Help, Canopus ADVC-55 Dip Switch Setting.

I just bought one today (but with no manual), I can't figure out what the (6) dip switch settings should be at.
I live in USA (California), If anyone can help..thanks in advance!
Using IMovie 5.0.2

If they are same as on my Canopus ADVC110, then switch 6 sets the video format.
OFF = NTSC
ON = PAL
So you need to set it to OFF.

Giga Designs Dip Switch Voltage Settings

Hi,
I have a Giga Designs 1.8 Ghz dual processor. My particular model has 6 dip switches for setting voltage. Does anyone here have a chart, or guide for setting those switches to set voltage. I found a guide online [here|http://www.macgurus.com/forums/showpost.php?p=117337&postcount=14] for the 5 switch models that Giga made, but nothing for 6.
Thanks,
medinaray

Hi,
.....Well now, this is very interesting and now a bit confusing. I did a quick online search for a Giga Designs installation guide and could not find one. But I do have the hard copy installation guide that came with the processor.
The link you provide clearly shows the 6 switches and a six switch guide. My hard copy chart shows a five switch guide for setting processor speed(it says processor speed), making our guides different. I also have a copy of the installation guide on the CD that came with the processor and it is the same as the hard copy version. My guide also warns to not adjust the voltage jumpers labeled J6 thru J10; that would be five switches. I checked my processor and neither set of the jumper switches are labeled J6 thru J10. I see a J22, but that is it. The model number in your link is 7A-1800UPG, and mine is P7AD-1800U. Are the 5 dip switches on the right side in the photograph the voltage switches(J6 thru J10)? Well, I adjusted those 5 dip switches on the right side of the processor because my installation guide shows settings for 5 switches. Naturally, I assumed the six dip switches on the left side of the processor were the voltage switches that the installation guide warns to not adjust. Can you see why the confusion?
Finally, I compared the 6 dip switch setting on my processor to the 6 switch guide in your link for 1.8 Ghz at 100 Mhz system Bus and they are identical. So, I feel a little relieved, though concerned that the voltage setting on my processor is now maladjusted.
Which is which, what is what? Are the 6 switches on the left for processor speed? Or, are the 5 switches on the right for processor speed? What is the difference between model 7A-1800UPG and P7AD-1800U?
Why would Giga supply a 5 switch guide for processor speed? Did Giga make a mistake in the installation guide they sent me?

Want to set the 16 DIP switches to use the Instrument simulator in RS232

Can't find the meaning of the 16 DIP switches in the NI Instrument Simulator documentation for use in RS232.

The switch settings are in the latest version of the manual. You can download it from here.

Canopus ADVC 110 - picture split in two, black and white, distorted sound

Hi there - I've just recently bought a Canopus ADVC 110 - unfortunately I cannot get the picture to display properly - I've spoken to Apple and to Canopus, but neither seems to be able to help me sort this out.
Basically my imovies does receive a visual and an audio signal from the ADVC 110 ... but the picture is split in two (top half on the bottom, bottom half on the top), its black and white when it should be colour, and the sound is heavily distorted.
The help people at Canopus tell me that this appears to be an issue with PAL and NTSC settings and that there have been reported problems with importing analogue signals from combined VHS/DVD players (which is what I have). They've suggested that the box (ADVC 110) is being 'confused' by multiple signals coming from the VHS/DVD player (this doesn't help me much though). They talked me through arranging the settings so that the Video cassette, the ADVC 110 and the VHS/DVD player are all set to PAL, then have changed the setting in imovies to also read PAL - imovies then tells me that the camera connected is not using the same format (despite the letters 'PAL' on the front of the thing) - changing the imovies setting back to NTSC allows the signal to be received, but in the way described above ... OK, then its the issue with the combined signals from the VHS/DVD player ...
... but, I've now tried it with 2 other VHS players (not combined with anything else, but both supporting both PAL and NTSC ) and the result is exactly the same - I've tried it with every combination of the relevant switches on the bottom of the ADVC 110 - either the picture is as above or imovies will not import (or allow me to view) the picture or sound.
I've tried different cassettes - I've used both SVideo and 3 phono (red, yellow, black) as well as scart connections on th eback of the various VHS players - I've tried restarting the computer, the ADVC 110 and the VSH player - I've disconnected the ADVC 110, and quit imovies, between each attempt - the result is the same each time.
I've tried to find more about this on the internet, but this specific problem doesn't seem to come up - maybe I'm missing something or phrasing my searches badly.
Has anyone any suggestions on where I go from here (rather than bringing it back to the Apple shop and asking for a refund)?
And sorry for the length of the question!

