HDTV Digital Compatability

First off, I am fairly upset with nVidia so far on this issue. It's definately no fault of MSI, however I figure I might aswell see if anyone around here has tried this out.
I recently bought a 32" Sharp Aquos LCD TV for my entertainment setup. I've got my PC hooked up to it with a DVD-HDMI cable, and the cable box hooked up with the component cables. The screen is a 1366x768 panel, however running native resolution appears to be impossible. That's a problem for Sharp though, not you guys.
The big problem is that now when I have SLI enabled on my 6800's, every game I've tried just locks up as soon as it tries to output any video. I've played around with the settings a bit, but have yet to find a way to make it work. I'm running the newest nVidia drivers from nVidia themselves, however they have told me they do not support their own products.
Has anyone had similar experiences or heard of anything like this? I can't imagine that I'm the only person that has a HDTV and wants to hook up a SLI-enabled machine to it for gaming.
Thanks for the input.

Routing HDTV Sound to Home Theatre Sound Sound

Please confirm that the optimum cabling to obtain "5.1 surround sound" from my Samsung LN650 HDTV TV source is using a digital optical cable? I can use dig optical or a coax connection. I assume I route this cable from my HDTV digital optical output to my receiver (Pioneer VSX-1019AH) optical input?
Currently TV audio only comes out thru HDTV speakers.
Based I what I have read, I believe once I put this connection in, all I have to do is select the appropriate "source" on my receiver (in this case TV)?
Existing routing on my system is as follows:
Coax from Antenna to HDTV Antenna Input.
HDMI Cable output from Receiver to HDTV HDMI input.
Thanks
PS. My Sony BD BDP 350S is routed to receiver via HDMI cable and I get surround sound from BD when I select BD as source on receiver..

If I understand what you are saying then yes you are correct. If you want the sound from your tv to come out of your home theatre amplifier run an optical caple from the TV out to one of the inputs on your receiver. Then select that source when you want to listen to the tv. In order to get 5.1 sound though the program source will have to be broadcast in dolby digital. Other wise it will most likely be dolby pro logig or stereo depending on how your receiver is set up.
It will probably also output sound for your blu ray player as well through the tv because hdmi carries audio to your tv. However the best possible sound will come from hooking the hdmi cable directly up to your receiver and selecting that source during dvd playback. Which is the way you have it if I understand correctly.

Dual Monitors w/ Macbook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro and would like to setup Dual Monitors. I have done a lot of research and really need an answer for this. I understand there are numerous ways to setup two external monitors, but I am looking for the solution that allows the computer to recognize both monitors as separate monitors. I am connecting to a 42" Panasonic Viera and a 23" Samsung SyncMaster. The TV is HDMI and the Samsung is DVI. I have looked at the Matrox Dualhead2go and cannot find if it is able to send separate signals, instead of turning both monitors into one huge monitor. Are there any solutions that anyone knows of? I know I can use a USB video card, but they are graphically inferior and that is not acceptable for my line of work (music production, sound design, film mixing). Any ideas?

Yu can use a Magma ExpressBox

ITV: end of the mini ?

I thought the best way to build a Home Theatre was to hook a Mac mini to an HDTV, digitally of course, and with WiFi internet connection. That's also what I did. Now what? Should I take the mini back to the "office", buy an iTV, then connect it to the mini via AirPort? What would be the advantage? Or are we mini/Home Theatre people too "good" for that, hence the iTV is for "lesser" users?

