How to force sequence timecode out to DSR-11

My sequence timecode is set to start at 58:30:00 to I can have color bars, slate etc ... and my film starts at 1:00:00:00. Now I want to force the timecode to be recorded onto the tape in my DSR-11.
I've set the DSR-11 to record DVCAM and set the timecode to use 'External'. Within FCP is also seems I have to use 'Edit to Tape' rather than 'Print to Video' if I want to export timecode.
So when I try all this, my sequence will be recorded on to the tape, but the timecode stays at 0:00:00:00, doesn't move. And when I play back the recorded sequence off the tape, the timecode doesn't change, just stays at 0:00:00:00 as well.
So to be clear, I'm not asking about the timecode generator or reader filters. I just want the finished tape to reflect the timecode I've set in my sequence.
Thanks for anyone's help here.

Since FCP 4 we have been unable to stripe a new TC such as 00:58:00:00 or 01:58:00:00 to a DVCAM tape with the DSR-11. NO MORE!! I think I found a solution.
Get SimpleVideoOut from the Apple (its free):
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/SimpleVideoOut.html
Then create a QT Movie in FCP or Xpress Pro from a sequence which has the starting TC you want on the tape. I just tried it with 00:58:00:00. In the timeline, I just put Bars & Tone for 90 seconds and a black slug for 45 (to take me over 01:00:00:00). You could create a sequence with whatever combination you wanted with the TC set to start at whatever timecode you need for your choice. But the Timeline TC MUST be set to your desired starting code. The exported QT file will have this TC in it.
Then load this DV QT movie into SimpleVideoOut (having selecting Firewire / Apple Firewire PAL or NTSC when you open the app).
Now load a fresh DVCAM tape and set your DSR-11 to:
REC MODE = DVCAM
DV IN TC = EXTERNAL
(Have the TC display turned on for this first test so you can verify it has worked.)
Then just hold the REC and PLAY buttons together on the DSR-11 and press play in the SimpleVideoOut app and the new TC will be recorded to your DVCAM tape. Hey presto you are now able to stripe a tape with what ever timecode you want using a DSR-11.
Remember to turn 'DV IN TC' back to INTERNAL on the DSR-11 when you come to record your edit to tape.
The problem with the DSR-11 is that it is not the best deck and starting recording at the exact TC, but playing with the pre-rolls should eventually get it spot on. I have had some success with FCP's 'Edit to Tape' and very good results with Avid Xpress Pro after a few tweaks.
Also, if you just had a black QT file, you can change the starting TC to suite the tape; i.e. 00:58:00:00 or 02:58:00:00 etc without going back into FCP or Xpress Pro and rendering out another QT. To do this, just use Sebsky Tools to alter the starting TC of the file.

What happened to the Giant DSR-11 Timecode out thread

What happened to the Giant DSR-11 Timecode out thread? The one about using simple video out to stripe the tape.
people keep asking me how to do it, and I'd love to just send them a link to that thread, but can't find it when I search for it. Anyone have the link?
thanks, tim

Naa, props like the kind that hold me up when I've had too much to drink.
Or maybe the props that make the plane go.
Or maybe I should have said "mad props."

How to force checked out CSV Files to open in Excel and not in Notepad

Hi,
I'm looking for some pointers / direction.
.CSV files on SharePoint 2010 document library opens up in notepad by default. I did the DocIcon.xml CSV entry, changed the MIME type in IIS and did the IIS reset. Also on client computer CSV file is associated with MS Excel 2013. Now clicking a CSV file
opens it up in MS Excel.
Now a user checks out a CSV file and the same user clicks on the CSV file, the file is opening in notepad! If other users clicks on the same checked out file (checked out by the first user) it opens up in Excel for them. I've tried the 'Edit in Microsoft
Excel' from the pop up menu but with same result.
How can I force a checked out CSV file to open in MS Excel?
Thanks

1. Highlight one of the images and press cmd+i (or right click and select "Get info")
2. Click the dropdown menu and select Photoshop (you might have to click "Other..." to find it.
3. Then click "Change All" button below.
You're going to have to do this with every different TYPE of image (e.g. jpeg, tiff etc) but once you've covered all the types you won't have the problem again.
Hope this helps!

