow me to set a Full HD Resolution for my Samsung External Monitor.
I don't think can be a limitation of the Chipset because I can do that with all my oldest notebook I have at Home.
Now the strange thing is that when I try to search for a driver in the Toshiba website, my model just don't exist !!!
I put the serial number and the website don't recognize the model, then in the list this model don't exist.
It is: *TOSHIBA SATELLITE L350-10H* - OS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
Someone have also this model? How I can attach a full hd monitor?

Hi
First of all, if you would take a look on the Toshiab European driver page, then you will notice that the driver search form does not contain any sub model numbers but series numbers this means you have to check the model number and then could find the right drivers.
As far as I know the notebook Sat L350-10H belongs to PSLD0E series.
You can find the drivers for this notebook if you would choose L350 PSLD0E.
Easy. Isnt it?
Now back to your video output;
As far as I know there is a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset.
Ive got the same chipset and I can use the external monitor perfectly.
But I have installed the Intel graphic card driver in fact the preinstalled driver on my notebook didnt contain some resolutions
Therefore I recommend checking the Intel page and to download and install the driver for Mobile Intel GL960 chipset.
After new reboot you should check if you could choose the resolution.

No video output to ext monitor in rehearsal mode

(My whole presentation is made up of video and stills)
Hi, when I'm in rehearsal mode (Keynote 6.5.2) i cannot get full screen video output to my ext monitor. It is only a black screen. In 'play mode' the presentation plays fine and it will give me full screen video but then i have no control of the presentation as it just plays out to the length of the clips used in each slide. I managed to save as a Powerpoint presentation which allowed me to use the play function and control it manually but i could not see the current slide playing in the presenter display. It also wiped all my trimming settings of the videos i am using.
Is there a way to run my presentation in rehearsal mode and have full screen video outputed to an external monitor and see my current slide playing on my presenter display.
My whole presentation is video and stills.
I am using an iMac, 2.9GHz i5, 8GB Ram, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
Thanks in advance
Jason

if i use an iPad to control it gives me full control to advance on click
Please clarify;   you use the iPad remote control feature to advance manually a presentation on your Mac, or you are playing the presentation on your iPad.
Did you create the presentation on the Mac yourself and what version of Keynote did you use?
Try this test:
create a new blank presentation then drag and drop (do not copy and paste) four slides on to the navigator panel in the blank presentation
the Navigator panel is the view of slides in a column on the left hand side of the canvas.
check the settings are set for manual play as I described before:
Inspector > Document > Document > Presentation Type:     change to Normal
select all the slides in the navigator then;    Inspector > Animate > Start Transition:     change to On Click
click the video on the slide then;     Inspector > Animate > Build In > build order button > change drop down menu to: on click
if the presentation plays manually, drag and drop the remaining slides over.

HD video output on TiBook?

Is there any way to get my TiBook 400 MHz (15 inch) to output at HD resolutions? I just bought a new 1080p HDTV, and I can output using S-video to the TV', but then the resolution on the big screen TV looks crappy.
My TiBook also has a VGA port, and I've output to projectors to give presentations many times. . . but there is not VGA input on my HDTV. . . only composite video (ie: non-HD), S-video (same), component (HD), or HDMI.
Is there such a thing as a VGA to HDMI (or component) adapter? And, if I were to use it, would my I be able to get High-def resolutions on my HDTV from my TiBook?
Thanks.

Hi, dgalvan. No, your old Powerbook doesn't have any digital video output capability, and its 8MB of VRAM can't support 24-bit color at any resolution higher than 1280 x 960 on an external monitor or TV, regardless of how it's connected.
EDIT: However, you do have one of the only PB G4 models whose video can be upgraded with a CardBus add-on. For somewhat more than your Powerbook is worth, you can add a DVI port to it and increase its maximum output resolution to the HD level. I can't help you with any of the details or side issues (notably how to get audio to the TV) because I don't know diddly about HDTV.

Ibook video output

does the video adapter for current ibooks require that the tv you are connecting to has an s-video connection? if so, is there any other kind of cable/accessory available that will give you either an av or scart connection - like the video adapter for the older ibooks does?
thanks

That is incorrect. The iBook G4 specifications indicate
VGA video output for video mirroring on an external display or projector (24-bit color) with included Apple VGA Display Adapter.
S-video and composite video output to TV or projector (requires Apple Video Adapter, sold separately)
You only need the Apple Video Adapter M9109G/A. Also see KB 88396, iBook video output cables/adapters and resolutions.

FCP + Motion: sharing Firewire video output

When developing in both FCP and Motion, I am using the Firewire video output to view my work on an external monitor.
This works fine when I work in each program separately.
But, when I have both programs simultaneously open and drag a Motion project directly into FCP, FCP gives me the error telling me that the Firewire video output is already being used for Motion.
Is there a way to seamlessly switch the Firewire output between the two programs when both programs are running concurrently?
My only solution now is to save the Motion project; close Motion; open FCP; and import the Motion project into FCP.
Is there a better way?
Thanks, in advance, for any ideas.

After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component????

Hello,
I was wondering why this warning is coming up every time I open After Effects-
(After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.)
It also reappears every time I go to a different program then back into After Effects.
I am currently on a-
MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.5
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
After Effects CS3
Quicktime 7.5.5
GeForce 8600M GT
2 external storage drives (Western Digital, Lacie)
Matrox MX02
I just upgraded quicktime and this started appearing.
ANY IDEAS.

Sorry,
Here;s another. I have Quicktime Pro installed. I have CS3 installed. I also have AE v7 which runs a few plugins I am still thinking work in v7. CS3 runs OK but in version 7 it gives me the "Couldn't open Quicktime Video Output Component " notice. I had a client working in v7 so I tried to work in v7, it was a bad idea. I lost days of work and finally just went to CS3 to get the job done but couldn't use one anothers files between versions.
What can I do to get the AE v7 Couldn't open Quicktime video output component fixed. Make it simple if you can... I'm an artist.
Thanks

Video output separate from screen

This may be more complicated than I suspect. We have had a string of thiefts from my office lately. The thieves are only taking things they can fit in their pockets, loose change, digital cameras, digital video cameras, stuff like that. My iMac is always on and running in screen saver mode. I'd like to have the imac camera signal being fed to my Security DVR device, while the screen saver is still running. I can get the signal to my DVR via the video output, but of course it only show what I see on the primary display. Can I separate those two video signals and capture what the camera see's while the screen saver is on?
Thank you,
Todd

Have you tried using *extended desktop mode* and setting the external display (ie your DVR) as the primary display? That would make your iMac display the secondary display and provided you don't drag any windows onto it, it should only show a blank screen.
You will need to have a separate display connected to your DVR so you can see things to set it up once you switch the iMac into extended desktop mode & set the external display as your primary display
You do this in +System Prefs > Displays+ but the controls for the external display only appear when you have an external display connected. You start extended desktop mode by UNchecking the mirror displays item. Once you are sure everything is working correctly, you could turn off the external display while your DVR continues to record.