no, no website. it is amazing that i work in this field and i don't have a website, but it is true. we don't have a commercial product, per se, but work as a consultant for 1 off projects. mostly high end residential installations and a few commercial projects here or there.
media companies, bankers, actors, musicians, etc... you know, MTV cribs, plus the more mundane luxury apartments and dwellings.
i do think that iTV is evolutionary if not revolutionary and an important part of apple's inroads to the living room, but it is also more... it is apple's only hope of staying relevant in the arena that is now dominated by cable providers and soon verizon, with its FIOS service and FIOS tv. thanks to DVRs and on demand service, the traditional cable company is beginning to make popular the fact that TV watching does not have to be based upon "broadcast" or real time delivery. people can watch content when they want to, by either streaming an on-demand service or playing back locally recorded media. the iTunes store, if it picks up enough steam, could be a viable replacement for broadcast service in the future, and iTV the ideal portal for the end user. the questions one has to ask, is pay per download going to be viable against the $40 / month to $120 / month or so subscription services that the cable / phone companies have to offer. also is the iTV's $200 to $300 price going to be competative versus the $5 to $15 DVR lease/rental fees. right now, apple has 2 disctinct dissadvantages, it is more expensive, and the quality of the media is far inferior. right now apple has a max resolution of 640x480 where cable companies are offering on demand and DVR recording capability of true 1080i (with massive MPEG compression artifacts, unfortunately, but still better than clean 640x480).
what does apple have going for it? well, ownership. many people still like the idea that when they download something, they own a file that they can do what they want (or at least what iTunes will let them do with it). verizon will have some sort of PC management application that might allow transfer of content from a DVR to a portable media player. TIVO series 3 has the ability to transfer video too, on the PC side.
unfortunately, it looks like apple is going to miss the next coming wave of computer based DVRs. el gato is no longer allowed to sell the 500, their only box that was able to record US QAM HD signals (2nd hand info, might be rumor, just no demand?). every manufacturer is pretty much signing up with Win Vista and WMV based, encrypted / secure video technologies, which leaves apple no room to compete in this market. people are just not going to find non-HD DVR/PVRs relevant.
iTunes, as popular as it is, i think, is still in its pre-rollout stage to what it will evenutally evolve into. i have no doubt that we will see HD content from the iTunes store. i also think that the cost of downloads must decrease. first they have to prove to the studios that they are a viable portal, able to hold their own with the traditional content delivery methods. if they continue with this strategy, their hand will be forced to provide either subscription based services or lower download charges to mere pennies rather than dollars.
apple has the dissadvantage of not being a broadband vendor. verizon, time warner, comcast, and rcn are going to be duking it out in this arena. however, it looks like apple wants to be a player when it comes to the media. personally, i like the idea of signing up for Verizon FIOS with 15MBps download speed for under $50 per month. however, i don't like their DVR boxes and the closed system that it creates. i would totally sign up with iTunes and download the couple of shows that i would actually watch from the store and not pay for cable, however the 1 wildcard, is Tivo series 3, with its dual tuner HD CABLECARD capability and my local TWC service... is awfully appealing, especially if they ever get the Mac OS X version of the management software (the current version only does pictures and music, no video).

Xbox 360 Screen Capture

I was wondering, what is the most effective way to take screen captures of a game I'm playing on my TV (high resolution, preferably), and place it on my computer for my website?
I'm using a Macbook.

I use one of the Eye TV Hybrid devices - it has s-video/composite inputs as well as the HDTV digital and analog TV signals.
The manual says that you can use this arrangment to record from your game console (they claim that the delay through the device is sufficiently small to allow you to play the game using the computer as the screen). I've not done this myself but I have used it to record from my VHS player - not the same resolution you are after (but that it the 'fault' of the recorder) and the process works very well.

XBOX 360 Screen Flicker

I have a 6-year old Xbox 360 and so far, there has been no problems apart from very recently, it red-ringed due to hardware error, but I have my compter plugged into an
acer monitor and my Xbox is connected to it via HDMI. Whenever I try to swap from my computer to my Xbox, it doesn't pick it up, however when my computer is not plugged into the monitor, it shows the Xbox screen for about a second and goes to black,
it does it over and over again. I unplug the HDMI and plug it back in again and it is fine. However I need to unplug it from the monitor, I can't just reset the Xbox, I wish I could just turn it on again and switch screens like it used to. Any help will be
amazing. This is a big issue for me as there is about a million wires behind my monitor.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 and later can not be installed on OSX 10.6.8.

Hi
I bought a new Canon EOS 5D mark 3 and noticed that my MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 can not handle the new raw files.
Searching google shown that I need Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12 or later.
So I tried with 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14, but all failed during installation with error: "Dieses Update unterstützt nur Aperture 3 und iPhoto 9."
Hmmm
Checking iPhoto ...
About IPHOT shows "Iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424)"
So I've updated Iphoto with version 9.2.1 (which I found matching my OSX after stepping down from highest version down ..... Apple is here not really supporting users here .......)
Unfortunately this is only an update.
So I need to install first a newer Iphoto version.
Iphoto 11 I can buy in the app store, but I can not install it on OS/X 10.6.8 .....
Lost!
How do I get my raw files of 5Dm3 visible in OSX 10.6.8 ???????
Any help welcome
Thx
Wolfgang

I maintain up to date my system, yet I have from time to time when I take RAW picture issues in iPhoto not reading them. Today, looking for another issue I came across this update and I was hopping it would resolve my issues with the RAW photos from my Pentax K-30.
The error:
Installer quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the app again. Click Report to see more detail information and send to Apple.

This laptop cannot be upgraded further without hindering its performance. Hence, I need to keep the version of iPhoto that I currently have.
Thank you for your response.

I have a Symphonic 32' HDTV (Dolby Digital Plus). can someone help me figure out how to configure it optimally with my Mac Mini? the display and sound is off. Do I need drivers/software? I'm new to macs.

Hello, since nobdy else has replied...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

From my iphone 4 will I be able to play games like Infinity Blade or even modern combat games through Apple Digital AV Adapter on my HDTV/HDMI LCD-television?