How can we force everything printed out of Oracle to print greyscale

How can we force everything printed out of Oracle to print greyscale and not color?
I looked in CUPS and there is no way to distinguish what color scale to output, it has to come from the source (Oracle) with that parameter.
I have confirmed that printers are already set to force to greyscale, but this is overridden by the date coming from CUPS rather than a Windows machine. Please investigate options to force all print jobs from Oracle, whether as outputs from concurrent programs or the ctrl-p print window contents function, to greyscale.
EBS release 11.5.10.2
Thanks in advance.

It's actually setup at the printer level.
Check the printer color mode setup by accessing the printer web interface at http://<printer name found in Oracle>.
Thanks,

How To Force All Devices To Log Out Of GameCentre?

When I was at my friend's party, I logged into my game centre using his iPad. However, I forgot to log out when I left. Now he has been hacking my Clash of Clans daily. I've changed my password numerous times and concluded that if he doesnt log out, he isn't affected. How do I force a log out on all devices?

This may be a question best asked Apple. With iOS6, Game Center has been made almost impossible to log out of. meaning, I log out in game center itself, and certain games log me back in, even after I've logged out. So it seems even after you log out of the Game Center app itself, certain games have logged and keep your password and log you back in.
You friend may be messing with your account, but it's also just as likey that he's playing the game and can't get and keep your account logged out.

Exporting a Sequence timecode to DV Tape?

I have spent more than and hour looking for this answer on the boards and have been unsuccessful. It seems like most editors should know how to do this, but I do not.
When the tape starts, I need the time code to read 00:98:00:00 and then have black and color bars to play for 2 minutes and then the Sequence starts playing at 01:00:00:00.
I need to do this because I am sending this project to a company to have closed captions and audio descriptions added to it. They need a timecoded tape in order to accurately do their job. I believe exporting the timecode to tape this way is the standard among professional editors.
I have a Sony DVCAM DSR-11. It plays DV, MiniDV and C/'/16K tapes.
Is this Deck capable of exporting the sequences timecode to tape? If so, can I use a MiniDV tape or do I have to use a C/'/16K tape? I believe a C/'/16K tape is a DVCAM tape?
If not, what deck do I need to buy in order to do this?
The closed captioning company is asking for the project on a timecoded Beta SP, Digi Beta or DVCpro tape. Are these the standard tape formats among professionals?
I want to provide projects to companies in a professional way. Please advice.
Thank you,

$5 Starbucks card to first successful answer: how to import midi timecode into Logic Express 9 from Roland VS-880 or Ensoniq ASR-10

I will literally mail a $5 Starbucks card or gift $5 via paypal to the first person whose response gets me success. Then after all responses are provided and I'm successful with my issue, I'll also raffle off $5 to one of ALL respondents by random pick.
Problem/question:
I can't figure out how to import midi timecode data from either an Ensoniq ASR-10 or Roland VS-880 Vxpanded into Logic Express 9, so I can then use Logic Express 9 as the master. No manuals seem to explain that; I just can't find it.
Background/basics:
1. My ultimate goal will be to move all midi data from the Ensoniq ASR-10 floppies and all digital audio files from the VS-880 into Logic Express 9. Once the midi timing is imported into a Logic Express 9 file, I'll import the data from the Ensoniq & Roland via steps 2a & 2b below.
1a. Ten years ago I somehow (am in the process of re-learning what I did 10 years ago) imported the midi timing into the Roland VS-880 Vxpanded from the ASR-10, and then used the VS-880 as the Master to control the ASR-10. So my current status is that I use the Roland VS-880 as the master, and the Ensoniq ASR-10 as the slave.
2. FYI for anyone who might be in the same boat, wanting to transfer stuff from an Ensoniq ASR-10 and Roland VS-880 to the computer:
2a. I will import all midi sequence data from my ASR-10 floppy disks via a utility purchased here, which will all a PC to read Ensoniq-formatted disks, and then just hopefully cut/paste midi files into Logic Express 9 (FYI only): www.chickensys.com
2b. Then will import all the individual WAV files from my Roland VS-880 to Logic Express 9 using a method learned here (FYI only): http://www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=985974&PHP SESSID=b1d2f57be4a1d37d49787400213b22df
2c. I'll then combine them all into Logic Express 9.
So - how the heck do I capture/import the midi timecode into Logic from either the roland or ensoniq using midi?
I'm don't think that cutting/pasting the midi data into a Logic Express 9 sequence file (step 2a above) will do that, because there are all kinds of tempo & time signature changes in the midi files unfortunately.
THANK YOU and Merry Christmas!!

