HD Encoding from HDMI/Componet inputs with AVerMedia AVerTVHD DVR

My name is Felix Kolotinsky and I am FAE at AVerMedia Technologies, Inc USA office.
AVerMedia has a product AVerTVHD DVR that works with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.1, AVerTVHD DVR is capable to capture HD quality up to 1080i from build int HDMI, Component YPbPr and Analog from S-Video and Composite.
If you are interested, here is link to product description http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=482
Below is screenshot that I took from FMLE using AVerTVHD DVR, my source was HDMI from Direct TV Set top box, in this case I was encoding in 1080i source into 720x480, you can Encode up to 1080i, however this requires Quad Core CPU
I recorded an instructional video and posted on www.youtube.com, here is link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMF-jkZxeMk
If you are interested, please contact me directly: [email protected] and I will assist you with setup.
We do also have a Professional Capture board, using AVerMedia Driver and Special Software Plug in this Capture board works with Adobe Premiere CS4
Enjoy,
Felix Kolotinsky

Thank you so much for this information. This is exactly what I have been looking for.
I am using Watershed (UStream's white label service) and needed a DirectShow compatible device for Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 that could accept HDMI input and output to USB.
UPDATE: Oops - I need a USB solution, this is PCI.
Thank you for posting!

How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input. Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI. Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

google component hdmi converter
but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all
and will not work with any DRM material as in movies you reant and maybe netflix and the sports thingy

My tv does not have hdmi, it has componet. Is there an adapter for apple tv to go from hdmi to componet?

It could be that it's too old. I have the same problem. Apple has a HDMI to DVI adapter, if you have a DVI input, which is how I connect my Apple TV. But if not here's an adapter for you.

Issue Using C# to Get RTF Text From Clipboard to Outlook With Formatting and Without Encoding Tags

I have created a little application that gathers data from various text boxes and then combines the data into a formatted richTextBox. A person using the tool asked if I could then add a button that would allow that text (with formatting) to be copied
and pasted into an Outlook Email. When I do this, I can get the text into an email, but I either strip out the formatting or I get all the RTF encoding tags to come along with it.
I have tested to see that the copy of the data from the richTextBox has indeed made it to the clipboard correctly. This has been verified by the fact that I can manually press "ctrl" + "v" and I can past the text with proper
formatting into the mail body.
I do know that I can brute force things by trying to manually wrap HTML tags around my textBox fields and then pipe that into an HTMLBody property. In fact I can get a lot of things to work with the HTMLBody property, but while it is nice that will
work, I feel that I must be missing something really simple while trying to work with RTF.
I currently am pasting (using the Clipboard.GetText(TestDataFormat.RTF)) the RTF data into the Body property of the mail item. This is bringing in all the RTF encoding tags. I have tried to paste this directly into the RTFBody of the mail item,
yet an execption gets thrown when executed. Oddly, though, if I change RTFBody to HTMLBody, I do not get the exception, but I still have the RTF encoding tags in it. Though if I feed the HTMLBody property straight, HTML text with the encoding tags,
it will render properly.
This has me confused then why if I feed HTMLBody HTML text with the encoding tags that it will render, but if I try and do the same for RTFBody and feed it RTF text with encoding tags it still throws an exception. Any help in the matter would be greatly
appreciated. I have included the code snippet below for sending the richTextBox information to the clipboard and then attempting to retrieve it and paste it into an Outlook email.
Thanks for the help.
Some pertinent information:
Blend for Visual Studio 2015 CTP6 (I switched from VS2012 as intellisense was added to Blend in 2015)
Because of this Systems.Windows.Forms is not in use
private void buttonEmail_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
//Copy richTextBox information to Clipboard
Clipboard.Clear();
richTextBox.SelectAll();
richTextBox.Copy();
//Get current date to add to email subject line
DateTime myNewDate = new DateTime();
myNewDate = DateTime.Now;
//Create Email
Outlook.Application myNewApplication = new Outlook.Application();
Outlook.MailItem myNewMailIoI = myNewApplication.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) as Outlook.MailItem;
myNewMailIoI.To = " "; //An attempt to ensure that the focus moves down to the body field
myNewMailIoI.Subject = "IoI - " + myNewDate.Date.ToString("d");
myNewMailIoI.BodyFormat = Outlook.OlBodyFormat.olFormatRichText;
//Pasting data into body of email
myNewMailIoI.Body = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Rtf); //This will past the text with encoding tags into email
//If this section is uncommented, it will add a properly formatted HTML text to the email
//myNewMailIoI.BodyFormat = Outlook.OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
//myNewMailIoI.HTMLBody = "This stinks!!!" + "different font and color";
myNewMailIoI.Display(); //Allow for window to be minimized
myNewMailIoI.Display(true);