Hi Estaphin
Welcome to discussions. I use a Canopus ADVC 100. It's similar to yours. I've never had a problem with it. I've used it connected to a VCR and an analog video camera. Then imported the video into im for various projects.
Try this. First clean the heads on your VCR. Connect an RCA cable to the L/R/ V out on the VCR. Next, connect it to the Canopus front panel - in. Connect the fire wire out on the Canopus front to the firewire in on the Mac.
Put the VHS tape in the VCR. Don't start it yet.
Open im. Set im for a new project. Turn on the Canopus from the on off switch at the back. From the input select button on the top left front of the canopus, select analog in.
Press play on your VCR. im should recognize the signal. In im select import. Your video should begin importing fine. The qulaity of the images on your computer screen will appear to be poor -- dark, faded, etc. This poor quality is for two reasons. First, analog tape can degrade fast depending on how often the tape was used previously, and how it was stored and at what tempertures.
Second, im will display the image darker because of conversion. But, don't worry. Once you burn the finished product to DVD, you'll be surprised how clear the picture is compared to what you viewed in im.
Make sue your DIP switches on the bottom of the canopus were/ are put back to the original settings.
Try that. I hope it helps

Canopus ADVC 110 with FCE4.

Hi all,
does anyone know whether the Canopus ADVC 110 converter works on FCE4?
On the specs they mention always about FCP, not FCE.
By reading at the specs the device converts from analog/digital in DV, hence I think FCE4 should manage it to capture from analog sources, but I'd rather like to be sure before buying it.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
Regards,
Armando.

It will work fine. Lots of people use them with FCE. I've been using one for years.
Change your easy setup to *DV PAL-DV Converter* when you use your ADVC. Also make sure the dip switches are set properly on the unit before use; and only connect or disconnect it from your Mac when the power is completely off. (Not just shut down, but actually disconnected from power.)

MacPro, FCE 3.5 and Canopus ADVC 300

Hi All,
I finally got the new beast setup! I started to do some work today then ran into a really weird issue I hope someone can help me resolve.
Here's the new setup...
The Mac Pro has a SIIG PCIe FW card in it and that's attached to the same FW drive I've been using with the PB G4. The on board FW has the same Canopus ADVC 300 connected to it I had with the PB G4.
Now here's the interesting part... I set the video playback to Apple NTSC Firewire, no problem. I start playback, nothing. I click View/Video/Apple NTSC Firewire, then click play in the canvas and it plays back normally.
Hang on, it gets stranger now... I open another program, Safari for example. I do what I wanted then go back to FCE. I click play, nothing. If I go back to the open program, then back to FCE and hit play, it plays normally. I tested Finder and it does the same thing. I also found If I go back to View and choose Apple FireWire again, it will play.
What am I missing here??
Thanks for any suggestions!!!!!!
-John, currently the seriously confused one!

Problem still exists. Just closing the question.

What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card. For best quality, which cable should I use?
On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
-5 B-Y OUT
-4 Y OUT
-3-R-Y OUT
-7-R-Y IN
-8-Y IN
-9 B-Y IN
-15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
-10 AES/EBU OUT
-12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable. On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT).
How should I connect this? Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI?
Any help is much appreciated.

Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300. I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector. I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video. I also read how well BMPro improves image quality. So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be).
Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both. But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter.
I guess I’m wondering what is better quality:
Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
(I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

Issue with importing DV from Canopus ADVC-300

My concern is this:
When I convert and import footage from VHS tapes through my Canopus ADVC-300 I have to babysit the import because whenever there is a spot on the tape without footage (blackness, snowy confetti screen) either the Canopus device stops sending the signal and iMovie stops importing because of this OR iMovie senses the same thing the Canopus does and stops the import.
Is there a fix for this? I would like to be able to just hit IMPORT and walk away for 2 hours, so I can do other things with my day and simply go back and edit out whatever frames are fuzzy or blacked-out.
Please help... Thanks!

