Help Needed Sony Monitor Cable Hookup

I just received my Sony PVM 14-L2 monitor today for color correcting and need help with what cables I should use. I have a Canon Elura camcorder that I will be using as a deck.
Please guide me on which ones I should use as I don't want to buy/use the wrong cables. The Sony manual is not very helpful.
Thank you.

" If all you have is a little rca yellow video out on the camera, hop on down to radio shack and get a bnc cable long enough to go from where you want to put the camera to the monitor, AND get a bnc to male rca adaptor.
Never mind hooking any audio to the monitor, the speakers in them are NG"
Jim,
Thank you! Yes all I do have is the RCA yellow out. Thanks for making things simple to understand. I was afraid that I made the wrong monitor purchase (from Bogiesan's comments). But I know you all advise viewing your work on a good NTSC monitor. As far as the audio goes - I'm really not using it for that.
I'll let you know how it works out.
If I was to buy something down the line to make it work from computer to monitor - what should I purchase? A board, prosumer video camera...?

T530 lenovo thinkpad, need dual monitor cables/converters: just a USB to split into 2 VGAs?

I want to run dual monitors from my T530, or, better yet, from the 4337 docking station. Can I just get a USB with a split pair of VGA ends?

you want to run two extra monitor in addition to the internal LCD? The T530 with the series 3 workstation dock will be able to support that, if you want to use displayport or dvi out.
If you need vga, you can get a USB2VGA conveter, and use the other vga port on the laptop as the second vga source. If you need to have 2 vga to give the exact same video signal, you can get a vga to dual vga splitter cable.

Conversion help needed ---Sony DCR-HC30

I feel like a total dummy here because I can't figure this out .......AND, I have done it before! Its been quite a while and the old brain isn't all it used to be, I guess.
I have a Sony DCR-HC30 camcorder. I imported a movie I took into iMovie. I edited it and played with it to my little heart's content. It is finished now and I want to run it back through my camcorder, into a VCR to copy it to a VHS tape. I know what you're thinking ......WHY? Answer .....as a gift for my mother-in-law who does not have a DVD. Later, I will record it using iDVD for myself to get the better quality I want.
So, please, can someone give me complete directions on how to do this????? I cannot find the info in my manual. I have the camcorder connected to my computer via firewire, and the camcorder is connected in the In jacks of my VCR. What am I missing? What mode does the camera need to be in?
Thanks to any kind soul who can put me out of my misery.

Hi, Kathy!
I have the same camcorder and I love it! Just perfect for all this movie-making, and it is great in low light, and small enough to be easy to carry with me.
Now, there are 2 ways to capture your movie on VHS tape. One is the straight pass-through set up...that you describe. Just put the camcorder in VTR mode and don't put a tape in it. Push record on the VCR and play on the iMovie.
However, I recommend that you use the method that will take longer. You do it in 2 steps. First, 'share' your iMovie back to your camcorder onto a DV tape. Then, disconnect the camera from the computer and connect it to the VCR using the AV connector that came with the camera. Then record the movie to VHS.
The reason I recommend this double recording (once to DV tape and once to VHS) is that you will then have a digital copy of your iMovie that you can use again and again to import/edit/re-record/ burn to DVD. You don't have to leave your movie on your computer and risk that it might become corrupted/lost in a computer crash/etc. You will also have a permanent digital copy as a backup. I know, you have the original, but after spending time creating your edited movie, it is very nice to save it.
I have been copying my old family vhs tapes and photos into iMovie and making DVDs of each year's footage. Some years we were more into movies and photos, so some years take up 2 DVDs. I recorded almost all of the original VHS tapes onto DV tapes to import (yes, about 120 hours so far), and when finished with each imovie, I export the edited version..with titles, transitions, music...to another DV tape to preserve it in that form as well as the DVDs I have made. I guess I am afraid that some newer technology will make DVDs obsolete and I think maybe the DV tapes will last longer. I am working with some VHS tapes that are already 23 years old!
Anyway, that is my 2cents for you

HELPED NEED! AV Cable * Universal Dock

I purchased the universal dock and av cable hoping to play my music from my ipod on my stero system. The cable has a line that fits into the steroeo nicely but then it has three lines; one is yellow, one red, and the last one is white. I put them all in respectively while the music was playing and i can't hear anything. What should I do??

You've most likely connected the wrong connectors if you know what I mean.
The AV cable you have incorporates a vidoe stream. For listening to audio only, your cable would only have two connectors at one end.
You should still be able to use the cable though - connect the single plug at one end to the iPod dock, then connect the White plug to the Black port on your hi-fi and the red plug to the red port on your hi-fi. Make sure you turn your iPod volume up and change your hi-fi's source setting to Aux (auxiliary, line-in or something similar). The yellow cable is for video - you might have these three connections on your TV.

Help needed--activity monitor not working properly

Activity Monitor is currently not showing any processes, no matter what I do. Otherwise, it appears to be functioning normally. I just can't see any processes listed. Also, A.M. works normally in a different account on my MBP.

Hi
In your user account Library/Preferences/ folder, there's a file com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist Quit AM first, then drag this file to the trash. This is the preference settings file for AM & it's possibly gone a bit odd. A new one will be created when you next open AM - any setting/display changes you made in AM will be lost.
Try that - if it's ok now, just forget the file you trashed.