Ok, I found the solution. Part of the issue was caused by the confusion of the HTML body property acting as a text encoder for HTML text when a string is passed in vs the RTF Body property needing to have a plain text file taken and encoded into a
byte stream. Even though the RTF text is in readable text (albeit with the RTF Encoding Tags) it needs to be reencoded into a series of bytes.
This is where I failed to understand the previous answers. I knew that RTF Body needed to have a array of bytes, and the previous answers seemed to indicate that the data in the clipboard was already in this byte format (this may have just been my
misunderstanding) and that I needed to somehow take this byte array and do something with it. My misunderstanding was that all the methods for getting values from the clipboard returned strings and not bytes.
after some digging last night and with the few hints that were offered before, I came across a post on CodeProject (apparently I cannot post links, so I will try and include this so that you can find the postcodeproject(DOTCOM)/Questions/766917/How-to-convert-richtextbox-output-into-bytearray).
This showed that I needed to take the raw, RTF text with its RTF encoding tags from the clipboard and and encode it to a byte array and then pass this into the RTF Body property. Included below is the final code such that I hope that it helps some other
person as there seem to be a lot of searches for this on the web, but not a lot of direct answers.

Outlook.MailItem myNewMailIoI = myNewApplication.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem) as Outlook.MailItem;
//Add Subject
myNewMailIoI.Subject = "IoI - " + myNewDate.Date.ToString("d");
//Set Body Format to RTF
myNewMailIoI.BodyFormat = Outlook.OlBodyFormat.olFormatRichText;

Record sound from M-Audio Firewire Solo input with S/PDIF

Hey there, I am using a m-audio firewire solo and connect it to my mac mini 2013 with firewire cable. If I try to record sound from my guitar, it is ok, however the sound from S/PDIF input cannot be recorded. I can see the sound signal from the mac input preference, however it just cannot be played or recorded. I have searched through the forum and found some people also have the same problem but just cannot solve it. Does anyone have some idea? Thanks.

Have you selected the correct Input pair in a stereo Logic channel strip? Standard s/pdif is a stereo signal.
Also, the M-Audio device may have to be set to slave mode as the incoming digital signal will have to become the master digital clock for the M-Audio unit.
The M-Audio unit should probably be set to 48kHz, it's doesn't do 96hHz does it?

Ciao.

Sound disappeared from HDMI. MSI message in dmesg.

I use a laptop with slim/xmonad and frequently plug it into my TV and found this to automate the process off setting sound and picture when i plug it in.
Tested it out and seemed to work fine, and now 2 days later, I get no sound from HDMI. PC speaker and headphones work fine and with other PC sound works over HDMI.
I checked and it does change asound.conf when I insert HDMI cable. I don't use a .asoundrc.conf for this user.
/etc/asound.conf
pcm "hw:0,3"
But I still get no sound from system or with:
speaker-test -c 2 -D plughw:0,3
I have checked alsamixer if any channels are muted and also manually restarted alsa with:

I was having the same problem. Here's what worked for me:
Remove the blueray disc from the player.
Reboot the laptop.
Turn on the TV and select it's HDMI input.
Connect the HDMI cable from the TV to the laptop.
The display should transfer to the TV (laptop goes black)
Open the Mediasmart player.
Select DVD
Open "Settings" (the gear symbol)
Click "Audio" tab
Select "HDMI passthrough" and apply.
NOW, put the blueray disc into the drive.
Give it some time to start on it's own.
(Note; If you try to adjust the "settings" with a disc in the drive, or without having the HDMI cable attached, the "HDMI passthrough" will not be shown as an option.)
Now that I follow this procedure, I haven't had any further trouble. The TV plays the audio, not the laptop, and I can use my home theater sound system by taking the "audio out" from the TV and inputting it into my decoder (and turn the TV volume all the way down).
I hope this helps. I was pulling out my hair till I discovered this. Let us know if it works for you.