OK doesn't look possible. Closing discussion.

How do I put timecode on the storyline. In FCP 7 there was a time code reader that read the actual TC on the source material. There isn't one in FCP 10.1...Any recommendations???

TC has not been lost...skimmer shows source TC.
Nanoflash external recorder via SDI on a Sony PMW-EX3.
Ok so Compressor will show source TC on an individual clip, good I didn't know this and it will be helpful.
My scenario. I build a timeline with a whole days shooting involving many different clips and build a Sequence from that-editing out the off camera questions/mistakes etc. In the past I would export with source TC with a Timecode Reader filter applied. Now, it is a TC Generator filter that is available that starts from 00:00.
1. Possible solution, forget the source TC since I have a timeline built with (counter) TC on it and send that to client or get Apple to add it in the future.
2. Apply TC Generator on a clip by clip basis and manually change the TC to match source material. Probably too, much effort though.

How to force refresh of data through browser or PDF?

We have the dashboard set to refresh every minute. We are pulling the data using XML from DB. When we are in browser and clear the browser cache and then reload the .swf... the data is updated. We haven't been able to figure out how to force the cache-clear and data refresh with either swf or pdf.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
Is the XML coming from a web page or a web server?
If yes then you can give this a go. To stop the caching mark your web page with extra tags to say it has expired.
HTML page example:
<HEAD>
< META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" />
< META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0" />
</HEAD>
JSP example:
<%
// Stop Internet Explorer from caching the results of this page.
// We do this so that every time Xcelsius calls this page it see the latest results.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>

Matt

How can I print directly out of Pages on my iPad?

How can I print directly out of Pages on my iPad if my Brother printer is not airprint compatible? I currently have a Brother MFC-J615W and have downloaded the Brother iPrint app; but that only works with pictures and PDFs it seems. I know I can use the cloud to transfer and just print from my macbook, but I am starting school and would love to cut out that middle step if possible. I know... how lazy is that? But I feel like I should be able to make it work with a little ingenuity. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Try to arrange them manually afterwards: afaik, it is impossible to force an order when syncing:

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

How to force CoreDump in the Kernel source code

Hi,
Anyone know, how to force coredump in the Kernel source code?. And also to collect all information related to CPU Registers, CPU IRAM, Cache Data and complete SDRAM content.

pull your RAM out....
Wouldn't recommend doing that really...... And why would you want to cause a kernel panic?
EDIT: Spelling sucked...

If delivering your content from an LMS, there should be an option to play the content in a separate browser window...without toolbars. This makes it a lot easier to predict what size you need to build your course.
After factoring in all the variables and using trial and error on a number of systems, with and without LMSs, I've found a size of 995x627 to be almost ideal. It's big enough to display most software apps and websites, but small enough to be viewable by users on 1024x768 systems.
You have to remember that if you have a significant number of end-users on 1024x768 and that's the lowest common resolution you need to build for, then you CANNOT make your screen size 1024x768. You have to build smaller to allow for toolbars, browser chrome, etc.
One of the first things any wise elearning developer does when they begin a project, before they start creating content, is to survey their user base and find out what constraints are imposed within which they need to work. Things like monitor resolution, Flash-player version, LMS, bandwidth all play a part in the success or failure of your project. Find out early rather than later.

How to create sequence

How to create sequence(Auto generated no in oralce) with out using Triggers?
If i create trigger sequence of numbers are getting generated but in case if i want to include explicit sequence no at the end of the table say like '9999'...it is not getting updated
Pls help very urgent..

Generally Sequence is used in a Trigger to generate some column value automatically. Something like the IDENTITY column used in SQL Server.
If i create trigger sequence of numbers are getting generated but in case if i want to include explicit sequence no at the end of the table say like '9999'...it is not getting updated This totally depends on how you have written the trigger. If you can show your trigger code we can help you out.

Edit to Tape timecode out-of-sync

I've looked around the forum but haven't found anything on this that could solve my problem. My setup is a new Dual Core Power MacG5, Sony DSR-25, and output via Fire-Wire.
Whenever I output my video to tape, a drop-frame stop is inevitable (don't know why but it happens). But when I match the sequence timecode up with the video timecode in order to resume recording (even going as far as matching what the current frame looks like onscreen), it doesn't match up correctly...it's always off. There doesn't even seem to be a consistent number of frames or seconds that it is off by.
I need to get these sync'd spot-on. So if anyone could help me with this, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