Help please with which cable I need

Hello,
Please could someone help me decide which cable I need to buy to connect my bt hub to the bt set top. Eg I know I need an RJ11 cable for the bt hub to the phone socket but which cable for hub to set? I have an older hub, about a few years old, ithat a makes a difference to the type of cable.
Many thanks.

Thanks for your help. Sorry for not explaining properly but the cable kit original kit is damaged as it was chewed by my rabbit and it'sthecable from the hub to the bt vision box I'm looking for. I don't want to go into a shop and get ripped off with an expensive cable so just looking for a cable I can from online (but need to know what I'm looking for, which I don't! I am so clueless!).
Thanks again. Hope you know what I mean now.
Ah, my bad. I took it you were either coming back to BT or was explaining to us that you were already a BT customer and was thinking of taking out BTVision and was wondering what cables were needed. The reason I mentioned scart and hdmi was purely to let you know that the only additional cost would of been an HDMI cable.

PowerMac 8600 Needs New Monitor

I have an 8600 that needs a monitor. Exactly what type of adapter do I need to hookup a monitor (crt) to it?
Thanks

The signals involved:
Red intensity and its ground
Green intensity and its ground
Blue intensity and its ground
Horizontal Sync -- indicates start and end of one row of dots across the screen
Vertical Sync -- Indicates start and end of one screenful of rows of dots
... can only be transposed from the typical
"VGA-style" three-row 15 pin Male (with pins) connector on the cable-end to the
Apple "two-row" 15 pin Female (with holes) connector on the Mac Display Card
... in one way that will work.
The poorly-documented "feature" that will trip you up is that the Macs of that era expect a code on pins 4, 7, and 10 that tells the Mac what kind of display is attached. If no signals are asserted, grounded, or cross-connected with wires or diodes on those pins, the default of "No display attached" gives no picture.
You need an adapter specific to the broad class of displays you intend to connect. There are over 17 different legitimate codes for Mac displays, but frankly, most of them are for obsolete displays. The most common still used are for VGA Display (640 by 480 and Super VGA 640 by 800) and Multiple-Sync display (640 by 480 and 832 by 624 and 1024 by 768 and possibly 1152 by 870) switchable on the fly. And it needs to be specific to older Macs and have the pins and holes on the correct sides. There are other adapters for a different problem that have the pins and holes reversed.

Unfortunately this is very difficult because the top half of your post, your really the only one that can answer what the setup should be. The adjustments are made based on the acoustics of your room and how everything sounds noone can really give you info on it because every house, and room has different acoustics. The walls, insulation, carpet or bare floors, basement or main floor are just some examples of what can make a difference in sound reproduction.   By the way NHT (Now Hear This) are excellent speakers. For bass and treble, the music I listen too requires a high treble content so I usually have it at 7 out of 10 but my bass is at 4 out of 10.   The sub base should be fine where it is.
Did your receiver come with an Audessy mic for calibration. I would use that for a basic setup and go from there I am not sure if on your unit it will do frequecy but I think it did.
Your volume settings look fine again personal preference there is right or wrong.
For you listening mode Preset you should have an auto setting I am at work so it may take a coule of hours for me to get back to you as I have to go through your manual and see what you would set it up with so please bare with me. I will list the info as I read it so it may not be in the order you have it.
I will have to make a second post since I can't go back and edit this one.

URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
Gary

1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...

I cannot get my monitor cable to fit in the hdmi to vga adapter

Hello
I was wondering if anyone is having the same issue as me. I'm trying to plug my new mac mini into my Dell flat screen monitor. It doesn't seem to fit my HDMI to VGA cable so I'm assuming that my cable is in fact a DVI? The cable is actually a little too big for the VGA adapter and no spots for the screws. If anyone could help me further I'd really appreciate it.

Hello, what does the connector on the Monitor & Cable look like?
VGA & DVI...

Help needed to hook a MacBook to a Samsung TV?

Howdy,
I hooked my Samsung Plasma 850/860 TV to my Macbook with a new LOGiiX HDMI Cable ll (with audio support) to run iMovies on the TV to view my photographs. I get the blue Mac galaxy but cannot get anything else on the TV screen. I am plugged into the HDMI In 2 plug in on the TV.
At one point the cursor left the Mac and appeared on the screen and I could move it around but no programs appeared or popped up from the bottom of the screen. I tried removing the HDMI cable and plugging back in which caused the screen to go gray and buzz, then switch back to the blue galaxy screen, then back to the gray screen alternating every 5 seconds or so.
Also I see from some of the discussion threads that some folks have had to hook up an additional audio cable. If I am reading the packaging on the HDMI cable right, I am guessing that I only need the cable I have?
Does anyone have any ideas? I am a novice at this.
Thanks,
Chris

OK. Like markwmsn says, it is in fact working, as an external monitor in Extended Desktop mode, and you know it's working because you can see the Mac desktop. The reason you can't see anything else is because you simply haven't dragged anything to the TV screen yet. (If it wasn't working, you would see nothing, just a black screen. But you are seeing something.)

Old Mac laptops needed an additional audio cable. New Mac laptops support the latest HDMI spec and do not need an audio cable, they can carry everything in the HDMI cable if the cable is also up to date. Unfortunately I don't remember what the dividing line is in terms of versions, but if you bought the MacBook in the last couple years it will probably be new enough.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............