Hi Roots and welcome!
I use the canopus ADVC110, presumably not a universe away from your Canopus, but I have only once got the problem you describe from VHS tapes, and that was a tape that had been stored too long without use.
Try fully winding the tape forward and then rewinding again. It can loosen 'sticky tape'. Cleaning the tape heads of the VCR is also beneficial.

Capturing using Canopus ADVC-100 No Power via Firewire

I recently purchased a used Canopus ADVC-100 to use to convert Hi-8 tapes. I'm using a 6 pin to 9 pin connection to my iMac. There are no lights on the ADVC-100, so I'm assuming it is not getting power from the iMac. I do not have an external power supply to test the ADVC-100. The iMac/FCPX is not recognizing the device, so it's not a case of a burned out light. Any help welcomed. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I was relying on this bulletin from Grass Valley:
http://www.grassvalley.com/docs/Application_Notes/professional/advc/PRV-4077M_AD VC_FireWire800_AN.pdf
Looks like I read it incorrectly. Any leads on the proper power supply? Mine did not come with one.

Canopus ADVC 110 and Final Cut Pro

I have FCP 5.1.4 and I have attached Canopus ADVC 110 using white, red, and yellow video cables to my VCR to capture a home video and transfer to CD. I am getting nothing on FCP when I hit log and capture. What should my settings be on capture settings? And is there anything else I need to check? Thank you in advance for any help.

Hick, thanks for the help. One thing I had to do was to push the button on top of the Canopus once I started the tape. Thanks again for your help and have a great Easter. Randall

How to read USER1 DIP-switch status of a cRIO chassis from FPGA?

How can I read the status of the DIP switches on a cRio chassis from the FPGA?
I am working with a cRIO 9022.. My idea is to set the system into a "service" mode by setting the USER1 switch to ON and communicate with the FPGA via the FPGA-GUI(VI) on the host computer instead via the RT module which is used under normal conditions.
Any ideas? Unfortunately, I do not have an unused channel left ...and (as far as I know) can't use the RS232 from the FPGA.
Many thanks in advance,
Luke
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, this is the correct information. You cannot read from the FPGA the DIP switch status. The only thing you could do is to use the Read Switch.vi function located under Functions -> Real Time -> RT utilities palette
This is how you probably know only for the RT Host side and not the FPGA.

Why is iMovie the only app that sees my Canopus ADVC?

I'd like to do some audio recording through my Canopus ADVC 110. Yeah, I know, I could do it through the built-in audio in... but is that port really as good? Besides, what the heck did I buy this nice expensive box for, anyway?
But iMovie seems to be the only thing that it works with. I tried recording from Quicktime Pro, but all I get is a black screen, and no sound. And yes, I did select the ADVC as the video source, and DV audio as the audio source. No help.
Meanwhile, GarageBand doesn't seen to notice it, and even the Sound preferences panel doesn't acknowledge its existance as an audio source.
So what gives?

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

No audio in FCE with Canopus ADVC-110

Working in FCE HD 3.5, when I try to capture VHS from my VCR through the Canopus ADVC-110, the video is captured, but no audio. No audio appears on the audio tracks. When I do the same in iMovieHD, both the video and audio come through clean and clear.
I have the easy setup in FCE set to DV NTSC DV Converter. (Same thing if I have it set to DV NTSC). Any suggestions? I'm on an iMac 2.16 Intel 2GB, with a 500GB external hard drive.

I'd try shutting everything off completely, removing all cables and then start from scratch.
FCE should be able to import using the DV Converter option.
I suspect some king of weird fluke like cabling that the audio didn't arrive.
If that does not work then try trashing the FCE Preferences. Otherwise, I'm stumped as well.