Detecting character encoding from BLOB stream... (PLSQL)

I'am looking for a procedure/function which can return me the character encoding of a "text/xml/csv/slk" file stored in BLOB..
For example...
I have 4 files in different encodings (UTF8, Utf8BOM, ISO8859_2, Windows1252)...
With java I'can simply detect the character encoding with JuniversalCharDet (http://code.google.com/p/juniversalchardet/)...
thank you

Solved...
On my local PC I have installed Java 1.5.0_00 (because on DB is 1.5.0_10)...
With Jdeveloper I have recompiled source code from:
http://juniversalchardet.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/org/mozilla/universalchardet
http://code.google.com/p/juniversalchardet/
After that I have made a JAR file and uploaded it with loadjava to my database...
C:\>loadjava -grant r_inis_prod -force -schema insurance2 -verbose -thin -user username/password@ip:port:sid chardet.jarAfter that I have done a java procedure and PLSQL wrapper example below:
   public static String verifyEncoding(BLOB p_blob) {
       if (p_blob == null) return "-1";
       try
        InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(p_blob.getBinaryStream());
        UniversalDetector detector = new UniversalDetector(null);
        byte[] buf = new byte[p_blob.getChunkSize()];
        int nread;
        while ((nread = is.read(buf)) > 0 && !detector.isDone()) {
            detector.handleData(buf, 0, nread);
        detector.dataEnd();
        is.close();
       return detector.getDetectedCharset();
       catch(Exception ex) {
           return "-2";
   }as you can see I used -2 for exception and -1 if input blob is null.
then i have made a PLSQL procedure:
function f_preveri_encoding(p_blob in blob) return varchar2 is
language Java name 'Zip.Zip.verifyEncoding(oracle.sql.BLOB) return java.lang.String';After that I have uploaded 2 different txt files in my blob field.. (first one is encoded with UTF-8, second one with WINDOWS-1252)..
example how to call:
declare
   l_blob blob;
   l_encoding varchar2(100);
begin
select vsebina into l_blob from dok_vsebina_dokumenta_blob where id = 401587359 ;
l_encoding := zip_util.f_preveri_encoding(l_blob);
if l_encoding = 'UTF-8' then
   dbms_output.put_line('file is encoded with UTF-8');
elsif l_encoding = 'WINDOWS-1252' then
   dbms_output.put_line('file is encoded with WINDOWS-1252');
else
    dbms_output.put_line('other enc...');
end if;
end;Now I can get encoding from blob and convert it to database encoding and store datas in CLOB field..
Here you have a chardet.jar file if you need this functionality..

Synchronizing two counter frequency inputs with multiple analog inputs

Hello all,
I'm fairly new to LabVIEW and I'm trying to collect data from multiple sources with synchronized timing on the acquisition but I'm having trouble figuring it out. My problem is that I've got two counter frequency inputs, one optical tachometer reading one pulse per revolution, and a max machinery flow meter with a k factor of 12000. I can't seem to figure out how to sync the timing with my multiple analog inputs. I've been attempting to get the tachometer to sync with the analog inputs first by following the example linked here. (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10785) So far each time I run it I either get a timeout error on the DAQmx read or a "Multiple sample clock pulses were detected" error (see attached image). It seems if I slow the sampling rate way down to say 10 hz and ensure that the tachometer signal is over 800-1000 RPM (13-17 Hz) before starting the VI then the program will run without errors until the RPM drops below that threshold then the "Multiple sample clock pulses" error occurs. The code is attached below.
Does anyone know of a more effective way of syncing counter frequency inputs with analog inputs? I'd like to have a VI that can show 0 RPM (and eventually 0 flow as well, but I think I need to figure out the timing of one counter before I add another as it seems I can't have two counters in the same task). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
LabVIEW version 13.0
cDAQ-9178 Chassis with NI 9401 for the two counter inputs and NI 9205 for the analog inputs.
Thanks!

Maybe third times the charm?
So I've finally got a good handle on why the VI is having problems at low RPM though I'm somewhat embarassed how long it took me to do that
Because I have the counter time synced to my Analog input task if it doesn't see at least two pulses between the two clock pulses set by the analog input task I get the -201314 "Multiple sample clock pulses" error. This seems fine at first as it just sets a minimum RPM that I can measure and it's well below the area I'm interested in so no problems there. I tried a simple error handler that would clear the error when it happend assuming the loop would keep iterating until the RPM went above that minimum at which point I would get a signal again. This is not the case, the read function just continues to spit out the -201314 error even after the RPM is back in the readable range. So then I tried adding two case structures so that when the error occured it would stop the task, clear the error, and then start the task again on the next loop iteration (Code Attached). This also doesn't work as the error shows up again on the stop task and then AGAIN on the start task on the next loop iteration. It seems this error is not actually being cleared and once it happens it stays with the task regardless of what the error cluster is carrying.
Anyone have any ideas? The only solution I can think of is to just clear all tasks and recreate them each loop iteration until the RPM is readable again but that strikes me as a horribly clunky solution.

Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
Please and thanks.

Mitch,
I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.

Media Encoder From AP-Pro not working

Hi,
I'm trying to export a premiere pro file, I go through the "export settings" like normal and then "ok", it goes to "exporting data" but then doesn't go anywhere.
Normally it should access the "Adobe Media Encoder" but it does nothing. When I try to access "Adobe media encoder from the programs it comes up with the error message:
"Adobe Media Encoder.exe - Entry Point Not Found" - "The procedure entry point ??0NewHandlerInitializer@ErrorManager@config@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library dvacore.dll".
So I'm guessing it needs reinstalling but where do I get it from? It is not in the Premiere setup files and it's not on the adobe website, only the updates are.
I'm using Windows XP and AP-Pro CS4
Regards,

Just had the same problem. I have had cs2 cs3 and cs4 on the same PC Windows XP Pro.
The exact error message as the o.p. was appearing during export from Premier and when opening Encore.
I was able to resolve this issue after weeks by simply ...
Close all Adobe programs and restart computer.
Go to Windows>Control Panel>Adobe Version Cue CS4
Adobe Version Cue Server window will appear.
Make sure your firewall is not blocking Version Cue or Adobe Updater.
Click Updates tab.
Click "Check for Updates" button.
Adobe Updater will connect with the update server. Click Details.
Checkmark Media Encoder and Photoshop Media Encoder.
Download the latest Adobe Media Encoder updates.
Im finally encoding right now so Im not stopping to look at the update version, lol. but my current version of Media Encoder is now 4.2.0.006

No Native Res with DVI/HDMI but OK with DVI/VGA cable on Loewe 32" LCD

Hi there, I am a little confused about connecting my mini to my Loewe Individual LCD TV and coudl do with some help.
I purchased a DVI to HDMI cable at enormous cost because my experience of DVI versus VGA is like night and day and I wanted to have the best possible connection to my HD TV.
The problem is that when I connect the mini with the DVI/HDMI cable the native resolution of my TV is not available. (1366x768 or thereabouts) The only resolutions to choose from are 1920 x 1080? and 1024 X 768. Using overscan on the 1024 fills the screen correctly but looks all stretched.
Instead I connected with a VGA cable and the correct resolution is automatically detected immediately and there is no problem at all.
I am a little bit confused as to why it works fine with VGA but not with DVI/HDMI. The VGA connection looks OK but why compromise when you shoudln't have to?

First of all, I am far from an expert but as I said, from my experience and after reading a LOT, HDMI cannot support 1366x768, that is why the TV goes without picture if you try. Why? I don't know.
Now, DVI is almost like VGA, both are analog, and can support 1366x768 or 1920x1200. But since you go from DVI output from the Mac Mini to the HDMI cable, screen goes black, blue, etc, res no supported.
That is why some people don't have problems with the powerbook and their HDTV's, and then they try with the DVI-HDMI adaptor (normally with the mac mini) and it's no good.
The thing is, you can get 720p, 1280x720 but with overscan, so with DisplayconfigX you go from:
1280x720 (720p)
128 Front Porch 10
80 Sync 5
200 Back Porch 15
1688 Total 750
to
1240x680
128 Front Porch 19
80 Sync 5
240 Back Porch 38
1688 Total 750
for example, with this setup you get the image cut to a minimum.
As you can see the totals are in both cases 1688 750. As soon as you don't respect this totals, like in this example:
1366x768
28 Front Porch 5
80 Sync 5

your TV won't be able to dispay the image. But with VGA the totals don't matter!!!!, that is why it works with one cable and not with the other.
Apple should update the Intel graphic card drivers, maybe that would help.

Can I use the sub from my Gigaworks 700s with a receiver?

The Sub from this speaker setup with this receiver. Someone said I could purchase a 3.5mm to RCA adapter like this and it MIGHT be possible to connect the 3.5mm to the Subwoofer/Center input on the back of the subwoofer and then try both of the RCA's on the subwoofer output on the back of the receiver. One of the RCA's would be for that center speaker that I will now be hooking up via speaker wire and won't need it via 3.5mm/RCA, and the other RCA plug would be for the speaker, which would hopefully successfully output it from the receiver to the sub. Does anyone know if this could work?

I have the exact same charger, and have been using it without a problem with my new iPhone 4S this week. The wall charger from my Original iPhone 2G also charges it.