I have a question before buying it...From my iphone 4 will I be able to play games like Infinity Blade or even modern combat games through Apple Digital AV Adapter on my HDTV/HDMI LCD-television?
Will it support or i have to wait for iphone 5!!!

Having spotty luck with it... see my other post in the iphone discussions...
It does work, but only some of the time - it seems to need a kick in the *** though. Sometimes it links to the TV right away, some times it takes some switching between apps or videos in the camera roll, and now for some reason, it takes plugging my wife's phone in first and then swapping phones once her's is recognized and TV output connection made before mine will output signal to the TV.
And it seems to do video only with some apps and audio only with others, and then nothing with yet others. I guess I just expected it to work, given that we both have freshly updated iphones (4.3), good cables and 2 HD TV's to test with...

Canon EOS 100D is listed as compatible in Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.01 but when I connect my camera a message appears telling it's not compatible with the operating system?

Canon EOS 100D is listed as compatible in Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.01 and when I have checked for software updates there are none available. I've downloaded the Canon software, connected to my mac via the cable and followed the instructions in the manual. Sadly I just get a message saying it's not compatible with the operating system. I've tried inserting the memory card into the mac to and it doesn't seem to see it. Can anyone help please?

Camera RAW ≠ Camera driver, the RAW update is for the .CR2 canon raw image file (in your case) compatibility.
What happens when you try to import photos using Image Capture or iPhoto?
Can you take a screenshot of the error message?
I always prefer and recommend using memory card import over using the camera.

Digital I/O Voltage Logic Level Compatibility

I think the PCI6534 High-Speed Digital I/O board can meet my application needs in terms of being able to transfer the required amount of data at the required speed using an appropriate protocol in which the I/O board interfaces with an FPGA that is collecting data from an ADC. However, the FPGA can only be programmed to handle voltage logic levels up to 3.3 V LVCMOS. From reviewing the specifications of the I/O board, it is 5 V TTL/CMOS compatible. The FPGA would be able to produce sufficient logic levels to drive the I/O board with sufficient noise margin, but I don't think that the FPGA could handle a 5V input from the I/O board on it's I/O pins. The FPGA would be damaged. I would like to avoid placing as much hard
ware on the evaluation board as possible. Are there any application solutions from NI that can circumvent this problem? I am currently looking at other I/O boards to see if they can handle 3.3V compatibility as well as investigating different voltage level translation solutions that can be placed between the I/O board and the FPGA. Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I see 4 options:
1. Try it with the 6534, and maybe use some resistors in a resistor network or pull up/ pull downs to limit the voltage.(being careful not to blow any ports)
2. Try a 3v to 5v converter chip, the DAQ card does run up to 800mA of current at 5V out to a pin on the connector blocks, you can power the chips off of that.(this would add delays, but at least the would be constant and minimal)
3. Try looking for a DAQ card that is isolated (PCI6527 or equivalent) or one with an external reference input. Some of the NI cards have an external voltage reference pin in the card which would allow you to substitute a 3v reference for the standard 5v.
4. Use an analog output card to run digital. Some of the analog cards will have speed comperable to a fast d
igital one.
The good thing about most NI hardware is that you can use the terminal blocks as a good place to hide extra parts like pull up resistors and such.

Those of you who have already imported "unsupported" photos into Aperture (i.e. Nikon D600) photos, simply choose Photos->Reprocess Original after installing this update (and restarting Aperture), and the photo will then show up.
Aperture Expert has a little summary too:
http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2012/10/24/digital-camera-raw-compatibility-u pdate-401-for-aperture-3-a.html

I cannot fathom why a RAW update is not compatible with all versions of Aperture 3. This is forced redundancy in my opinion. Not happy...
I understand that this is annoying for you, but it is part of the redesign of MacOS to make it more efficient and not to waste disk space on redundant installations.
The recent raw update - as I see it - is an update to Mac OS X 10.8.x, not to Aperture. Since Mac OS X Lion Apple has started to migrate the raw support directly to the OS, so they do not need to install the raw support as update to many different applications. I have not checked yet - is this update included in Lion as well? I sincerely hope so.
Send feedback to Apple that you need this upgraded raw support also available in Snow Leopard.

I have a Sony PRS-300, is Adobe Digital Editions compatable with it?

My PRS-300 is not on the list of compatable e-readers... but the PRS-350 is. Is my PRS-300 compatable?

There are bugs with ADE2.0 that mean the combination ADE2.0/Sony reader/Overdrive library book does not work correctly.
This is one of the vast number of bugs in ADE2.0.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172

To use ADE (either version) with a Sony device you need to install Sony Reader.
Download from https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
Even if you don't use Sony Reader, it installs a device driver that enables ADE to interact with the Sony.
(Not sure why Sony makes this awkwardness that other devices don't have, it slightly marrs a really excellent lightweight ereader.)