DIP profile setting

Hi, gud morning, eveybody.
I m working on construction project which requires me tointegrate DIP with PS. i have made the setting as explained in SAP-help and documents provided in BB46, but somehow, i have failed to understand if it is really meeting my requirement. basically i m trying to say, i m not getting the concept of DIP.
1) what do i need to do to make DIP work with planned total records ?
2)where does planned DIP pick up the cost or resorces from and where does it plug it in quotaion if im working with resource related quotation?
3) when i run 'check prifile setting under ' DIP status it says 'not ok' what does it mean how do i turn this arround?
does someone have any really useful document on DIP settings other than help file or can someone explain DIP with setting.
you could mail the doc on <b><REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>.
Thankyou for reading my query.
gud day all..

Maintaining Profiles for Sales Order and Billing Request
Use
The Dynamic Item Processor (DIP) profile defines and controls resource-related quotation and billing for service orders and sales documents. It may be maintained in either the Customer Service or the Sales and Distribution section of the IMG. The DIP profile allows flexible determination and translation of actual labor, material and other costs into sales materials for appropriate pricing and billing.
DIP profiles BC10 is used exclusively in the value chain for time and material project.
Integration
The DIP profile functionality is closely integrated with the controlling module for the processing of cost objects into sales materials.
Prerequisites
Relevant sales document types, condition records, sales materials have been created.
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu Project System ® Revenues and Earnings ® Integration with SD documents ® Creating Quotations and Project Billing ® Maintain Profiles for Quotations and Billing
Transaction Code ODP12.
Activities:      In the configuration item Profiles for Sales Order, Billing, Results Analysis, choose profiles BC12.
     The DIP profile can be used for processing resource-related billing and results analysis, as well as for generating resource-related quotations. To do so, sales document types must be defined for each usage. Access the Usage section of the profile and maintain the following entries:
DI Usage     SD Ty BC12
1 Billing & Results Analysis     Z2TC
all other fields leave blank
     Access the characteristics section of each profile. The characteristics are the objects which the system will take into consideration when processing and displaying resource-related billing. For both billing and order usages, set the characteristics as follows (note that other settings are automatically defaulted in by the system):
Characteristic     Charact
Relevant     Material Determ     NoSummarizat.     Structuring     Sequence
Z2TC
Accounting Indicator     X
Activity Type     X     X     X
Object number     X
Period     X
Transaction Currency     X          X
Unit of Measure     X            X
all other fields leave blank
     The sources section determines what type of costs will be selected by the DIP profile for each usage. More detailed selection criteria are available, but not maintained in this setting. Access the sources section of each profile and maintain the following entries:
Line     Source     Percentage
1     0001 Actual Cost - Line     100
     Access the material determination and criteria sections of the profile. Material determination defines the sales materials that costs will be converted into. The criteria defines cost element groups (cost elements are determined from the labor activity type or the component account assignment) that correspond to each material. For both billing and quotation usages, define material determination as follows:
Material/Service     Material Determination:
Transfer Quantity/Costs     Material Determination:
Conversion Quantity     Criteria:
Activity Type
Z2TC
I00342     X (Transfer Cost & Qty)     Checked
I00984     X     Checked
all other fields leave blank
     To confirm that all entries and settings in the DIP profiles are consistent, go to the configuration item check profile settings. Enter the DIP profile and execute. Green traffic lights should be displayed next to all items for both usages. Otherwise, determine the inconsistency and make the necessary correction.

How trust worthy are the dip switch OC for the NF980-G65

Love the idea of just flipping a switch to OC, especially for someone like me that lacks experience over clocking. Just don't know how trust worthy it is to do it this way. I did try the first level setting at 10 percent. Jumped my processor from 3.2 to 3.5 very effortlessly. Also automatically boosted my RAM. I was messing with RAM timing in the BIOS around the same time and when I restarted my computer the video wouldn't display. Had to reset the CMOS and set the dip switches back to default to get everything working again. Now I'm afraid to try them again.
Anyone else have any success using the dip switch OC method?
ben

HI. I have a 785gm-e65 board wht switches. I have tried all settings, but 20 % got me the blue screen right off.
I am at 15% 3.68gz. The front side bus is at 230 and the cpu multiplier at 16x. all settings did one step on the
memory speed, i did not try to change anything. I run flight simnlator FSX and it has 3 cores at 100% and am stable.
gonna leave it this way for now. Klop :smiley:
